AMD Radeon RX 6600 — Benchmarks & Specs

8 GB VRAM$329 MSRP2021

Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 6600 generates 50.6 tokens/sec on llama2:7b (q4_0) under llama.cpp in a single cited run, per knightli.com; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median. Its 8 GB of VRAM holds up to Gemma 2 9B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (8 of 23 models fit).

Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 6600?

At 1440p Ultra, the Radeon RX 6600 averages 25 fps in Tom's Hardware GPU Hierarchy rasterization suite (geomean), per Tom's Hardware. For local LLM inference it generates 50.6 tokens/sec running llama2:7b at q4_0 under llama.cpp, per knightli.com. In 3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score it scores 23,366 points, per Notebookcheck. It has 8 GB of VRAM, and the llama2:7b run above (7B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card. Larger models have no sourced run on file.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
