No, the i5-12400F isn't too much for the RX 6600. Consider going with the i5-12100F instead.

I've been considering an upgrade for some time since my 6600 is limited by its PCIe Gen 3 connection while my PCIE GEN 3 setup only offers half the bandwidth of an x16 slot. I'm curious about the best CPU choice to address this issue. (No worries if this sounds confusing)
The RX 6600 handles Gen 3 x8 without issues, so I wouldn't upgrade due to that. This isn't an RX 6500 XT where it becomes a problem. If you're using a third-gen i3, think about upgrading, but unless your CPU is very basic, you should be okay. Since we're near the launch of next-gen chips, unless you urgently need a replacement soon (like if your main system fails), hold off until the next generation drops before purchasing. You'll either get a great upgrade at the same price or save a lot by buying older hardware now.
We don't have information about your current processor. Receiving reduced bandwidth doesn't necessarily indicate a drop in overall performance, as the available bandwidth on this card may not be significant.
You're experiencing significant stuttering with your 10100F and BF 2042, especially in titles like Watchdogs 2, while your older 1650 Super works fine. This suggests the issue might be related to driver compatibility or system settings rather than hardware limitations.
The issue might connect to drivers or another kind of instability. Have you deleted your previous Nvidia drivers?
