Surcharge for select payment methods: 1.2% Card & Paypal, 2% AmEx.

Currently on the hunt for an interim video card until the new AMD and Nvidia GPU's come out (Currently dont have a video card hence the need for an interim one).

For a bang to buck value, its not too bad as im a little wary of catching a falling knife in the current GPU pricing climate.

Specs are Up to 2602 MHz / 16 Gbps, 8GB GDDR6, DisplayPort x 3 (v1.4)/HDMI x 1 (Supports 4K@120Hz/8K@60Hz and VRR as specified in HDMI 2.1)

Does pretty good 1080p gaming and even though some reviews say it may struggle at times with 1440p, a review of past deals here indicates that the Ozbargain community is happy with the 6600xt's performance at 1440p gaming.

  Was interested in this model due to its compact size, however thermals/noise levels seem to be really bad.

  Couldn't find much good info about it online (OP the TT review is for the premium MSI Gaming X model which has a different cooler), but a couple of bad signs:

  • Not to be confused with the MSI 2X OC 6600 XT which looks to have a much better heatsink

  • It doesn't use a proper finned heatsink, you can see from the photos/unboxing videos that it's the single piece, low density type.
    It looks similar in size and design to the one on the terrible Biostar 6600 XT

  • From the super limited youtube videos that exist on this card, saw people commenting that it reaches >80⁰ under full load

  Decided to avoid this model based on this research/estimation

    I was trying to figure out the difference between the OC and the OCV1 which was about $50 more.

    I read somewhere else that one had a 5600xt cooler on it.

    But thanks for your thoughts, I posted this deal to get other people's views.

      No worries!
      Also just sharing my thoughts, at this price some may be willing to overlook thermals.

      The OC2X is 20mm longer which rules it out for me, but it has a much better looking heatsink with proper fins.

      Also wonder what the story is with them having this "V1" version that still seems to be sold alongside the OC2X while having a much lower-spec looking cooler.
      Maybe they realised the V1 cooler is inadequate and released a revised model? Just speculating, and couldn't find anything online, but that was another thing that scared me off!
