AMD formally announced the arrival of their new mid-range Radeon RX 6600 XT, and it's looking good so far.
Team Red did the official reveal of the card in the unlikeliest of places: China's own version of Computex, the Entertainment Expo and Conference, or ChinaJoy. However, this didn't really take away from the great potential of the card itself, which Tom's Hardware reports could be the best GPU for silky-smooth 1080p gaming.
Here is the promo video of the card:
Official pricing is set at an MSRP of $379, which puts it in direct competition against NVIDIA's RTX 3060 Ti and 3060. According to AMD, the price is already adjusted based on what they thought people would see at retail stores. What this means is that fans can expect the AMD-set MSRP to be close to, if not match, the card's street pricing once it's officially launched.
The card itself has been rumored for several months now, and the MSRP is a bit different from the initial rumor of $349. Of course, people can expect higher prices on the actual market once the card releases, due to the markups by add-in board (AIB) partners and the general market conditions caused by the ongoing semiconductor shortage.
AMD will release the RX 6600 XT on August 11.

Here's what's under the hood of the new mid-range Radeon from Team Red, writes PCGamer:
1080p also remains the most dominant display resolution, according to the latest Steam Hardware Survey. Over 68% of gamers game on this resolution, and the furthest they often go are multi-monitor 3840x01080. Again, this is right within the RX 6600 XT's wheelhouse.
