Can I run Apex Legends with a Radeon RX 6600?
High in Apex Legends is a different class of card: that tier starts at index 18 and the Radeon RX 6600 reads 10, 44% short, so recommended is where this one belongs.
The Radeon RX 6600 arrived 2 years after Apex Legends shipped, so the game was never designed with it in mind: 16 of the 47 cards we track stop at the same point in Apex Legends. It sits 39 of 47 on our index.
Runs well
Clears the recommended tier, which is the target the publisher designs against.

Tier ladder
The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 10 against the 18 that Apex Legends asks for at the high tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.
That readout is the best this card can do in Apex Legends: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.
The same card with three different processors
In Apex Legends the processor beside a Radeon RX 6600 changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.
| Processor | Index | Verdict | Bottleneck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 1600 | 30 | Will not run | processor |
| Ryzen 9 5900X | 70 | Runs well | graphics card |
| Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 95 | Runs well | graphics card |
Cheapest way up one tier
graphics card: Arc A750
The Radeon RX 6600 sits at index 10 and the high tier starts at 18.
That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the high tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".
