The software can also be used to optimise performance on a per-game basis.
The card makes use of AMD’s impressive Adrenaline software that can be set to automatically overclock the card. The RGB lighting automatically synched with the PC’s motherboard, cooler, and memory creating a nice flow of colour across the machine. The cooler’s middle fan is an RGB fan, as is the panel on the board’s outer facing edge. A swift download of AMD’s all-in-one Adrenaline 2020 software had the drivers up-to-date and the card optimised for the installed games. Once I’d worked out how to get the card in the chassis, the installation went without a hitch. The card can support up to four displays via three DisplayPort 1.4 sockets, which allow for Display Stream Compression, or the single Variable Refresh Rate equipped HDMI 2.1 socket. The Radeon RX 6600 XT features the latest technology for display connectivity. The ASRock board, like all the Radeon RX 6000-series GPUs, is PCIe 4.0. The test machine sports an Intel i9 11900K, in an ASUS ROG Maximus Hero XIII motherboard with 16GB of Kingston Fury Renegade DDR4-4600 RAM. Power is provided by a single 8-pin PCIe cable. Unsurprisingly, the card takes up two PCI slots in the case. All told, it’s a nice-looking and solidly-built bit of kit. The card comes with stylish a metal backplate protecting the circuit board. This large size is likely due to the three fans that ASRock has chosen to fit on the underside of the card.
The card is 300mm from bow to stern, the same length as my EVGA RTX 3090 GPU. It’s so big that it only just fit in the test machine (note to self: get a bigger case for the test rig). Bigger than AMD’s own RX 6700 XT reference card. AMD sent us an ASRock Phantom Edition RX 6600 XT OC to look at. Unlike other 6000-series Radeons, the RX 6600 XT is only available from AMD’s third-party partners.
