Here we test Cyberpunk 2077, this time testing with the in-game ray tracing effects set to their highest values.

Kicking off our look at ray tracing performance, we know AMD GPUs struggle with the array of ray traced lighting effects found in Cyberpunk, so it's not a surprise to see the RX 6600 XT sitting bottom of the chart at every resolution. Even at 1080p, the two-year old RTX 2060 is outpacing AMD's new GPU.

Add in DLSS and we can see the RTX 3060 runs away with it in this head-to-head, delivering almost three times the frame rate of the RX 6600 XT. DLSS may not be perfect at 1080p, but considering the boost to performance it can offer, it's definitely something to factor in.
