An underpowered video card can even cause reprojecting and artifacting for a substandard playing experience that may even lead to VR sickness.

We want to see if the RX 6600 XT is worthy of AMD’s claim of VR premium and how it compares with the RTX 3060 which is adequate as an entry level mainstream card to power a Valve Index. For this VR showdown, we will use the Valve Index and 10 VR games to compare the performance of the RX 6600 XT with the RTX 3060. We have found the Red Devil RX 6600 XT to be a bit faster than than the RTX 3060 in rasterized pancake games but outclassed by the Ti. The RX 6600 XT is priced starting at $379 while the factory overclocked Red Devil is priced higher than the $3 Ti Founders Edition, yet AMD has positioned its newest mainstream video card against the entry level $3.
