What does this comparison mean?
The RX 6600 8GB leads the original GTX 1060 6GB and adds 2GB. This is an RDNA 2 replacement for the original Pascal 6GB configuration; neither the 3GB GTX 1060 nor a later memory refresh should inherit this exact result.
GTX 1060 6GB (GDDR5, 8 Gbps) has 6GB and RX 6600 8GB has 8GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
GTX 1060 6GB (GDDR5, 8 Gbps)
The original GTX 1060 6GB launched in July 2016 with Pascal architecture and GDDR5 memory. This entry is the 8 Gbps configuration, rather than the later memory refresh or the separately configured 3GB GPU.
RX 6600 8GB
The RX 6600 is an RDNA 2 desktop GPU with 8GB of GDDR6, introduced in October 2021.
Release and feature sources: GTX 1060 6GB (GDDR5, 8 Gbps) source · RX 6600 8GB source.
How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. GTX 1060 6GB (GDDR5, 8 Gbps) uses the 145-card GeForce GTX 1060 6GB family total; GPUsed has not split it by this exact variant. Full benchmark method.
