Game performance
In the following result overviews I have on the one hand cumulated the average FPS of all cards and in all games and then calculated and compared this still in percent. I tested a total of 10 games and even in QHD the action is still good. After all, we must never forget that this is not cherry-picking, but in any situation there are games in the selection that can easily break the fair weather front. In any case, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which was the target, was clearly put in its place (outside of DXR), even if it was never enough for the RTX 3070 in total.
If we now look at the percentages, we end up with an average lead of 4 to 5 percentage points of the Radeon RX 6700XT over the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, depending on the resolutions, but with DXR it’s almost 16 percent behind. The gap to the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is thus significant, at least with DXR.
Especially at lower resolutions up to WQHD, this card is a safe bet. Even though the advantage over the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a bit less clear than expected. But is it enough to achieve the desired playability still good. In some situations, you will have to turn up the quality slider a bit in WQHD, but only if you need extremely high FPS numbers. It only gets a bit tighter in Ultra HD, but AMD does not advertise the card for high resolutions.
Conclusion and final remarks
In general, AMD has definitely succeeded with the Radeon RX 6700XT, because it positions itself very exactly where it was predicted some time ago. It is (outside of DXR) faster than a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and it has become significantly more performant and efficient than the Radeon RX 5700XT. For a final assessment, including the market positioning, one will have to wait for the launch and the subsequent prices including availability.
The power consumption is probably due to the fact that the card was later upgraded to beat the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. If you remember my first predictions and the article from 2020, the two BIOSes (possible reference and OC card) were very, very far apart and I had already speculated about extreme clock rates and a bit more thirst back then, but the performance estimation was made with the much more moderate BIOS variant. AMD has now decided to use the small, golden crowbar, which even works out elegantly as a concept in the case of the RX 6700XT.
The MSRP of 480 Euro mentioned by AMD as the starting price for the reference model is still okay, but there is also first information about the board partner cards that they should turn out significantly more expensive. A rumored MSRP of well over 500 Euros for the more elaborate cards is a bit of a tough call, unfortunately. And then there is the completely crazy market, which currently drives the prices to astronomical heights, which have nothing to do with the RRP. If the cards are currently available in the shops at all.
The card was provided to igorsLAB by AMD under NDA for testing with the condition not to fall below the specified release date for the case of the NDA. There was no possible influence of the manufacturer on the test and the results, nor was there any obligation to publish them.
