Navi 22 has a maximum configuration of 40 CUs, 12GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit memory bus, and 96MB of Infinity Cache.

AMD's main focus here was to optimize RDNA, working in new features like hardware-accelerated ray tracing and boosting power efficiency. a similarly configured test system with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 8GB and 12GB graphics cards (Driver 528. Engineered to deliver an incredible 1080p gaming experience, the AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 XT powers the next generation of gaming with vivid visuals and elevated experiences. And it's not as if certain workloads, which despite everything many of these will no doubt find themselves partaking in, is really all that demanding of VRAM or PCIe bandwidth at all. Hopefully, that means it will have even more RX 6600 XT cards—it should, since Navi 23 should be a smaller chip that costs less to produce.

The 'game clock' of the latest card, essentially the expected clock speed under gaming loads, is a heady, and strangely specific 2,359MHz. With support for DirectX Raytracing (DXR), Variable Rate Shading (VRS), and AMD FidelityFX 1, the AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture powers the next generation of gaming visuals at any resolution, providing a captivating gaming experience.This will give your CPU direct access to your GPU's memory, which should improve latency, and thus gaming performance.
