ASRock RX 6600 XT Phantom Gaming D 8GB OC Review

AMD’s Radeon RX 6600XT has proven to be a solid contender for the real world, mainstream gamer. ASRock’s Phantom Gaming D 8GB OC version of it takes it up another notch. Performance at 1080p should make most happy, and if you aren’t into the ultra-competitive scene, it can handle 1440p and even some 4K gaming as well as long as you don’t just max all the eye candy sliders. The only real shortfall is Ray Tracing performance, but that’s just a limit of this segment of AMD’s lineup rather than something ASRock can fix. There is enough there to play with it but stick to traditional Rastering rather than ray tracing.

Performance aside, ASRock’s Phantom gaming treatment of the card gives you plenty of good looks and a healthy dose of silence. The fans certainly kick on under full load, but they hovered around the 1200-1400 RPM range which is inaudible more than a few feet away, and core temps barely broke into the 60C range. Core overclocking is pretty pointless, the boost algo AMD uses already keeps the card maxed out, but throwing a few hundred megahertz at memory speed does net a few more points in every benchmark. The OC profile available in ASRock Tweak already adds another 100Mhz to the memory for you. All in all, if you can get your hands on one, it’s a pretty compelling choice for any gamer looking for price to performance in the current market.
