AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today launched the AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 graphics
card, designed to provide visually stunning, high-refresh rate
1080p gaming experiences to the midrange market.
The AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics card leverages breakthrough AMD
RDNA™ 2 architecture, the only gaming architecture that spans from
desktop PCs, laptops and consoles to mobile devices and automotive
infotainment systems. Offering 32 MB of high-performance AMD
Infinity Cache, 8GB of GDDR6 memory, AMD Smart Access Memory™
technology and support for the Microsoft Windows 11 operating
system, the AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics card is designed to bring
next-generation desktop-level experiences to PC gamers. It also
supports the AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution open-source spatial
upscaling solution, which is designed to increase framerates in
select titles while delivering high-resolution gaming
experiences.
The AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics card is designed with the needs
of future-ready, high-performance 1080p gamers in mind. Capable of
driving 100+ FPS in top AAA titles1, the AMD Radeon RX 6600
graphics card also offers up to 1.3X better performance-per-watt
than the competition in select titles in 1080p at max
settings2.
“The latest generation of games deliver massive leaps in
life-like visuals that are driving more graphics performance to
meet the demand for the best possible 1080p gaming experiences,”
said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager,
Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “To meet this demand, we’ve designed
the Radeon RX 6600 to make these new breathtaking experiences
available to more PC gamers, providing the performance of an
enthusiast-class powerhouse in a midrange solution.”
Next-Generation High-Performance 1080p
Gaming
The AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics card offers an ideal blend of
performance and image quality for exceptional gaming experiences
and is an ideal choice for gamers seeking display-maxing framerates
and crisp visual fidelity at 1080p in today’s most demanding
titles. The AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics card takes full advantage
of numerous advanced features, including:
- AMD FidelityFX
technology – AMD FidelityFX technology is an
open-source toolkit of visual enhancement effects for game
developers available at AMD GPUOpen. The new AMD FidelityFX Super
Resolution (FSR) spatial upscaling technology, supported on more
than 100 AMD processors and AMD GPUs, as well as on select
competitor GPUs, offers an average 2X faster performance across
select titles in “Performance” mode at 1080p compared to native
resolution3. To date, game developers have added support or
announced plans to add support for FSR in 50 top games and game
engines.
- AMD Smart Access Memory (SAM)
technology – Now supporting AMD Radeon
RX 5000 Series graphics, SAM technology unlocks higher performance
when pairing AMD Radeon RX 5000 or Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics
with AMD Ryzen™ 5000 or select Ryzen 3000 Series Desktop Processors
and AMD 500-series motherboards by giving AMD Ryzen processors
access to the entire high-speed GDDR6 GPU memory.
- AMD Infinity Cache – 32 MB of last-level
data cache integrated on the GPU die helps reduce latency and power
consumption to enable higher gaming performance than traditional
architectural designs.
- Microsoft Windows 11 Support – With the latest
AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin release, AMD Radeon graphics cards
are optimized for the latest Windows 11 performance optimizations
and features, including DirectX® 12 Ultimate, Auto HDR, Microsoft
DirectStorage and more.
