ASUS Launches Dual Radeon RX 6600 Graphics Card
ASUS today announced the Dual Radeon RX 6600 graphics card, combining the latest ASUS technology with the new AMD GPU to deliver 1080p gaming experiences to the midrange market.
AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics cards bring the power of AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture to the market. With support for cutting-edge DirectX 12 Ultimate technology including accelerated ray tracing, 32 MB of high-performance, AMD Infinity Cache, AMD Smart Access Memory technology and other advanced features, AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics cards includes the latest technology in image quality and performance. The AMD Radeon RX 6600 supports the AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution open-source spatial upscaling solution, designed to increase framerates in select titles while delivering high-resolution gaming experiences.
About ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6600
The ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6600 incorporates the latest graphics card technology from ASUS to power up any DIY builds. The graphics card cools the GPU using a high-surface area heatsink running through a robust fin stack to cool the GPU from the center. Twin fans built with Axial technology efficiently channel airflow through the fins while keep noise levels lower at a given RPM. A zero dB mode further reduces system noise levels by stopping the fans entirely when a system is idling at the desktop.
The fans and heatsink lie within an attractive outer shroud with angular chamfers, contrasting black and silver finishes, and a full-length aluminium backplate decked out with subtle graphics. The card's 2.5-slot design achieves an ideal balance of case compatibility and cooling capacity.
Equipped with Auto-Extreme technology, the ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6600 graphics card is built to perform over long haul operations. Auto-Extreme technology, used in the manufacturing process across the ASUS graphics card lineup, precisely places and cleanly solders surface mount components, resulting in a higher-quality final assembly.

The 170W 3060 Dual I have is 170W and is shorter both front to back and top to bottom.
The 130W 5500XT cards were tiny by comparison; The reference/OEM model was a single-fan short card, as were several of the popular AIB models.
On the other hand, personally I don't mind having a larger heatsink and a dual-fan solution on ANY card, because it just makes them quieter.
EDIT: Just checked and Asus actually has smaller heatsinks on current high-end cards, and even Mini versions of 3060s so, yeah, weird.
The good news is sometimes we get better PCB's and coolers on low TDP cards, making them cool and quiet... and then we get an identical looking higher wattage chip on the same PCB and cooler that overheat and sound like my ex complaining
I'm not complaining, just curious why they made it bigger than an already-overkill cooler. The smaller 3060 Dual model is already a vastly more capably cooler than the single-fan 3060 variants.Yeah, that was why I brought it up. It's not that it's particularly large compared to other things on the market as a whole, but it's large compared to smaller coolers on higher-TDP cards within the Asus Dual lineup.$600.
Big Ooof :\
Better off going TUF or ROG...
DUAL is reserved for when the PCB has TWO GPUs, like the nvidia 690 and the Titan Z are DUAL cards.
IMHO
