What do you think about buying PowerColor RX 6600 XT Fighter 8GB BULK?

Hello,
I don´t know about that manufacturer is cool or not.
And also the OOB last macOS compatibility.
Is a bit cheaper here than SAPPHIRE NITRO GM or MSI MECH 2X OC. (+10% / *20%)

Anybody heard some bad from Powercolor?
If you think is OK I'll go for that card.

PS
Currently, I have a Gigabyte GTX 1060, 6GB.
and a Ryzen 5900x. And I'll use dual boot. mainly Windows probably.

I've had a few power color cards, two different 5700XTs and both were rock solid until I sold them. Then I also had a small form factor single fan 5600XT that died but they replaced under warranty within a couple of weeks. I'd say you'd be fine. Don't forget you'll need the "agdpmod=pikera" boot argument if you go that route.

Thanks @Leesureone for your reply.
I just get the card.
Btw, I have seen casually on YT that the pikera flag not was required any more, maybe?

.

PS
Do you have in mind any good guide advice to follow these days?
I have a 5900x like your signature. Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2. and now the new RX 6600 XT

(I have an aux macOS too and my last installation was with openCore and an H110/i5 6500 with Big Sur.)

I have not read or seen anything regarding boot arguments and the RX 6600 XT. I found one link here to a starting point for your motherboard. You will at a minimum need to map the USB ports to get sleep/ wake working. There is another site some of the moderators here visit that deals with AMD boards, might check that out.
