When the farce of out-of-stock and price increase gradually calmed down, the entire graphics card market gradually returned to a normal pace. Next, NVIDIA and AMD will start a new round of graphics card updates. If nothing unexpected happens, the first one to appear should be NVIDIA's RTX 40 series.
Judging from the current information leaked by all parties, the performance performance of the RTX 40 series products is indeed worth our expectations. Of course, although the new graphics card is good, it is not suitable for all players to purchase. For example, it is the beginning of the autumn school season, and it is the time when students buy new computers for themselves for a short time, and the new graphics card cannot catch up.
has been reported that although NVIDIA may be released at the GTC conference on September 20th, the new generation of RTX 40 series graphics card , , but for the sake of cleaning up inventory, NVIDIA is considering postponing the launch date to November , That is after Halloween. And even if the RTX 40 is on the market, it will be distributed from flagships and high-end to mid-range according to convention. When new products come out in the thousand-yuan market, it will still have to wait a long time. Perhaps this will happen in the middle or end of next year. It's right. Not to mention the RX 7000 series that has not yet been reported.
In other words, if you want to buy a graphics card priced at a thousand yuan for a relatively long time, the current models on sale should definitely be considered. Do you think that's not simple. If you have enough budget, buy the RTX 3050, and if you have a tight budget, buy the RX 6500 XT. Actually, I think these two products are not the best choices at the moment. It is obviously better to choose GTX 1650S and RX 6600.
cost-effectiveness depends on RX 6600
In this wave of graphics card price reduction in 2022, the price reduction of A card is significantly greater, and many products have long fallen below the official guide price. For example, the RX 6600, which has a guide price of 2,499 yuan, is generally selling at a price of between 1,799 yuan and 1,899 yuan, and is even more expensive than the RTX 3050, and sells slightly lower. In terms of performance performance of
, the RX 6600 is positioned to smoothly run next-generation 3A masterpieces and high frame rate e-sports games with 1080P resolution and high picture quality. Compared with the RTX 3060, the RX 6600 has not lagged much behind in performance. Even when facing 2K resolution games, as long as the picture quality is appropriately reduced, it will still be powerful. If AMD's black technologies FSR and RSR are enabled, the game performance can be further improved.
Comprehensive price and performance, RX 6600 is the first choice graphics card at the current price of around 1,800 yuan.
Gigabyte Falcon RX 6600 EAGLE 8G
Gigabyte Falcon RX 6600 EAGLE 8G is one of the few products in the same category that uses a 3-fan cooling system. Its stronger cooling capacity is one of its biggest selling points.

The graphics card has a more complete release of performance and a longer service life.
Overall, this Gigabyte Falcon RX 6600 EAGLE 8G is more outstanding in the same product, but the price is relatively affordable, and the overall cost-effectiveness is good.
GTX 1660S: A veteran that cannot be ignored
If your budget is around 1,500 yuan, is it the only way to choose RX 6500 XT? Brother Che thinks that's not the case. In fact, there is another product that cannot be ignored at this price, which is the GTX 1660S.
Don’t think that this graphics card released at the end of 2019 is now outdated. Compared with the RTX 3050, the performance of the GTX 1660S is just slightly lower than that of the opponent. If you don’t consider the ray tracing performance, it will be no problem to play 1080P games. Compared with the RX 6500 XT, the GTX 1660S has a real 6GB video memory, and the rasterized gaming performance is much stronger.
At the beginning of the year, the price of GTX 1660S was still around 3,000 yuan, and now it has fallen back to 1,600 yuan, basically returning to the state when the price was not raised in 2020. Therefore, for mid-range users who focus on cost-effectiveness, the GTX 1660S is still an affordable choice.

This Asus TUF-GeForce GTX 1660S-O6G-GAMING uses the iconic full automation process technology of the product. The product is not only more reliable, but also in the production process. It's also more environmentally friendly. product uses DIRECTCU II radiator . The design of heat pipe is directly contacted with GPU. The design of heat conduction efficiency is higher. We know that after graphics card is used for a long time, the accumulation of dust will affect the performance and core life of the fan. The two fans of Asus TUF-GeForce GTX 1660S-O6G-GAMING have passed the IP5X dustproof certification, and has better protection against dust.
