What to expect when buying a brand new AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT for mining?

If Nvidia had to limit the performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 in mining in order to discourage cryptocurrency miners from this model, then AMD with its latest Radeon RX 6700 XT does not even need to do this: the new product is not well suited for cryptocurrency mining.

What to expect when buying a brand new AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT for mining?

Of course, if it appeared in retail for its honest 480 dollars, then the line of miners would have lined up huge, but for that kind of money we will hardly see AMD’s new product, and its mining performance is lower than that of its predecessor Radeon RX 5700 XT: 47 MH / s versus over 50 MH / s for the previous generation model. Mining performance is limited by memory bus width and bandwidth, but for games at Full HD and 1440p, these features do not become a stumbling block.

Probably, the performance of the Radeon RX 6700 XT in mining will be slightly increased due to the drivers, but you should not count on any big increase.
