Gaming PC JEAN BART
🖥️ Updated System Performance (With RX 6600 XT)
Component | Assessment |
---|---|
CPU: Ryzen 5 5500 | Great match for RX 6600 XT. No major bottlenecks in 1080p gaming. |
GPU: RX 6600 XT 8GB (used) | A big step up from RTX 3050 — up to 40–50% faster in some games. Excellent for 1080p Ultra / 1440p High. |
RAM: 16GB 3200MHz | Perfect for gaming and most productivity tasks. |
SSD: 250GB NVMe | Still small — limits game installs. |
PSU: Raidmax XTB 550W | 🔴 Risky, especially with a GPU like the RX 6600 XT. Not reliable for long-term use. |
Motherboard: Enigma B450M PRO | 2 RAM slots only, likely low VRM quality, and limited BIOS support. |
Cooling: Antec A30 PRO | Entry-level, but fine for the Ryzen 5 5500 unless overclocking. |
🎮 Gaming Performance (With RX 6600 XT + Ryzen 5 5500)
🔹 1080p Gaming — Ultra Settings:
Game | FPS (Estimates) |
---|---|
CS:GO / Valorant / Fortnite | 200+ FPS |
GTA V | 100+ FPS |
RDR2 | 75–90 FPS |
Cyberpunk 2077 | 60–70 FPS |
Call of Duty Warzone | 100+ FPS |
Horizon Zero Dawn | 90+ FPS |
Elden Ring | 60+ FPS (locked) |
💡 At 1080p, the RX 6600 XT performs close to an RTX 3060, but more power-efficient and better value for the money.
