Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 12 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.
Looking at the big picture, AMD claimed the RX 6600 XT to be faster than the RTX 3060, and that is borne out by our testing – at 1080p, the AMD GPU is 12% faster on average. It's 14% slower on average than the RTX 3060 Ti however, despite being just 5% cheaper in terms of the MSRP. We can also see a very marginal difference between the RX 5700 XT and the 6600 XT, with both cards effectively as fast as each other.
At 1440p, the 6600 XT does fall away slightly, as it's now 9% faster than the RTX 3060, rather than the 12% margin we saw at 1080p. Compared to the RTX 3060 Ti, we're looking at an 18% difference, which really puts these GPUs in different performance categories. Interestingly, the 6600 XT and RX 5700 XT have the exact same average frame rate at this resolution, which shows you just how similar they are.
