With RSR, yes a 6600 would be fine. I think it might be worth to stump up the extra for the 6600 XT though if you can to give you a little extra muscle.I mean, I could. We're taking me into a price bracket I'd prefer not to spend for casual, occasional "burned out from work and want to just to press buttons for a bit" gaming. But if I need to in order to game on this monitor rather than juggle monitors, it's doable. I'd consider just getting a console but sometimes I like games like Dominions and Total War: Warhammer. I don't think strategy is really a thing on XBox.
I came here after watching this video because I knew there'd be a thread on this here. It honestly seems almost too good to be true but the benchmarks and quality are very impressive:
So, you would say with this I could use my 5K2K monitor for medium graphics gaming on a 6600XT or - slightly less pushing my chances - a 6700XT? Is that a fair summation?
I have no idea what that is!
Ahhh! Mixed messages.
So okay, if I take the non-XT 6600 out of the equation, RSR could let me game at 5K2K. That's mind-blowing. It's so far ahead of what was previously possible. I figured even with 7700XT (assuming there is one) it probably wouldn't really be viable. I can make the jump to 6600XT though it's a £100more. 6700XT is almost double what I had in mind, though.
My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 6600 Pulse Gaming 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-39R-SP) = £359.99
- 1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 6600 XT Nitro+ RGB Gaming 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-39Q-SP) = £449.99
- 1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT Nitro Gaming OC 12GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-39L-SP) = £699.94
Total: £1,521.02 (includes delivery: £11.10)

I'd go with the Powercolour 6600XT Fighter. OcuKs prices are competitive for this model too.Ahhh! Mixed messages.

Some lovely gentleman wrote a KB article on RSR, so you may want to have a look at that too before you make a purchase just to check compatibility. Configure Radeon™ Super Resolution with AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition | AMD
ANd to bring things back on topic, you'll be able use FSR 2.0 soon.

Oh fine wine, you mean, drivers are **** to start with but will get better eventually ?

The AMD driver for the 6900 has come a long way already. My scores are quite conservative but my first TimeSpy score was 17764 (GPU 19709) when I got it and not tested it for a while but my last one was 19901 (GPU 22301) this year so its had big gains already.
Like LTMatt mentioned (I think) I prefer native without any of these fancy upscaling malarkeys but if FSR 2.0 brings it closer than its a nice freebie for your GPU.

Its more for the tank when the games come out that are really demanding you can use it to maintain a high fps but visually be similar. This means you should not have to ditch the 6900 just because the 7000 series hits. It will also buy you some time if you upgrade the display, I know it would have been handy when I had my vega and then got a 4k monitor.

Gamers Nexus video.
This is not fsr 2.0

Video March 20'th "And now its time to look at how they compare"
Literally days before AMD launch their FSR replacement "Now is the time to look at FSR" ?
What is he smoking?
Caporegime
Yep that should be posted in the RSR thread I created.
He's comparing RSR to FSR which is fine, but RSR is not really designed to be used if the game natively supports FSR since that would provide better results by not affecting the UI.

It does a good job of explaining what its doing tbf. If you read the video description it says:
As @humbug noticed above, GN seems to have taken an age to cover it, so I am reading this as they needed to get it out because the new implementation is now here (and it was in there things to publish queue).

Early preview
My question is All the games right now with FSR 1.0 can these be easy to upgrade to FSR 2.0
If so that is a massive line up of games about to get a nice image quality upgrade.

Nice video.
Not 100% certain but would say as long as the game already has taa implemented then it should be fairly straight forward, if it doesn't have taa then it might require a bit more work.

FSR2 looking blurry compared to dlss.
