Performance
GPU clock speed
1626 MHz
The clock speed of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
GPU turbo
2491 MHz
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
pixel rate
159.4 GPixel/s
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
floating-point performance
8.93 TFLOPS
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
texture rate
279 GTexels/s
The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
GPU memory speed
1750 MHz
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
shading units
1792
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.
TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.
The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.
Memory
effective memory speed
14000 MHz
The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
maximum memory bandwidth
224 GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
VRAM
8GB
VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
GDDR version
GDDR6
Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
memory bus width
128-bit
A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.
Supports ECC memory
✔ASRock Radeon RX 6600 Challenger D
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
Features
DirectX version
DirectX 12 Ultimate
DirectX is used in video games, with newer versions supporting better graphics and features. The latest version is DirectX 12 Ultimate, which includes support for ray tracing, mesh shaders, and variable rate shading (VRS).
OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
Supports multi-display technology
✔ASRock Radeon RX 6600 Challenger D
The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.
load GPU temperature
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A lower load temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.
supports ray tracing
✔ASRock Radeon RX 6600 Challenger D
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
Supports 3D
✔ASRock Radeon RX 6600 Challenger D
Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).
supports DLSS
✖ASRock Radeon RX 6600 Challenger D
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technology powered by AI. It allows the graphics card to render games at a lower resolution and upscale them to a higher resolution with near-native visual quality and increased performance. DLSS is only available on select games.
AMD's Smart Access Memory (SAM) and Intel's Resizable BAR are two technologies that allow the CPU to have faster access to the graphics card, which can give a performance boost. It requires a compatible motherboard, graphics card, and CPU.
Ports
has an HDMI output
✔ASRock Radeon RX 6600 Challenger D
You can output high definition video and audio to a display. This could be an HDMI port, Mini HDMI port, or a USB-C port that supports HDMI.
More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.
HDMI version
HDMI 2.1
Newer versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, which allows for higher resolutions and frame rates.
Allows you to connect to a display using DisplayPort.
With more USB-C ports, you are able to connect more devices/peripherals.
Allows you to connect to a display using DVI.
Allows you to connect to a display using mini-DisplayPort.
General info
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
number of transistors
11060 million
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
warranty period
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.
Has air-water cooling
✖ASRock Radeon RX 6600 Challenger D
The graphics card uses a combination of water and air to reduce the temperature of the card. This allows it to be overclocked more, increasing performance.
width
269 mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
height
132 mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
Miscellaneous
DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

Excellent Video Card at a Low Cost

This video card has excellent performance, ideal for those who want to use it in full HD. It can handle all games, with an average of 60 to 200 fps, depending on the configuration and resolution used in the games. I usually run my online games on LOW settings to achieve more competitive performance, but it can be configured for use on HIGH settings or more, knowing that you will get a wonderful visual but with loss of FPS when playing online. I'm using it with BF 2042, COD, BF1, BF4, DEAD SPACE, etc., and as we know, some games might be poorly optimized, so no configuration can help, haha. Apart from that, I really liked the video card; it's quiet, has low power consumption, and is a mighty card, even with a 128-bit bandwidth. It can compete with the 3060.

Uma placa barata para o que ela oferece, consigo jogar quaisquer jogos da atualidade em qualidade alta variando de 30-50 fps com raytracing ligado e sem ele, variando de 60 até 200 fps , apesar de não ser a placa mais silenciosa do mercado ela não acaba com seu conforto dentro de um quarto pequeno. Ótima placa para design gráfico, photoshop , illustrator, blender, nenhum destes travou em momento algum mesmo com trabalhos em altas resoluções. Se procura uma placa para jogar em FullHD com qualidade de intermediaria e preço de placa de entrada, a ASRock Radeon RX 6600 Challenger é ideal.
