GPU / architecture / launchNavi 23 XT / RDNA 2; 2021.
Core & memory32 compute units and 2,048 stream processors; 8 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus; 2,359 MHz game clock and up to 2,589 MHz boost (reference targets).
Host interface & powerPCI Express 4.0 x8 electrical link in an x16-length connector; reference-class board power is 160 W and typically one 8-pin connector. 160 W total board-power reference; follow the exact board maker’s PSU and connector guidance.
Typical reference outputsDisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1 class support; port count and exact panel are board-specific.
Board dimensionsDimensions are board-specific. A documented Sapphire PULSE RX 6600 XT 8 GB board measures 235 × 105 × 43 mm (L × H × T); other partner cards differ. Verify the exact manufacturer model/revision before installation.

Compatibility, service & archival notes

Because it is wired for PCIe 4.0 x8, a PCIe 3.0 host may reduce link bandwidth; confirm motherboard slot wiring and firmware. The card requires a supported UEFI/driver environment and a suitable 8-pin supply lead. Match display outputs to monitor inputs and the partner card’s actual panel.

  • Check the exact slot keying/signaling, board dimensions, auxiliary-power pinout, PSU guidance, airflow and display outputs for the specimen; connector appearance alone does not establish compatibility.
  • Install a driver supporting the recorded device ID and target OS. Preserve the original driver and firmware versions before making changes.
  • Record board partner, PCB and cooler revision, device/subsystem IDs, BIOS, adapter set and physical condition. Do not power a card with damage, corrosion, obstructed cooling or suspected shorts.
