We've seen the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT beat the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 in gaming performance, and now it looks like this mid-range GPU could also be a particularly efficient cryptocurrency mining card

According to the AMD subreddit, the Radeon RX 6600 XT is technically not the fastest to mine crypto coins, but it can run effectively at much lower voltages than other GPUs If true, this per-watt performance is likely to make it popular with those looking to go even more minor than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080

Of course, the Radeon RX 6600 XT, as one of the ostensibly "affordable" graphics cards of the current generation, has already reached demand levels that exceed supply, as is the case with almost all of AMD and Nvidia's GPUs, from low-end to 4K capable due to manufacturing shortages, Not enough units are being supplied

Still, if the Radeon RX 6600 XT offers outstanding mining efficiency, it could become the most in-demand card Purchasing large quantities of Radeon RX 6600 XT at inflated prices may eventually make up the difference due to its lower running costs (compared to cards with higher watt consumption)

The Chinese government's crackdown on mining has reduced interest in mining in certain parts of the world, and used mining GPUs are now for sale, but they are generally still profitable enough that it is more difficult to buy cards for gaming purposes

However, difficulty is not impossible, and there should still be a chance to find a Radeon RX 6600 XT in stock You'll just have to rely on luck and come across a restock before the miners, duffers, and retailer bots snatch it all up
