AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Graphics Card Releasing On March 18, Promises Max Graphics Settings At 1440p

AMD has revealed another graphics card in their current RX 6000 Series GPUs featuring RDNA 2 architecture. Joining the Radeon RX 6900 XT, RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 is the new lowest-end of the bunch: the Radeon RX 6700 XT.

Despite being lower-end compared to the rest of the RDNA 2 GPUs, the RX 6700 XT still packs a punch. AMD promises you can run new games at maximum settings with the 6700 XT- so long as it’s at 1440p resolution.

The GPU also has 12GB worth of VRAM. 4GB lower than the other RX 6000 Series cards, but it’s still way more than you’d expect from a lower-end card. But given that graphics demand for new games require at least 8GB to make use of fancier graphical settings like ray-tracing, 12GB is pretty sufficient for now.

Here’s the rest of the technical specs:

  • 40 Compute Units
  • up to 2424MHz clock speed
  • 96MB Infinity Cache
  • 12GB GDDR6 VRAM
  • 230W power
  • AMD Smart Access Memory Support

The RX 6700 XT looks to be AMD’s answer to Nvidia’s RTX 3060- though the 15-minute presentation saw Team Red comparing the new RX 6700 XT with last-gen Nvidia cards (which obviously are slower).

But if it’s been a while since you last upgraded, the new generation of graphics cards really upped the performance to be worth it.

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT will be releasing globally on March 18. AMD acknowledges stocks may be limited just like new consoles and other new graphics cards. But there will be a selection from various OEM as well AMD’s own reference cards to be available on launch.
