The AMD RX 6600 and Nvidia RTX 3060 are both mid-range graphics cards released in 2021, both using 7nm process technology. The RX 6600 has 32 compute units, 1792 stream processors, 8GB GDDR6 memory, 2044MHz base frequency, and 2491MHz game frequency. The RTX 3060 has 3584 stream processors, 12GB GDDR6 memory, 1320MHz base frequency, and 1777MHz boost frequency. The main difference between the two is that the RX 6600 does not support ray tracing and DLSS technologies, while the RTX 3060 supports both.
GPU advantages and disadvantages:

AMD RX 6600

Pros: Lower price, lower power consumption, excellent gaming performance at 1080p resolution.

Cons: Weaker ray tracing performance, no support for DLSS technology.

Nvidia RTX 3060

Pros: Stronger ray tracing performance, support for DLSS technology, better gaming performance at 2K resolution.

Cons: More expensive, higher power consumption.
