Never used this vendor before but thought I'd contribute a post, cheapest price this Sapphire model has been that I'm aware of. Although not the cheapest RX 6600 XT one can buy, people may prefer this deal for the quality brand.
2% card, 2.6% PayPal surcharges.
How would you know?
Just got back from FY22
Well people have been saying 3060 ti will suddenly drop in the next few weeks, for the last few months….
For a low-end card not much difference just pick the cheapest and you are good to go
not great value, honestly.. the excellent xfx qick 319 at $399 with ple the other day was a fantastic deal and i wouldn't be surprised if we saw more similar tier cards at that price soon
This model is a lot better. Arguably the best 6600xt there is. But I agree not worth $50 over the qick which is already decent
Sapphire>Powercolor>xfx
i'm admittedly not super familiar with the performance of the nitro+ on the 6600 xt but i can't imagine it's that different to the qick, is it?
regarding your ranking - eh, it depends. that assume you're comparing similar tier cooler designs (eg nitro+ v hellhound v qick)
nitro has better cooler and rgb. But yeah the qick is solid enough. Ranking is mostly in regards to build quality Sapphire are the nvidia equivalent of evga (the flagship companies). PCB, fans and plastics all superb. If you've ever owned one evga/Sapphire build quality is a cut above the others
@Jimmy77: good to know re: cooler & rgb. sapphire is indeed great, though; ive owned a few sapphire cards in my time and my brother has one atm too. currently rocking an xfx myself. love both :)
@Jimmy77: The sapphire coolers have been pretty lacklustre compared to PowerColor this generation. Very small heatsinks, meaning they tend to not do as well thermally.
i think benchmark for this card is xfx $399
All 6600xts perform the same… cooling and build qty are the differance …
It doesn't matter on these cards though, they all run cool and quite.
Don't forget the "plus" delivery, plus surcharge.
If anybody's still looking for a cheap 6600 XT;

Bugger!
These retailers are *****. You can see it was exactly this week in 2020 when 5700xt dropped from this price to high $500's . Then to $499 around October.

Seems time around they're keeping it at high $600's for a few weeks longer.
6600xt will go to $350 in July
