SAPPHIRE PULSE AMD Radeon RX 6600
The SAPPHIRE PULSE AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT Graphics Card runs on the powerful Dual-X cooling technology coupled with Intelligent Fan Control to keep temperatures low and fan noise low. The refined PCB design delivers stable, reliable, and steady performance, which efficiently lowers PCB temperature and component signal noise.
Backplate
The all-aluminum back plate provides additional rigidity that nothing bends and dust stays out. It also helps cool your card by increasing heat dissipation.
Dual-X Cooling
SAPPHIRE's acclaimed Dual-X Cooling is powered by two massive yet silent fans and state-of-the-art radiator design. The new form of hybrid fan blades means greater airflow and superior heatsink coverage at lower noise compared to standard cooling designs.
Overall Review: First, this is the "Lite" edition of this card, which means it only has 1 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort. I don't run multiple displays, so it isn't an issue for me. With that said, I am really impressed with this card and the AMD software that runs it. This card replaced my GTX 1650 Super, which was really only adequate for current titles and barely so for games like Battlefield 2042. The RX 6600 runs BF 2042 at more than 75 FPS vs 50+ for the GTX 1650S (paired with an i5-10400). The card is quiet and runs pretty cool for a card that is as compact as this one is. At 97% GPU utilization the temperatures hover around 75 - 79 C. At idle, it sits around 35 C, which is a little warmer than the GTX 1650S, but this card also has a larger power budget, so that is to be expected. Overall, it is a great card, it stays cool and quiet, and it has allowed me to run much higher quality settings with impressive frame rates (1080P). Very happy with this purchase.
