Gigabyte is back in the house with their familiar Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming OC. A graphics card aimed at the WQHD (2560x1440) monitor range, armed with a triple fan-based WindForce cooler that remains silent and keeps the product nicely chilled down. The OC edition includes a factory tweak, though factory tweaks gain little additional performance these days.

No its not
new architecture,new node,larger l3 cache,lower latency,better imc - what a waste of silicon to get 6% in return
get real.it's at least 15% for gaming from cpu upgrade alone,another 5-10% if you account for faster memory and fclk

cpuz scores mean nothing.

You dont need to replace that 2700X yet. Unless you get your hands on much stronger GPU (but you can't ).
My friend has 1600AF ( which is almost the same) and 3060 Ti and bottleneck is not that bad. If he had 6700/6800 id would be even better as nvidia has much bigger driver overhead in DX12 games ( AMD has big overhead in DX11.....).
I'd stick to that build for now
I have a 1600af in my HTPC rig. It does well. Paired with a RX 480 nitro. I leave it stock and it boost to 3.6. My 2700x at times holds back my 5700xt # 3840x1080 144hz depending on the game. I wont ever say the cpu is weak though. Just not fast fast is all.

CPUz scores are usless as it gets regarding gaming , look at RKL
. Zen1 vs Zen2 is big upgrade but he doesn't need it. Zen2 is proper gaming chip while Zen1 is meh imo, however games started to use more cores it stands well after years.
