AMD Radeon RX 6600 Reviews Set to Release October 13th

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is expected to launch in October after documents received by VideoCardz reveal that reviews for the card are set to be published on October 13th. The documents reveal that board partners who will be releasing cards for review will need to have informed AMD by September 15th and can begin shipping them to reviewers on September 29th. The AMD Radeon RX 6600 will use the Navi 23 GPU with 4 Compute Units disabled for a total of 28. This will give the card 1792 Stream Processors which will be paired with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory. The documents also show that AMD is not planning to release an RX 6600 reference card so no pricing information was included. We expect that the card will be shortly available after the listed review embargo is lifted on October 13th at 9 AM EST.

8GB RAM in this Class is a joke i quote myself:
A10 Rules: Crysis Remastered 720p, Medium = 30 FPS, but Textures on "Can it Run Crysis" it take more than 8 GB RAM for the IGP

This is the so called budget class, there's no reason to drive up the price even higher for extra VRAM that won't be used in most scenarios

JismLol... AMD proved that memory bus width means nothing when its fired up using infinity cache.

Basicly your bus can be smaller, less consuming and still have the same bandwidth compared to real 128 or 256 bits of busses.
Eh.. Aside from infinity cache on AMD products, the old top end 512 bit bandwidth spec (Not factoring HBM) has shifted to 384 bit over time on competing NVIDIA "flagship" models. Been this way since 700 series.

AMD and NVIDIA have sorta finally positioned 192 bit bus as the 256 bit bus of old. Modern 128 bit isn't as bad as older generation entry cards, but it seems weaker than whats technically plausible from a long term buyer perspective. I think thats the mental some older gamers have when looking at things.

Even without the small 32mb infinity cache, this specific card would have the bandwidth of a 256 bit GTX1070 with GDDR5 (256GB/S). It's a fully capable to drive 1080p as intended.. Bus isn't really the issue, but I found something both of you can agree on:

MSRP's and market pricing. People don't want to pay top dollar for last generation hardware (if they can even buy it), but thats how it is.
