AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Graphics Card Official For $479 US – Faster Than The GeForce RTX 3070 With 2560 Cores & Infinity Cache
AMD has officially unveiled its Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card featuring 12 GB memory and the RDNA 2 graphics architecture. The Radeon RX 6700 XT is positioned as the best-in-class 1440p GPU and comes with some brand new technologies and a new graphics core based on the Navi 22 SKU.
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 'Navi 22' Graphics Card Now Official For $479 US - Features 12 GB VRAM With 96 MB Infinity Cache & 2560 Cores at 230W
The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is said to be the best 1440p performer in the existing graphics market and features the highest VRAM in its class of GPUs too. The Radeon RX 6700 XT as such is the direct competitor to the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti but offers performance that even rivals the RTX 3070. AMD's Radeon RX 6700 XT is also the successor to the fastest first-generation Navi graphics card which we know as the Radeon RX 5700 XT.
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Graphics Card Specifications
In terms of specifications, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT packs the Navi 22 XT GPU that features 40 compute units which equal to 2560 stream processors. The cores run at a clock speed of 2321 MHz base, 2424 MHz Game, and 2581 MHz boost. The graphics chip also features 40 Ray accelerators for raytracing capabilities on the RDNA 2 based GPUs. The card will feature an 11 phase PCB design which will be powered by an 8+6 pin connector configuration. As for TDP, the card is rated at 230W which is close to what the GeForce RTX 3070 comes with.
The graphics card will feature a 12 GB GDDR6 memory buffer along with a 192-bit bus interface. AMD will most likely use 16 Gbps dies which would net a total bandwidth of 384 GB/s for the cards. The GPU additionally packs 96 MB of Infinity Cache. The GPU is fully Gen 4.0 compliant. Display outputs will include a three DisplayPort 1.4 and a single HDMI 2.1 port.
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Graphics Card Performance
The card is said to perform much faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER which should put it on par or even faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 in many titles. AMD measured the performance of the card at 1440p in several AAA gaming titles such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Borderlands 3, COD Black Ops: Cold War, Cyberpunk 2077, Dirt 5 & several other titles. The 12 GB of VRAM will definitely help the card offer better and stable performance at higher resolutions than its 8 GB VRAM-based competitors.
AMD Radeon RX 6700 Series With Dual-Slot Cooling Solution
Moving over to the design, the dual-slot card features a design similar to the triple-slot offering but with a slightly compact form factor. This shroud is said to be designed for the AMD Radeon RX 6700 series cards. The card features a dual axial-tech fan design and has the large "R" logo in the middle and on the fans too which represents the Radeon brand.
The card also features the LED-lit Radeon logo on the sides and has a large cut-out to vent out the heat from the aluminum heatsink. There are two 8-pin power connectors on the card but we may also see 8+6 or configurations for the more power optimized variants. The card also comes with a dual-slot form factor and should feature a similar I/O as the Big Navi graphics card.
