Priced at $479 USD, AMD released their 'mainstream to high-end Radeon RX 6700 XT. A product that is to battle with the RTX 3060 Ti and 3070 from team green. Armed with 12GB of graphics memory, will it offer enough performance for a graphics card with such a massive pricetag?

:yawn:
(not much to say, really ... thanks @Hilbert Hagedoorn for the effort, but yet another product that makes no financial sense for actual gamers. Miners will buy it in droves though... they will buy anything)

@kapu That's okay, I've been battling the conclusions for days and knew some would not agree. The only basis for conclusions right now can be MSRP, as at one point things will return to normal to that level (at least I hope so).
In the end, this is a WQHD domain card with MSRP prices starting at close to 500 bucks. That same domain was half that money a while ago.
The 3060 and 3060 Ti start at an MSRP of 329 and 399 USD, also too much as stated in the article(s), but where do we draw the line of what is acceptable? To me, this makes no sense anymore. If you disagree, by all means .. pick one up.

What a disappointing products. You can sort of justify both 6800 and 6800XT (at retail price) by their shaders performance but this one not so much. It should be the same price (+ inflation) as the 5700 XT was to make any sense. At 420$ it could make some sort of sense but not at 480$.
I wish the 3070 would have 10GB of memory. Right now everything is out of stock but when cards will become available again i'll remain hesitant to buy a 3070 because of the 8GB of memory. So i guess it will be either a 3080 or a 6800.

Everyone is doing cash grab right now , and AMD set price accordingly to performance/market situation , if we use actual prices it is in the top performance/$ from all new cads .
Once things will return to normal , AMD will change prices so will NVidia.
Raytracing is far from being viable on mid ( even higher end GPUs), even with DLSS cards are struggling to get 50 FPS at 1080.
You buy AMD you forget RT you forget DLSS and you live on with great raster performance - whole RDNA2 was build around raster performance and 1080/1440p gaming , nothing else - if that is what you want they are amazing cards , you want something else ? Get nvidia . These are two different products
I don't get people who get any hopes of DLSS or RT on AMD current gen - that is not going to happen in ANY meaningful ways.
EVEN at MSRP , the card is almost 30% faster than 3060 ( yea almost 30%!!!) . At is one of the BEST performance/$ card in the world .
3060 gets badge ? 6700xt not ? You should do more thinking on subject
If you want continue msrp debate you should post graph similar to this.

So .... RTX 3060 gets Top pic reward , obviously crappy card ( biggest disappointment - by many reviewers and users. ) and we got whole paragraph - discussion about MSRP price , nice nonsense.
And only argument is lack of RT/DLSS and bad msrp price .
Wake up man , there isn't any msrp prices , and RT/DLSS is usless on 3060 ( not much better on 3060 ti ).
"You can get 3070 for 20$ more " You can ? please show me one place that you will be able to buy 3070 at price of 6700XT.
I'm bit disappointed by the review.
