Faster than the GeForce RTX 3070, cheaper and with 12GB of storage. Introduced Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card

As expected, AMD today officially unveiled its new RDNA 2 graphics card at its Where Gaming Begins: Episode 3 online event. It is called the Radeon RX 6700 XT.

The novelty is built on the Navi 22 GPU with 40 computing units. That is, the number of stream processors of the novelty is equal to the number of stream processors of the predecessor Radeon RX 5700 XT – 2560. The base frequency of the GPU is 2.321 GHz. The frequency in the game mode is 2.424 GHz, and the maximum is 2.581 GHz.

Unlike Nvidia, AMD did not skimp on GDDR6 memory: its volume was 12 GB. The frequency of the memory chips has not been announced, but it will almost certainly be 16 GHz. The GPU is connected to the memory using a 192-bit bus. Also, the Radeon RX 6700 XT received 96 MB of very fast Infinity Cache memory.

The reference Radeon RX 6700 XT received an 11-phase power subsystem with eight and six-pin connectors, the TDP value is slightly higher than expected – 230 W. The new product is fully compatible with the PCIe 4.0 interface, equipped with three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and one HDMI 2.1.

And now a little about performance. In one of the previous news, we assumed that the Radeon RX 6700 XT would be simultaneously a competitor to both the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and the GeForce RTX 3070, and that is how it turned out. In different games at a resolution of 1440p, it either matches the performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, or outperforms both it and the RTX 3070. Also, according to official data, the Radeon RX 6700 XT is about one and a half times faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Super and twice as fast as the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. The big advantage of the new AMD product over its competitors is the larger memory capacity.

The Radeon RX 6700 XT will go on sale on March 18th. The recommended cost is 480 dollars, but for this money it is unlikely to be able to buy it. However, sales of both refreshed and non-reference versions start at the same time, so some models, in theory, should be noticeably cheaper than others.
