Common questions.

Straight answers on the RTX 2070 Super versus the RX 6600.

  • Is the RTX 2070 Super better than the RX 6600?

    Yes, but by less than the spec sheet suggests. At 1440p the RTX 2070 Super scores 39 against 36 for the RX 6600 — roughly 8% faster. It also costs about $170 more at MSRP, so the question is whether that gap is worth the money for your build.

  • Does the RTX 2070 Super or RX 6600 bottleneck a Ryzen 5 9600X?

    Paired with a Ryzen 5 9600X at 1440p, the RTX 2070 Super build comes out 35% GPU-bound, and the RX 6600 build comes out 35% GPU-bound. Being GPU-bound is the healthy outcome — it means the graphics card is the part working hardest.

  • Is it worth upgrading from the RX 6600 to the RTX 2070 Super?

    Only if you are also lifting the rest of the build. The RTX 2070 Super is about 8% ahead at 1440p, and gaps like that shrink further at 4K where the GPU does more of the work. If you are upgrading from the RX 6600 purely for frames, check the pairing first.

  • Which is better value, the RTX 2070 Super or the RX 6600?

    On performance per dollar at MSRP, the RX 6600 wins. The RTX 2070 Super lists at $499 for an index of 39, and the RX 6600 at $329 for 36.
