To test the gaming GPU we installed this machine on our test bed (3.6 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU on Gigabyte motherboard, 8 GB Kingston RAM, WD 512 GB SSD, ViewSonic gaming monitor running on Windows 10 OS). We ran through various synthetic and real-world testing and focused on the esports aspect of the card. We also ran tests to know the card’s abilities to handle AAA games.

To check its real world's capabilities, we installed games like Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, The Thief, Shadow of Mordor and Halo Infinite. The RX 6600 XT is a midrange GPU focused on 1080p performance and offers the AAA gaming experience.

Playing games like Halo, Thief, NFS, etc. on it is a pleasure. It is silent, cool and comes factory overclocked at a boost frequency of 2607 MHz. With it, you can play all games perfectly at up to 8K at 7680X4320. You can play all the modern and latest games on this FHD to 8K card.

To overclock this card, one can use AMD's Radeon Software utility, I was able to achieve a small, yet stable boost. However, there was no significant performance gains with manual overclocking. The AMD GPU delivered awesome performance on synthetic benchmarks and scored 59347 on Geekbench, 7546 on 3D Mark 11, 11513 on 3D graphics mark, 8427 on GPU Basemark, and 3632 on Unigine Heaven Benchmark.
