AMD Radeon RX 6600M Tested, Compared with GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU

[btarunr]

An HP Omen 16 gaming notebook powered by AMD Radeon RX 6600M graphics, was compared with those based on the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, and the RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU. The RX 6600M was found to post significantly better performance/Watt (total graphics power/TGP) than the RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, and go on to perform in the same league as the RTX 3060 Laptop GPU. The RX 6600M trades blows with the RTX 3060 Laptop GPU across a wide variety of games at 1080p, although the NVIDIA chip has an upper hand with 1440p. The RTX 3060 Laptop GPU also owns raytracing performance. The crypto-currency mining hash-rate of the RX 6600M is significantly lower than the RTX 3060 Laptop GPU. These numbers show that for for mainstream gaming notebooks with 1080p 60 Hz displays, the RX 6600M provides a formidable alternative to the RTX 3060 Laptop GPU.

If priced correctly this is good for competition in the mobile gaming-segment. So emphasis is on the pricepoint (in reality)

Considering the 6800M is on par with 3080 and costs ~500 USD less (and $150 less than 3070), I have no doubt this will be priced well under 3060.

It still kinda loses to the 3060. AMD have made the 6600m more 3060 alike in performance. I know it's not a huge difference basically not much of a difference but still. price will be the key selling point here.

Then compatition there is!

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

pretty close, but just not quite there.

Its more on par with a 3070, maybe in the middle. But still will cost less.

Not quote where? What a ridiculous take.

It is literally hard to find a game that 3070 can beat 6800m at.

AMD Radeon RX 6800M Review

Here's our first look at AMD's new Radeon RX 6000M GPUs destined for gaming laptops. These new RDNA2 GPUs are the most competitive products AMD has released...

And I'm not even talking full 6800m, but crippled by ASUS edition. (slow mem, render through iGPU)

 

[Blaazen]

The description on the "Mining" screenshot says: "MH/s | Higher is better".

I disagree. Lower is better!

Which 3070 or 3080 are you talking about?
There at least 4-5 versions of either.

 

[yotano211]

Sorry, I meant to say its between a 3070 and 3080 full watts version.

 

[Richards]

Bad performance considering the clock speed

Clock speed doesnt have nothing to do with performance.

I wonder how the metrics would look if it's a Ryzen Mobile APU + 6600M vs a Ryzen Mobile APU + 3060 Mobile, and with all the possible synergistic features turned on where relevant (SAM for both, DLSS/FSR, and AMD's mobile "Smart" system, that auto-balances power and performance between both AMD products).

 

[Aquinus]

So, what they're saying is, is that the 40 CUs and HBM2 on my 5600m is pretty darn good.

 

[Vader]

Didn't expect this card to be below the 3060 tbh, that's a slight disappointment. I think both cards can be a decent gaming experience at 1080p for the next few years though, so it's all in the price and availability.

 

[Vya Domus]

Let's keep in mind that the 6600M has a measly 1792 shaders and almost 50% less memory bandwidth than the 3060, I'd never put them on the same level architecturally yet the 6600M holds it's ground.

AMD is destroying Nvidia right now in terms of computational efficiency, they achive the same performance with less than half the shaders and a lot less DRAM bandwidth. Amazing how the tables have turned.

Are you comparing to real shader count or to "Huang bovine feces" one?

I'm referring to deceiptive tactics of: "my shader can do not only fp + int, but also fp + fp, so I can double the claimed number of shaders"

Yeah, it's deceptive. It is technically possible to achieve their claimed FP throughput but by allowing simultaneous INT and FP that never happens in practice because you always need to calculate addresses in parallel.

Great to see AMD having a bigger presence in gaming laptops with their advances in perf:watt. Pity about RDNA2 RT performance defecit (yes, this matters to me), but that's to be expected at a given rast performance level.
