AMD RX 6600 vs AMD RX 6600 XT for local LLMs
0 reports on the AMD RX 6600 and 2 on the AMD RX 6600 XT
Which is faster for local LLMs?
Nobody has reported the same model at the same quant on both cards yet, so there's no measured head-to-head. Memory bandwidth, which caps how fast a card can write, is 14% higher on the AMD RX 6600 XT (224 GB/s on the AMD RX 6600, 256 on the AMD RX 6600 XT).
