PowerColor Launches Radeon RX 6600 XT Red Devil and Hellhound Graphics Cards
PowerColor debuted its Radeon RX 6600 XT graphics card series with the RX 6600 XT Red Devil and RX 6600 XT Hellhound custom-design graphics cards. The lineup will be joined by additional models from the Fighter and Red Dragon series in the future. For now, the RX 6600 XT Red Devil is a beefy, triple-slot card that's about two-thirds the length of larger, triple-fan Red Devil products from the company. This one features a dual-fan setup, but the styling is consistent, including the air-dams near the tail-end that light up. The card features a compound aluminium fin-stack heatsink with at least two fin-stacks skewered by a common set of heat pipes.
The Red Devil features the company's highest factory OC tier for this GPU, a meaty 12-phase VRM, and goodies that include dual-BIOS, addressable-RGB headers, etc. It draws power from a combination of 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connectors. The Hellhound, on the other hand, features a more compact dual-slot design, with a lighter heatsink that uses three heatpipes ventilated by a pair of 80 mm fans that light up. There's no dual-BIOS, but you can toggle the blue LED off with a physical switch. The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. The company didn't reveal clock speeds or pricing.

AMD seems to think they're entitled to MSRP parity with nvidia due to sometimes matching them in rasterization now, yet with pathetic RT, still questionable software/driver issues and an absolutely unacceptably poor video encoder quality. Meh.
In the price-sensitive mainstream segment, every single buck matters. People will pay $10 more for a backplate, $10 more for some ARGB, $10 more for a larger/quieter cooler but that's about it. Nobody wants $30K of options on a $30K car, they'd rather just buy a $60K car in the first place.
I wonder what's next, Perdition Pumps & Fire Blocks for cooling? Nothing like a slice of hell for everyone's PC.
*edit* Power color website lists them as 100mm fans indeed.
