GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a 7 nm process from TSMC, featuring 11,060 million transistors on a 237 mm² die. Its memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 1626 MHz, with a game clock of 2044 MHz and a boost clock of 2491 MHz. These clocks, combined with 1792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, produce a pixel rate of 159.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 279.0 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 8.928 TFLOPS.

In Road 96, the measured FPS scales directly with resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 155.3 (Low) to 71.9 (Ultra). At 2560x1440, it ranges from 99.1 to 47.9. At 3840x2160, it ranges from 50.1 to 23. This pattern indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions and quality settings, with the 4K Ultra average of 23 fps being the lowest measured. The 8 GB VRAM and 224 GB/s bandwidth are the memory specifications that support these frame rates.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Radeon 890M (0% delta), AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (-0.2% delta), AMD Radeon RX 6700M (0.2% delta), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (0.5% delta). This means the RX 6600 is essentially tied with the 890M, slightly lower than the RX 580 2048SP, and slightly higher than the RX 6700M and RTX 3060 Ti. The GPU's launch MSRP is 329 USD.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank in Road 96 is 1385 out of 1684 tested combinations. This places it in the lower 18% of the database, as it outperforms only 299 other combos. The CPU and GPU individually have respectable percentiles—77th for the CPU and 69th for the GPU—yet the combined rank is low. This suggests that the game's performance is not solely determined by these components' average benchmark scores, but may be influenced by other factors such as driver optimization or specific game engine requirements. The CPU's nearest rivals are within 1.3% of its average score, and the GPU's nearest rivals are within 0.5%, indicating that both components are closely matched to their peers. Despite this, the combo rank remains low, which may reflect the game's particular sensitivity to certain hardware characteristics.

| 3840x2160 | Low | 50.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 39.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 23 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 57.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 99.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 72.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 47.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 90.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 155.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 114.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 71.9 |

The data shows a consistent scaling: at each resolution, Low settings yield the highest average FPS, followed by Medium, High, and Ultra. The largest drop occurs from Low to Ultra at 4K, where the average falls from 50.1 to 23 fps.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Alder Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The L3 cache is 18 MB shared. Its benchmark scores include a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16518 and single-core of 2332, a Geekbench multicore of 9138 and single-core of 2221, and a 3DMark 16-thread score of 5895. The CPU's average benchmark score is 19221, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i7-8700K (0.1% higher), Intel Core i5-1335U (0.3% higher), AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS (0.7% lower), and AMD EPYC 7773X (1.3% lower). The CPU's launch MSRP is $174.

In Road 96, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU. At 1920x1080 Low, the average FPS is 155.3, which is the highest in the dataset, indicating that the CPU is capable of driving the GPU to that level. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average drops to 23 fps, which is clearly GPU-limited. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, along with its boost clock of 4.40 GHz, provide sufficient single-thread and multi-thread performance for the game's demands, as evidenced by the high frame rates at lower resolutions.
