The PCB, as always in XFX, is exquisite and it has also been designed in a short format, so the card resizes the heatsink, thereby improving dissipation. It has a perforated backplate, a single 8-pin power connector, and a maximum frequency of 2,607MHz.
Its price falls from 759.9 euros to €539.89a discount of 28%.
PowerColor FIGHTER RX 6600 8GB
What we have here is the basic PowerColor unit for the RX 6600 based on a compact graphics card, with a width of 2 slots and two good 9cm fans that will blow cold air over a simple in-body heatsink with three dense heat 6mm pipes.
Its advantage lies in those details, since its frequencies remain at the factory 2,491 MHz that AMD drives. This is copied to VRAM, as there are no improvements here beyond 8GB at 14Gbps either.
Therefore, we are dealing with a model that copies the AMD reference specifications and improves it with a heatsink so that it can withstand Boost frequencies longer, achieving better performance. What you will like the most is undoubtedly the price, it falls 21% to the €479.90.
PowerColor HELLHOUND AMD Radeon RX 6600 8GB GDDR6
It is basically the model that competes with its superior sister, since they share everything except two details: dimensions and LED fans. This HELLHOUND is somewhat larger with 220mm x 132mm x 45mm and its heatsink is somewhat larger because the PCB is oversized in width. This also implies that fans go from 9 cm to 10 cm and that the cover and back plate are wider, thereby achieving better cooling.
This card is priced at €479.90being a better option than its sister for the same current cost, which is surprising, but the discount is 2% higher.
Sapphire PULSE AMD Radeon RX 6600 8GB GDDR6
We continue with the RX 6600 and this time it is the turn of a well-loved brand in AMD: Sapphire. And it is that this PULSE follows the aesthetics of the series that we have been seeing for two generations and does so with a very compact card that respects the specifications set by AMD.
In return we have two 9 cm fans glued to the maximum in a cover that is also oversized before an ITX PCB, leaving a really perfect model for compact cases or with little space.
The best news is its price, since it is for €449.89 after falling 25%.
Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 Ti OC Edition 8GB GDDR6X
Here we have one of the most complete models in the series, as it achieves no less than 1815 MHz in Boost, which is no less than 45 MHz more than the NVIDIA Founders Edition model.
The rest of the specifications are identical, but logically not its heatsink and PCB. We find elements of high resistance to the passage of time such as its Axial fans which (three in this case) integrate two directions of rotation, the central one being the one that differs.
It is a fairly thick graphic, mainly because it includes a very high mid plate that includes heat pipes for the VRAM exclusively. We will have two 8-pin connectors for its power, an RGB TUF system customizable by software and of course all the solidity that a range like the TUF provides with military-grade components.
Its price is not the bomb as such, but it falls 11% to reach €969.90.
Zotac Gaming Geforce RTX 3080 AMP HOLO LHR 12GB GDDR6X
Last but not least we have an RTX 3080 GPU signed by Zotac. Specifically, we are talking about the AMP HOLO LHR version, a model that reaches the 1,755MHz in Boost (+45 MHz compared to the NVIDIA option) and that integrates a very high-end heatsink, if not top.
Outside of its Spectra 2.0 lighting system, what we find is no less than 7 heat pipes in an extremely dense high-performance heatsink, perfect for taking advantage of its three new 11-blade fans that will introduce 10% more air through fins.
In addition, their rotation is asynchronous in revolutions, since two can rotate faster than the third. This is used for a very simple reason, to improve cooling where the card needs it, achieving less noise and wear on the fans.
To everyone’s surprise, we are talking about a 19% discount to reach a price of €1,329.90.
