XFX Radeon RX 6600 XT Merc 308 Review

Microsoft Flight Simulator

A title that doesn’t just require you to have some beefy hardware to maximise the visuals, but also a fairly empty hard drive to squeeze on one of the largest install sizes on the market, the newest instalment in the famous Flight Simulator series is gorgeous. Without any combat you’ve plenty of time with which to appreciate the satellite based ground imagery as well as the hand-crafted airports. With all the detail settings maximised it’s a stern test of your system. When the patch was launched which slashed the install size, we rejoiced.

We just haven't the time - or indeed the collection of cards - to go back and retest everything on the newest performance patch, so the RX 6600 XT is the only card using the patch. As you can see it primarily brings benefits as you click up through the resolutions, rather than helping out 1080P.
