    The R9 380 is PCIe x16 3.0
    The RX 6600...

    ALL the AMD cards...
    List of AMD graphics processing units - Wikipedia


    BUT.... the "version" matters too...
    So, a PCIe x16 v3.0 is the same bandwidth (speed), as a PCIe x8 v4.0

    At that Wikipedia link... the best numbers to go with, IMO, are the pixel and texture fill rates.
    Cause that's what a graphic card does... it fills images with pixels and with textures.
    The rest is all marketing BS.
