Pros: Finally after waiting for prices to come down to msrp I got a new video card. I only game in 1080 so I don't need anything more than this. Was using GTX 1050 Ti. Night and day difference in frame rate.
Overall Review: Finally got a new video card!! The chip shortage and scalpers really put the screws to us gamers over the last few years. Refused to pay over MSRP for a video card. I only game in 1080 so I don't need anything more than this. Was using GTX 1050 Ti. Night and day difference in frame rate. It's a good looking card as well. Back plate is plastic but doesn't look cheap.

Besides the obvious brand difference, the card specs appear nearly identical. The following link seems to affirm that comparison - but card suffixes in the same brand are different. Interesting

This one is the 6600XT. One google search will tell you The RX 6600 clocks in at 2044MHz and up to 2491MHz, respectively. Gamers are also treated to faster RAM with the RX 6600 XT. It's capable of 16Gbps speeds and has a memory bandwidth of up to 256 GB/s, compared to 14Gbps and up to 224 GB/s on the RX 6600.

As always, I did a "Google" search.
But, my bad - crossed the MC XT and non-XT models when looking at models vs prices evident by
noting the correct models on gpumonkey .link.
Your correction is accurate.
