The two fans on the Pulse each comes loaded with nine of the shallow, swooping blades, compared to twelve on the Nitro. The new hybrid fan blades merge characteristics from both axial and blower-style fans, improving both airflow and air pressure compared to yesteryear’s axial fans, while keeping noise levels low. A standard-sized heatsink supports the GPU and other vital components, working in conjunction with Sapphire’s “hybrid fan design” that we first witnessed in the Nitro+ Radeon RX 6800 XT. While it’s not loaded down with heavy metal, the Pulse doesn’t skimp on the cooling front either. An aluminum backplate atop the graphics card keeps things looking nice and clean, while the black plastic shroud includes some light texturing that helps it look more attractive. Don’t mistake plainness for ugliness, however, as the simple aesthetic should fit very well in most gaming PCs. The Pulse RX 6600 XT sticks to a plain, black design with some red Pulse and Radeon branding, but nary an RGB LED, exchangeable fan, or dual-BIOS switch in sight. Sapphire left all the fancy extra features to the Nitro+ as well. Plus, Sapphire needed to leave its step-up $450 Nitro+ offering some room to work. That’s a modest increase, and behind the 2,428MHz we saw in the pricier 6600 XT models, but as you’ll see in our benchmarks, these all deliver essentially identical performance in their stock configurations. Sapphire bumped the typical Game Clock up to 2,382MHz from the default 2,359MHz. In comparison, the Pulse doesn’t change up too much aside from one key spec: Clock speeds. They’re apt comparisons, because while the new card might carry the 5600 XT’s lineage, it also comes in at the 5700 XT’s higher price tag. (Sapphire’s Trixx Boost tech makes that less true for the Pulse, at least for today.)įor this review, we’ll just plop a chart below that shows how the Radeon RX 6600 XT’s key specifications stack up against last generation’s $279 Radeon RX 5600 XT and $400 Radeon RX 5700 XT.
Sapphire trixx 5.0.0 1080p#
AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture helps the Radeon RX 6600 XT sip power and hit sky-high clock speeds, but technical details about how this GPU’s Infinity Cache was implemented-and paired with a tiny memory bus-means it is better suited for ultra-fast 1080p gaming than stepping up to 1440p. It’s worth the time if you’re a chip nerd. Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 6600 XT specs, features, and designīe sure to check out our original Radeon RX 6600 XT review for a deeper discussion around this GPU’s setup. So yes, the hardware is only part of the story for the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 6600 XT.
