PowerColor Launches Radeon RX 6600 XT Red Devil and Hellhound Graphics Cards

[btarunr]

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.

I am sure that Red Devil will not cost at least €150 over the MSRP.

Will be priced into irrelevence no doubt.

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.

This has nothing to do with AMD but everything to do with AiB's doing their best to increase their cut.

Halo cards barely make sense on the flagship SKU like the 6900XTX and 3090.

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.

Red Devil should only go to the 6700XT SKU's and higher, but for RX 6600 XT and possibly lower, I'd think Red Dragon and HellHound would suffice.

That Hellhound looks mice and simple, they did the correct thing with the power connector too. Might grab one of those or a Sapphire for a HDMI 2.1 port to plug my TV into...

Rest assured this hot off the press card will be a devil of a price, to which most will respond, "To hell with that"!

I wonder what's next, Perdition Pumps & Fire Blocks for cooling? Nothing like a slice of hell for everyone's PC.

Those aren't 80mm fans on the hell hound. My guess is they're closer to 100mm, just got one last night. I guess I can measure it when I get home.

*edit* Power color website lists them as 100mm fans indeed.
