ASRock Radeon RX 6600 Graphics Card Now $180 in the US

[T0@st]

Newegg is currently running a promo offer on an ASRock AMD Radeon RX 6600 Challenger D 8 GB graphics card—a code can be used at checkout to remove a further $20 from the already low retail base price of $199.99. Prices of this previous generation GPU are falling internationally, but Newegg's all-time-low price is only available to customers in North America. The recent launch of a successor (Radeon RX 7600) has ultimately caused retail outlets to lower their asking prices for older cards—VideoCardz notes that certain custom RX 6600 custom cards have dropped this week to around €209 in Europe, following consistent downward trends since new AMD and NVIDIA offerings hit the market in late May.

TPU's review of AMD's Radeon RX 7600 GPU states that this new lower end RDNA3 card offers a 25% gen-over-gen performance uplift versus RDNA2's RX 6600 (non-XT). The latter certainly offers excellent value at its current very low price on Newegg, with a saving of $90 over the RX 7600's steadfast MSRP of $269.99. Further drops are anticipated following the arrival of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 (non-Ti) on June 29, but Newegg's next batch of promotional codes could be less generous with discounts by then.

Great price. Bought this exact model and that exact price at microcenter last week for my brother. Ended up buying the last one.

Great performance and low power draw/heat. He's getting the full 75hz on modern AAA games. Huge upgrade over his old 1060 3gb

Prices for 6600 have been 200 EUR for weeks by now (~end of may), which is about 180USD.

Bought this model for my stepson a while back for $199. Faster than my Vega64 but barely even sips 100W while I was benching. I had to really force it with MPT to get it to draw more but by that point it was at the silicon limit for clock anyway.

A great price for a great card, but I wouldn't buy it from THEM.... hopefully B&H, da Zon or some other shops will be matching it soon

Just email their Customer Service on a price match, you might get it and not have to compete for remaining stock if/when they do cut the price.

The 3060 despite the premium is the better option thanks to DLSS and RT. In fact, the 3060 share in the Steam Hardware Survey is literally 10 times more than that of the RX 6600 and 12.25 times that of the RX 6600 XT

3060 premium is like 1.6x the price so obviously not worth it. At that price your better off getting the 6700 non XT or waiting to see what happens with the 4060

What's the point of raising this? Is this supposed to motivate why the 3060 is a better buy than the 6600?
These numbers are inflated anyways, mobile 3060 is added to these numbers.
3060 are still going to outnumber the 6600 by a lot but not this much.
Actually it seems they've separated it out nowadays. Good on you Steam.

Aside from that I agree with @tussinman, they don't share the same market segment...

The point is to troll, just check the accounts post history.... and also notice they never actually reply or whatever, they just drop their nonsense and move on, its not an actual argument.

What I don't get is why don't the mods/higher ups ban this prick?

What can this thing do with MPT, have you tried timespy by any chance? - for ex my old reference 6700xt could maintain 2.8Ghz actual with extra 40watts(242watts actual). https://www.3dmark.com/spy/24257642

It's awesome to see what budget AMD cards can do with power unlock. With NV, I have to shunt mod them - in many cases there simply isn't a compabile higher power bios for a flash. Still relatively ez but software is easier.

Keep in mind that the test bench I ran it on was an older AM4 with Ryzen 2700X so something like a 5800X would see a few more points.

Very energy efficient card. If I recall, I set MPT to something like 300W but it never pulled that high, more like 125-150W at the highest stable clocks.

Honestly though - is it worth more? I think not.
