Days Gone is a 2019 action-adventure survival horror video game developed by Bend Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows. As part of Sony's efforts to bring more of its first-party content to Microsoft Windows following Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone released on Windows on May 18, 2021. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Unreal Engine 4. We test using the Very High preset, DX11 API.

As for Days Gone, while it's not a sponsored title, by using Unreal Engine 4 and the DX11 API this game definitely has a preference for Nvidia GPUs, so the fact the 6600 XT is matching the RTX 3060 at 1080p is a good result. There's a clear gulf between this card and the RTX 3060 Ti however, while it is also on par with the RX 5700 XT.

Not a whole lot changes at 1440p. Like we saw in Control, the RX 6600 XT, RX 5700 XT, RTX 3060 and RTX 2060 Super are all clumped extremely close together, with less than two FPS separating all four GPUs. Averaging over 60FPS at 1440p max settings is an impressive result for those cards, though.
