- Powerful blend of ray­tra­cing, com­pu­te and ras­te­ri­zed effects pairs with AMD Fide­li­ty­FX Super Reso­lu­ti­on ups­ca­ling tech­no­lo­gy and other advan­ced fea­tures to bring new levels of visu­al fide­li­ty and high-frame­ra­te gam­ing to the mainstream –

SANTA CLARA, Calif. 07/29/2021

AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced the AMD Rade­on™ RX 6600 XT gra­phics card, desi­gned to deli­ver the ulti­ma­te high-frame­ra­te, high-fide­li­ty and high­ly respon­si­ve 1080p gam­ing experience.

The AMD Rade­on RX 6600 XT gra­phics card is built on breakth­rough AMD RDNA™ 2 archi­tec­tu­re, the only gam­ing archi­tec­tu­re that spans from next-gene­ra­ti­on desk­top PCs, lap­tops and con­so­les to mobi­le devices and auto­mo­ti­ve info­tain­ment sys­tems. Offe­ring 32 MB of high-per­for­mance AMD Infi­ni­ty Cache, 8 GB of high-speed GDDR6 memo­ry, AMD Smart Access Memo­ry and other advan­ced fea­tures, the AMD Rade­on RX 6600 XT gra­phics card is built for the ever-incre­asing demands of modern games. It also sup­ports the new cut­ting-edge AMD Fide­li­ty­FX Super Reso­lu­ti­on open-source spa­ti­al ups­ca­ling solu­ti­on, which is desi­gned to boost frame­ra­tes and deli­ver high-qua­li­ty, high-reso­lu­ti­on gam­ing experiences.

The AMD Rade­on RX 6600 XT gra­phics card offers up to 15 per­cent hig­her per­for­mance on avera­ge with max set­tings across sel­ect AAA titles com­pared to the com­pe­ti­ti­on¹. It also pro­vi­des 125 FPS on avera­ge across a wide ran­ge of modern AAA titles², pushing the boun­da­ries of main­stream gam­ing by enab­ling incre­di­ble, high-refresh rate 1080p per­for­mance and breath­ta­king visu­al fidelity.

“1080p has long been the most popu­lar reso­lu­ti­on for PC gam­ing, and in 2020 more than two-thirds of the gam­ing moni­tors ship­ped were at this reso­lu­ti­on³,” said Scott Her­kel­man, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Gra­phics Busi­ness Unit at AMD. “Howe­ver, the most popu­lar older-gene­ra­ti­on 1080p gra­phics cards can strugg­le to even hit 60 FPS in modern games. The Rade­on RX 6600 XT rai­ses the bar for 1080p gam­ing. It was spe­ci­fi­cal­ly desi­gned to deli­ver the ulti­ma­te 1080p gam­ing expe­ri­ence for all gamers, offe­ring power­house per­for­mance and advan­ced fea­tures to bring beau­tiful, com­plex and hyper-rea­li­stic worlds to life.”

Epic 1080p Performance and Incredible Visual Fidelity

The AMD Rade­on RX 6600 XT gra­phics card is desi­gned to deli­ver the opti­mal com­bi­na­ti­on of per­for­mance and visu­al fide­li­ty for an excep­tio­nal gam­ing expe­ri­ence. It offers up to 2.5X fas­ter per­for­mance in sel­ect titles com­pared to the popu­lar older-gene­ra­ti­on com­pe­ti­ti­ve offe­ring⁴, making it an ide­al upgrade for gamers who want the best pos­si­ble 1080p gam­ing per­for­mance to power today’s most deman­ding games. Key fea­tures and capa­bi­li­ties include:

• AMD Fide­li­ty­FX – Now sup­port­ed by 50 titles and game engi­nes, AMD Fide­li­ty­FX is an open-source tool­kit of visu­al enhance­ment effects for game deve­lo­pers available at AMD GPUO­pen. Offe­ring broad sup­port on more than 100 AMD pro­ces­sors and GPUs, as well as on com­pe­ti­tor GPUs, the new AMD Fide­li­ty­FX Super Reso­lu­ti­on ups­ca­ling tech­no­lo­gy deli­vers 2.4X hig­her per­for­mance on avera­ge in “Per­for­mance” mode at 4K across sel­ect titles com­pared to nati­ve reso­lu­ti­on⁵.
• AMD Smart Access Memo­ry – Unlocks hig­her per­for­mance when pai­ring AMD Rade­on RX 6000 Series gra­phics with AMD Ryzen™ 5000 or sel­ect Ryzen 3000 Series Desk­top Pro­ces­sors and AMD 500-series mother­boards. Pro­vi­ding AMD Ryzen pro­ces­sors with access to the enti­re AMD Rade­on RX 6600 XT high-speed 8 GB GDDR6 gra­phics memo­ry can deli­ver a per­for­mance uplift of up to 11 per­cent on avera­ge in sel­ect titles⁶.
• AMD Infi­ni­ty Cache – 32 MB of last-level data cache inte­gra­ted on the GPU die redu­ces laten­cy and power con­sump­ti­on to enable hig­her gam­ing per­for­mance than tra­di­tio­nal archi­tec­tu­ral designs.
• DirectX® 12 Ulti­ma­te Sup­port – Enables games to deli­ver mind-blo­wing visu­als with real-time  DirectX Ray­tra­cing (DXR), Varia­ble Rate Shad­ing and other advan­ced fea­tures, ele­vat­ing games to a new level of realism.
• AMD Rade­on Anti-Lag – Helps decrease input-to-dis­play respon­se times, making games more respon­si­ve and offe­ring a com­pe­ti­ti­ve edge in gameplay.
• AMD Rade­on Boost – AMD Rade­on Boost with sup­port for Varia­ble Rate Shad­ing can pro­vi­de up to a 48-per­cent per­for­mance increase in War­frame⁷ during fast-moti­on gam­ing sce­na­ri­os by dyna­mi­cal­ly redu­cing image reso­lu­ti­on or by vary­ing shad­ing rates for dif­fe­rent regi­ons of a frame, incre­asing frame­ra­tes and flui­di­ty, and bols­te­ring respon­si­ve­ness with vir­tual­ly no per­cep­tu­al impact on image quality.
