The RX 5700 XT it's ostensibly replacing was rated to 1,905MHz at best. Nowadays, it's possible on a stock card and a reference AMD cooler design. Only a few years ago that sort of frequency under any circumstance would've been considered extreme, and would have likely required liquid nitrogen and a dab hand at overclocking to achieve. Officially rated to 2,581MHz, we saw this card hit 2.4GHz in practice, on par with the listed Game Clock. RDNA 2 has made quite a name for itself when it comes to operating clock speeds-the Radeon RX 6900 XT would rather happily hit 2.2GHz mid-game-but the RX 6700 XT pushes the limit that much further. In the RX 6700's case, the 96MB of Infinity Cache is making up ground for a slim 192-bit bus.īut don't be fooled by talk of saving power, the RX 6700 XT uses every last drop of leftover juice to drive up clock speeds and gaming performance.
The Infinity Cache was first introduced with RDNA 2 at the high-end and offered AMD a way to circumvent the need for a wider, more power-hungry memory bus while maintaining memory bandwidth.
There's 96MB of Infinity Cache on the RX 6700 XT, just a 25 percent reduction from the high-end Navi 21 chips. That's greater VRAM capacity than the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070, and is a match for the RTX 3060 12GB. There's 12GB of GDDR6 packed onto this card: an attempt at what we optimistically call 'future-proofing'. Unfortunately, it's difficult to imagine things getting better stock-wise for this launch, as has been the case for everything the past six months.A headline feature of AMD's RDNA 2 lineup has been bigger than thou memory capacities compared with rival GeForce GPUs, and the RX 6700 XT doesn't buck that trend. The 6700 XT will be available as a two-slot, dual-fan reference card directly from AMD and also as partner models from the likes of ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, PowerColor, SAPPHIRE and XFX. Of course, the real concern today would be finding the cards in stock when the 6700 XT goes on sale on March 18. The company also failed to show any alternative to NVIDIA's DLSS technology, which should further distance the 6700 XT from the RTX cards in ray traced applications. Of course, AMD's ray tracing performance is still lacking and AMD was careful not to show any ray tracing benchmarks once again. The RTX 3070 seems like the main rival but will also entice some RTX 3060 Ti buyers to spend extra for the potentially higher rasterization performance.
The $479 pricing puts the 6700 XT in an interesting position. We will have to wait for independent third-party reviews to confirm the performance and also provide further data points. In another, it was shown trading blows with the $3 Ti and the $4. In one chart, the 6700 XT was shown handily beating old cards such as the NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti and RTX 2080 Super. The reference card requires standard 8+6 pins of power and the card has a typical board power of 230W.ĪMD provided some rough approximations of the card's performance during its launch keynote. In terms of connectivity, the 6700 XT has three DisplayPort 1.4 ports with DSC and a single HDMI 2.1. AMD has reduced the Infinity Cache size to 96MB on this model. On the memory side, the 6700 XT has 12GB of GDDR6 of unknown speed with a 192-bit memory interface and up to 384GB/s of bandwidth. Of course, actual game performance will depend on many other factors. This gives it compute performance of 12.41 TFLOPs, which helps it close the gap on paper with the $100 more expensive and relatively lower clocked RX 6800. One of the interesting things about the 6700 XT is the aggressive clock speed the average clock speed under load or 'Game Frequency' as AMD likes to call it is a rather high 2424MHz. This GPU has 40 compute units, 64 ROPs, 160 texture units, and 2560 stream processors. The 6700 XT has a new, smaller GPU than the one on the other three 6000-series cards.
AMD RADEON RX 6700 XT GRAPHICS SERIES
The 6700 XT is based on the same RDNA2 architecture as the other RX 6000-series graphics cards but it is the cheapest model in the series so far, starting at $479. AMD today announced the Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card.
