So why is this card so hotly anticipated? Put simply, it brings the advancements of AMD’s bleeding-edge Big Navi GPUs like the RX 6900 XT down to a mid-range price point, while still offering great performance for the 1440p 144Hz screens that are the most popular new purchase amongst PC gamers. The RX 6700 XT is also reasonably future-proof, thanks to HDMI 2.1 support, 12GB of VRAM and RT capabilities. It’s also slightly cheaper than Nvidia’s competing RTX 3070, which admittedly does perform better in RT workloads.
What is it? This mid-range graphics card for 1440p gaming replaces the RX 5700 XT When is it coming out? March 18th, 9AM GMT (1PM ET) How much is it? Prices begin at £419/$479
Though AMD is taking the unusual step of releasing reference and custom designs at the same time, the first few shops to push their RX 6700 XT stock have sold out quickly. Check out the links below for all the shops expected to have stock. Note that some stores listed below haven’t put their RX 6700 XT categories live yet, so if a link doesn’t work then you may be a bit early - or they may be a bit late! Try another retailer or search for the RX 6700 XT 12GB in the retailer’s search bar as an alternative. The RX 6700 XT’s closest AMD competitors are the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070, which remain hard to find on the retail market. The RX 6700 XT is normally around the same power level as the RTX 3070, but dips below the RTX 3060 Ti in some games, especially ones that utilise ray tracing.
