Using the average frame rate data presented earlier in the review, here we look at the cost per frame using the USD ($) MSRP launch prices for each GPU. Usually we present this data using GBP (£) pricing, but this information was not yet confirmed at the time of writing.

Looking at the cost per frame data, the RX 6600 XT is competitive and sits towards the top of the chart. The interesting thing for me though, is the small improvement it brings over the RX 5700 XT – it is just 7% cheaper per frame at 1080p, despite being released over two years on from the launch of the first Navi GPUs.

That difference shrinks at 1440p, too, where the 6600 XT is just 5% cheaper per frame. It is also 16% more expensive per frame than the RTX 3060 Ti, with Nvidia's GPU just 5% more expensive in terms of MSRP, but offering significant better performance.
