Metro Exodus Benchmarks (With And Without Ray Tracing)
Metro Exodus is based on author Dmitry Glukhovsky's series of Metro novels that started with Metro 2033 back in 2005. The first installment in the series was Metro 2033, which was then followed by Metro Last Light (and later, Last Light Redux). Like other games in the series, Metro Exodus follows a post-apocalyptic story line that takes place in the former Russian Federation. The game features advanced graphics and visuals and also supports NVIDIA’s RTX and DLSS technologies.

When using the RTX preset (which enables DXR ray tracing effects) in this game, the XFX Radeon RX 6600 XT MERC 308 takes an obvious performance hit and drops down behind the Red Devil and RTX 3060 at both resolutions. Also note that the GeForces would perform even better here with DLSS enabled. This game supports NVIDIA's AI-powered resolution scaling technology.
Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Benchmarks
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker is due launch at the end of November, for a variety of platforms. The free benchmark utility that is available checks is approximately a 2.21GB download. It will test your PC's ability to run the game at various settings, and presents a final result with an overall rating upon its conclusion. We tested Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker at 1080p and 1440p, with maximum image quality settings.

The XFX Radeon RX 6600 XT MERC 308 is tightly grouped with all of the mainstream GPUs in the new Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker benchmark. Though it technically drops in behind the Red Devil, the deltas here are quite small.
Gears 5 Benchmarks
The Coalition's newest Gears title, Gears 5, brings with it a whole host of new graphical effects and HDR lighting to both the console and PC alike, thanks to the latest iteration of Epic's Unreal Engine 4. We tested the game at a couple of resolutions, with its Ultra quality preset here.

The XFX Radeon RX 6600 XT MERC 308 once again finished smack dab right in the middle of the pack in Gears 5 at both resolutions, right in-line with the PowerColor 6600 XT.
Far Cry New Dawn Benchmarks
Next up, we’ve got some benchmark scores from Far Cry New Dawn, the latest installment in the storied franchise. Like its predecessors, Far Cry New Dawn is a fast-action shooter set in an open world environment with lush visuals and high graphics fidelity. The game takes place in a fictional county in Montana, where a cult has taken over control of the area. We tested all of the graphics cards here at multiple resolutions using Ultra Quality settings to see how they handled this recently-released AAA title.

We had another nip-and-tuck battle in FarCry New Dawn, with the XFX Radeon RX 6600 XT MERC 308 and Red Devil trading victories depending on the resolution. The Red Devil took the lead at 1080p, but the MERC 308 pulled ahead at 1440p.
F1 2021 Benchmarks (With Ray Tracing)
F1 2021 is Codemaster’s latest Formula One racing simulation, and like previous version of the game, it sports impressive visuals. This latest addition to the franchise supports DirectX11 or DirectX 12, and it incorporates support for a number of AMD's FidelityFX and NVIDIA technologies (like DLSS), though we didn't enable any of them to keep the playing field level. We tested the game with its Ultra High graphics preset with Ray Tracing and TAA enabled at a couple of resolutions to see what the graphics cards could do.
