Compare RightNow GPU Database specifications and median 3DMark Time Spy Graphics scores. The quick answer below is intentionally separated from game-specific FPS and live pricing.

Ampere · 12 GB GDDR6 / 8 GB GDDR6

RDNA 2.0 · 8 GB GDDR6
QUICK ANSWER
RTX 3060 has a median Graphics score of 8,755 versus 8,093 for RX 6600, a lead of about 8% in this synthetic workload.
3DMARK TIME SPY
Median Graphics scores across submitted 3DMark Time Spy results; higher is better.
Time Spy is a synthetic DirectX 12 workload, not an FPS guarantee. Submitted results can include different board models, drivers, cooling, overclocks, and laptop power limits. Models are desktop GPUs unless explicitly labeled Laptop.

HOW TO CHOOSE
A useful choice depends on performance, memory, power, price, and the games or workloads you actually use.
RTX 3060 has a median Graphics score of 8,755 versus 8,093 for RX 6600, a lead of about 8% in this synthetic workload. Treat a result within roughly three percent as effectively close in this synthetic workload.
RTX 3060 lists 12 GB GDDR6 / 8 GB GDDR6 and 170 W graphics power; RX 6600 lists 8 GB GDDR6 and 132 W. Board-partner models can use different coolers, limits, and connectors.
This comparison does not invent FPS or value claims. Check independent testing for your games and resolution, then compare the current prices of the exact cards available to you.
