what's going on everyone Rabid here you know what
to do smash that subscribe button thumbs up button as well as bell notification let's get into this
the rx 6600 non-xt has been released the other day so we're gonna look at some hash rates uh roi
on this card and see if it's actually worth it depending on what you're mining and how you're
mining it everyone's view on the situation will be different so i'm just gonna give you my take
on it you guys have been asking me to do a video in emails of all things so i figured i'd just do
it i do not have one myself but other people have tested this card links will be in the description
for anything used here uh first sources i'm going to be using dizzy mining he always gets cards he's
first in line so if you're looking for the fastest updates on a hash rate for ethereum check out
dizzy mining again link in the description as well as chump change who did a video on that earlier
today as well he was testing out a rig and he also had a watt meter hooked up so we're going to be
looking at that as well and again if you want to check out all those straight videos for yourself
a link to each specific video and their channel will be in the description below first up here
we do have courtesy of dizzy mining who always gets gpus like right on release so he'll have a
hashrate video day of release no matter what so if you don't know about his channel be sure to check
it out looks like he is getting 28.97 mega hash in windows here with an afterburner oc of 1900
on the mem and he's doing a 1305 core so i think he's using the voltage design or something here
in order to do that because obviously he has a way down below in the minuses and it's not saying
minuses a lot of people say use the amd software for this uh you can and you can't depending
how you're running your system if you're using cpu mining as well or something you're operating
through ryzenmaster the amd gpu software conflicts with ryzenmaster so if they don't like to play
with each other you end up with system crashes and all sorts of other things so they don't like to
play well together so depending what you are doing yes the amd software is okay for windows by itself
but not if you're mixing with other amd software for some reason they're just glitchy and they
don't like to play with each other i don't know if it's two different software departments that
don't get along and they're always fighting but that's almost the way it seems so here we are
uh windows 28.97 mega hash and it looks like the power draw here in the software is saying about
55 so that's not too bad we do know that software power lies a bit but it seems with these newer
gpus it is a lot closer than what it used to be okay guys next up we do have mr chump change
xd here and it looks like he him in hive os is getting 28.91 mega hash across the board on the
majority of the cards here and then 28.89 on the bottom it doesn't really matter 28.9 doesn't look
like a nice average here but as for the watt meter it's doing 309.5 watts total system with all five
of these cards so that is pretty insane i kind of broke down the numbers here uh looking at 309.5
watts that is 61.9 watts per gpu so that's divided by five now there's still a little bit taken off
the system here i didn't calculate that into it based my numbers off that number so we're looking
at 61.9 watts it could be down depending on the system of possibly 10 to 20 watts even less than
that it's hard to say because then that would be lower than the software numbers but we have no
idea what's going on here uh so that works out to be a .46 mega hash per watt per card so that
is extremely efficient that is better than a 30 60 ti that's pretty insane here but looking at
the price of these cards we're looking at 589 usd for one of these and this is the 6600 mac
in canada listed at memory express and this is like the bottom grade of the cards now your aim
i recommend xfx uh you know your sapphires are the top of line cards pulse and nitros and they
all have dual bios switches when it comes down to it i recommend dual bios switches that way you
can play around possibly we could uh flash the xt bios onto the 6600 like we did with the 5700
who knows but i wouldn't play around with that unless you actually do have that switch
so highly recommend it to buy the version that does have the dual bios switch that way you
can do a lot more tweaking and playing around and not have to worry about breaking it too
bad because it's very easy to fix i threw these numbers into ethereum just to check out
what kind of profitabilities we are looking like and it is looking like dollar 99 after power these
things don't use that much power at all 214 before 1.99 after so quick two dollars i have to swap
that over to canadian so i can see what that is so i can look at my roi that is two dollars and
47 cents per canadian dollar so two dollars and 47 cents uh divided by 589 that gives us an roi
of about 238 days so about two-thirds of a year that's not too bad but think about it six months
from now you are looking at ethereum 2.0 possibly unless it gets extended again and even longer and
that is only like 160 some days so you may not roi this card in time for ethereum 2.0 but you can
mine other coins check out that chump change video he does some ergo hash rates he does some
ravencoin hash rates so you can kind of see the performance across those other coins as well but
what is this card really it is most likely in my mind it is an overpriced rx 580 that is a lot more
efficient so it uses about half the power of an rx 580 but it gets about the same amount of hashtag
this is actually a little bit less than a 580 but again half the power you can find the rx
580 for like the same amount of hash rates for a lot cheaper than this newer card but you know
you may get higher resale value down the road other things that does come with owning a
newer version of a card then a lot older one now is it worth it i guess it would depend on
availability they're probably all sold out right across the board right now because everywhere
i look in canada they're gone either we just didn't hardly get any in we don't usually get too
much stuff in canada so maybe you guys in the usa you probably do have lots of stock or something
but most likely everything is out of stock i'm seeing amazon already has them listed for like
a thousand dollars but here we are at best buy a 30-60 ti so it is uh slightly less efficient
not by much they're pretty close i think 0.42 is the efficiency hash to what ratio on a 30 60
ti but we're pulling 62 mega hash here at about 130 to 136 watts but we're actually a little bit
cheaper if you can get this out of best buy drop and again the founders edition 360 ti 3070 and
3080s are all non-lhr but you can only get them from a best buy and you have to get them at a drop
so that means standing in line so this is what i do this is the only way i get it because these are
still the best bang for your buck and performance but availability is really low amd raised all
their prices i don't know what happened there they market it as being cheaper than nvidia but now
everything is higher msrp standpoint so it's pretty insane what's happening there so let me
know in the comments guys what do you guys think are you going to be getting these 6 600 cards
are you going to be waiting you're going to be standing live for best buy like i
do i don't really think uh the 6600 xt and the 6600 is really worth it in my mind
because it's just an overpriced newer version with more efficiency of an rx 580 card so
again let me know in the comments guys hit that subscribe button thumbs up button like
button i'll catch you on the next one rabid out thank you for watching everyone if you haven't
please comment subscribe and like this video as well as check out one of these other
videos if you have not seen it yet i do try to stream every saturday and sunday
so stay tuned for more future content
