Legacy-ZA:

This card will definitely help with availability, however, it's overpriced for what it gives at $480, for $20 more (assuming MSRP prices) the 3070 is the way better buy, considering you also get DLSS and better Raytracing performance, AMD is making "mistake" pricing the RX6700 this high, I think they are trying to cash in on the low supply and high demand, absolutely disgusting.
Agree 100%

Such high frequencies, too bad the card isn't very efficient. Feels like despite its best efforts, AMD cannot topple nVidia...at least yet.
When you compare to the 5700XT, which has the same core count and lower frequency, it's surprising to me how the 6700XT uses less power, while also being noticeably faster.

PS: Looks like we have a very greedy transformation for AMD , supported by fanatics ofc.
Crypto miners are indeed the worst fanatics the PC world has ever seen, that's for sure. It's easy to be a fanatic if you make profit, after all.

The 3060 is not a crappy card. In fact it's much better than the 6700XT. It's very close in performance while costing significantly less. The 3060 is just a meh product. It's not an upgrade for most people who upgrade every 2-3 years. And for budget conscious buyers who upgrade once upon a blue moon it's kind of expensive. At 320$ it means once things are back to normal 3rd party cards will be in the neighbourhood of 360-380$ which is kind of expensive for such a product but still less ridiculous than the 6700XT at 480$. The 6700XT is a good 80-100$ overpriced. It's as bad as the 2070 Super price was but without the performance.
I think we cannot judge a card by MSRP now, and badges cannot be attached based on MSRP which is an illusion. Looking at BB, only the eVGA RTX 3060 is priced closest to MSRP at 390USD. The rest, two PNY and one MSI are priced at 500USD. An RTX 3060 at 500USD is definitely NOT a good deal, and shouldn't receive a badge.....anywhere. IF the reference RX 6700 XT's by AMD, not talking about AIB's, are sold at 479USD, then they present a better value in terms of price/performance. I see TPU gave it an 'Editor's Choice' award for the Reference AMD model.

Card is severly cut down from 6800 so no wonder its not even close despite high clocks but 30% faster than 5700xt is no slouch. 192bit bus also hinders the performance. The card landed exactly where we though it will. It all ends up do you consider dlss to be the future or 12gb vram will come in handy soon but yeah availability will play the biggest role.

My $500 2070s smashes this card with DLSS. It's especially true with Cyberpunk 2077 as DLSS looks 99.99% as good as with it off if you run quality mode.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn The review page no 12 has an mistake which needs to be corrected as bechmarks for 4k are missing and you have used same WQHD benchmarks which are doubled.

My 5700xt OC's to 2,15ghz @1,1V. I think GPU power was 180W at most.

4% faster than the 3060Ti average (between those 4 reviews) is a joke, this should have been $400 tops. But MSRP doesn't exist anyways, but I really hope nobody pays more for this than for a scalped 3060Ti/3070, there is no reason to do that lol

with reBAR enabled 6700xt is 1.25x faster at qhd https://www.computerbase.de/2021-03/amd-radeon-rx-6700-xt-test/3/#abschnitt_benchmarks_in_2560__1440 6700xt vs 2070 Super is no contest imo.AMD wins hands down.2070 Super is still very good tho. it's no 3070 though,as some expected.Far from it,given not only the raster performance but other features too. I'd take both 3070 and 3060ti over 6700xt but vs. nvidia's last gen 2070S 6700xt is a better choice.Against 2080 Super -I'd prolly take the rtx and trade 5-10% raster performance for the huge return of dlss.

They can't even topple themselves. 5700XT launched in 2019, and this one, while 25%'ish faster, is also 25% ish more expensive (and not even talking about scalper prices...) MRSP = stagnation Real prices = regression Ridiculous, GPU market is dead. I'm done, when my existing GPU dies, no more gaming for me. Time to find another hobby.
Yeah, good point, this might just be a 2021 blip though, so you might instead want to put hardware purchasing in 2021 on hold and just keep on using your existing card....2022 might be the year to get a GPU at sensible pricing. I'm in a queue for a 3080 which I bought for just a little over MRSP, but I have a feeling the reseller is gonna be giving refunds in a few months rather than being able to honour delivery of the 3080. I'm not gonna buy a 3080 or any other card for elevated prices, if my queued 3080 falls through (or if it transpires it's not available until after the Summer) then I'm just gonna hold onto my GTX 1070 until prices & availability return to normal - the current climate of GPU hardware is frankly ridiculous, and people really shouldn't be buying these cards at the elevated prices, it's ridiculous.

Oof... this isn't great 😏Well.. I'll only go for the card if I can get it at reference prices (so trying my luck buying direct from AMD) but if not.... Another year or two with the Fury.... Really sad times these prices...

I get over 90FPS at 1440p with DLSS(NO RT) in Cyberpunk 2077. That's 2x the performance for the same price on a previous gen card. As DLSS becomes more widely supported and gets better at doing it's thing it basically shames all AMD cards. Though maybe AMD can pull the rabbit out of it's hat with their "DLSS" equivalent.

Thanks Mr Hilbert for this review. 🙂 Ok,this card do not have nvRT,Dlss,lot of Rgb and is "ugly,overpriced,not make cookies",but heck,where to find one under,lets say, 600 euros? (because of these times)

Ofc,every nVidia card with Dlss (upscale lower-resolution images to a higher-resolution for display on higher-resolution computer monitors) will sky-rocketing anything but not Image Quality. 🙂

that's true in many older DLSS games but the level of quality that CP 2077 has is near lossless as one of the newest titles on the market to support DLSS I feel it's safe to say more titles will have that near lossless effect as well. So it's still a feature(or lack of) that causes the 6700XT to become less competitive even at MSRP.

Kosmoz:

In 6 months time the 6000 series GPUs will also have their DLSS competitor solution and with that ON you can play with RT on too with these cards, even if it will be a few % lower than a 3070 with RT+DLSS ON. And that is enough for me. Not having DLSS is just temporary, not having more than 8gb Vram, like 3070/360TI don't have, is permanent!
I don't disagree about Vram but I think you overestimate the performance gain that their DLSS variant will bring. Strictly speaking for MSRP so the 3070 and 6700XT would be considered head to head competitors. It's rumored that the RT performance of even the 6800XT is roughly that of a 3070 but at least it has the raw horsepower in rasterization to help offset that loss to it's 3080 kin. So even with AMDLSS and RT on it won't come close to the 3070.
