The AMD Radeon RX 6700 and RX 6700 XT tipped to launch with Navi 22 GPUs with 12 GB of GDDR6 VRAM
The RX 6700 is arriving on March 18th, which is just over two weeks away at time of writing. Both AMD and third party partner cards will be available on this date, and prices will start at $479 (UK pricing to be confirmed).
The RX 6700 XT will be released March 18 with a retail price starting at $479, AMD announced. That launch date will apply for both AMD-made cards as well as options from third-party manufacturers such as Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI.
That puts the RX 6700 XT’s pricing between Nvidia’s RTX 3070 ($499) and RTX 3060 Ti ($399). It does top both of those cards in terms of raw specifications, with 12 GB of GDDR6 RAM and a base clock of 2.321 GHz. The RX 6700 XT also draws 230 W of power, and will require two power connectors, one eight-pin and the other six-pin. Check out AMD’s website for the full specs.
AMD highlighted the benefits of the RX 6700’s RAM in particular, pointing out that modern games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War often demand more than 8 GB of video memory when running with high-resolution texture packs at 1440p. The company described the RX 6700 XT as “the ideal choice for 1440p gaming,” showing a chart in which the card bested both the RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti in frame rates at max settings in games such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Borderlands 3, and Hitman 3.
