An incredible card for 2022

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6600 EAGLE 8G Graphics Card, WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System, 8GB 128-bit GDDR6, GV-R66EAGLE-8GD Video Card
GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6600 EAGLE 8G Graphics Card, WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System, 8GB 128-bit GDDR6, GV-R66EAGLE-8GD Video Card

Pros: Price, FSR, cooling system, power consumption

Cons: Ray tracing is less mature then Nvidia.

Overall Review: As of April 2022, I would say this is the best option for 1080p gaming. I tested 3 games, Forza horizon 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Valorant. First off, I tested Forza horizon 4 which got a 177fps average at 1080p ultra settings. In Horzion Zero dawn, I got 78fps average at 1080p ultra settings. Finally, in Valorant, I got a whopping 430fps average at 1080p maximum settings. Overall the performance is great and based on other peoples benchmarks, this card will do 1080p 60fps high-ultra settings in every game easy. Plus with FSR you can get better fps and it looks pretty good especially on my native 1080p monitor. Plus during all the benchmarks the card never went above 66 degrees Celsius which is nice considering my last card was much worse. Power consumption was also great, I can power my entire system ( i5 12400, Rx 6600, 16gb ram) with a 500w (which is recommended) without any issues. This is great considering the 3060 recommends at least a 600w power supply and the 3050 recommends a 550w power supply. Finally, this card came in at only $369 compared to the 3060s $500 or more. Just make sure to spend a maximum of $400 on this thing.

Most Critical Review

I paid $8 for this??

Skinomi Screen Protector Compatible with Apple Watch SE (44mm)(6-Pack) Clear TechSkin TPU Anti-Bubble HD Film
Skinomi Screen Protector Compatible with Apple Watch SE (44mm)(6-Pack) Clear TechSkin TPU Anti-Bubble HD Film

Pros: None

Cons: I went through ALL 6 of the screen protectors trying to apply them. The solution just made the installation process harder one squirt of it makes the screen protector no longer stick and even leaving it out for a bit didnt help. It was extremely hard for me to try to install and I failed all six times. It refused to stick at the edges. The only reason I give it 2 stars instead of one is because the seller shipped it out quickly and it arrived well packaged.

Overall Review: Disappointed, avoid

Overall Review: Works with Lga 1700 which i wasnt expecting, keeps my i5 12400 very cool and it is much quieter than the stock cooler. Overall, its a great cooler and performs extremely well.

Decent card for the price

Pros: FSR, aesthetics, power consumption, price

Cons: 64 bit bus, pci express 4.0x4, only 4gb of vram

Overall Review: I used this card in my $470 gaming pc and it performs really well in all the games I tested. Every game i tested at 1080p low/med got at least 60 fps and certain games got much more than that. The price is pretty good, I got mine for $175 after the rebate. Unfortunately, this card has its disadvantages. First of all, the cards performance Tanks if you use PCI express 3.0 as it essentially cuts your bandwidth in half. Then theres 4gb of VRAM and thats not quite enough in 2022. Overall, dont listen to the haters, this card brings a lot to the table and its got pretty good 1080p gaming performance.

One of the best cases for the price point

Rosewill PRISM S500 ATX Mid Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Aura Sync Compatible Dual Ring RGB LED Fans, Top Mount PSU & HDD/SSD, Tempered Glass & Steel

Pros: 4 rgb fans, two led strips, good case quality

Cons: Power supply placement, certain cables are hard to cable manage, airflow.

Overall Review: I bought this case for $65 and it is an amazing case for the price. First of all, the is room for SO many sata drives, there is room for two 3.5 in drives, and four sata ssds. Next, the RGB fans were really nice and you can control them using only the button in the top of the case. At this price point, it does have its disadvantages. Putting the PSU at the top was not a good choice as it spits hot air right into your case making temps hotter plus it makes managing the psu cables a lot harder. Also, the case doesnt have a lot of airflow so it will make you temps hotter. Overall, this case is amazing for the price and I highly recommend it, especially since its been on sale for $50 at times.

Works great!

XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT105 Radeon RX 6400 4GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Low Profile Graphics Card RX-64XL4SFG2

Pros: True single slot card, low profile, low power consumption, FSR, price

Cons: Temps, PCI express 4.0 x 4, ray tracing

Overall Review: I bought this to bring an old dell optiplex back to life. And now my old computer is an awesome gaming pc. First of all, the card is tiny, and only takes a single slot. Its power consumption is extremely low, I can power my entire system, with only a 250w power supply no problem, plus it doesnt even get close to max out my psu. It works great for 1080p low/med settings at 60 fps in almost every game plus FSR definitely helps performance. Even though this card is amazing, it has some drawbacks. First off, the temperatures are pretty high, I got about 82 degrees C on it while gaming, also, ray tracing makes the games unplayable in every title i tested, there just isnt enough RT cores. Plus the pci express 4.0 x4 isnt good. Youre cutting your bandwidth in half when you use 3.0. Overall, this card is an awesome low profile card to use for a budget pc and I highly recommend it.
