Great to finally see some content on this card, looks like a solid buy for £300 or so! When it comes to the comparison would love to see it compared against the 6600, 6700XT, 3060 and maybe the 3060TI? Never really been sure where this card sits so looking forward to the data!
According to Techpowerup the 3060ti is 5% faster, the cheapest 3060ti at overclockers is £120 more expensive, I'd just buy one of these. I'd especially go that route as I have an AMD platform and their resizable BAR implementation will even that out well enough with some games outperforming 3070s on this card, games such as Forza Horizon 5 for example.
@@darthwiizius The 3060ti is also twice as fast or more in heavy ray tracing games. I chose the 3060ti over the 10Gb 6700 for that reason and do not regret it at all.

I love this underrated card, the Sapphire version is available for 405€ here, 6700XT around 480€, 6650XT also around 400€. Seems fair to me. It's efficient, has 2gb more vram and a little bit more performance compared to the 6650XT. I hope I can get my hands on a used one in a few years, but my RX 580 8GB is still doing fine. Thanks for the video. :)
@@eye776 yeah, it's not bad, it's efficient and 4gb vram should be okay for 1080p mid-high settings. I play Forza Horizon 5 in 1440p and high texture quality (I think) and it uses 3,5gb vram, ultra setting use around 6gb vram (tested on GTX 1060 6gb, my RX 580 should handle ultra).
Funny thing tho i play horizon zero dawn at 1080 with everything ultra but some aa downgraded a bit, thinking about an upgrade but not so sure :))) Maybi it will rock for another couple of years?
6700XT is something i'm keeping my eye on, if 7600 card could outperform that then will go for that. still its nice to have option even with amd cuz nvidia with its price its not going to be most people's option
@@Zanshi I also bought it last month, I use it for high refresh rate 1080p gaming. It doesn’t perform that well in ray tracing, but rasterisation performance exceeded my expectations. So far very satisfied with how it performs.
I also bought it at a discount. I overclocked and undervolted it to 125 Watt at max load (a 50W reduction from stock). Which is very welcome with the current energy prices.
The 6000 series is proving to be a good lineup for AMD lately, especially since I've heard mixed reviews for the 5000 series. I recently picked up a 6650XT since the 6700XT was a bit out of my reach, but I'm supremely satisfied with the end result so far
I bought this exact same card 3 weeks ago, back when it was cheaper than the cheapest 6600XT available in the Netherlands. Managed to get it running at 2700mhz. 4K ultra/high in RDR2 is possible with FSR Quality and capping the frame rate to 60 and almost exactly hits 60fps in the built-in benchmark, while never dropping below 30.
At this money Nvidia give you a 3050, compared to that this is a beast of a card. Baring in mind that it's at a performance level between a 6600xt and 6700xt it's like a budget 3070 and I'd take the money saving over better RT and DLSS, or as a price alternative to a 3050 the massive performance uplift.
I love my 6700! I bought the Sapphire Pulse model on August 5th, installed it on August 15th after a wait that felt like forever (Newegg shipping definitely isn't that of Amazon Prime), and so far, the card has been really good! It was good out of the box, but after watching Ancient Gameplay's undervolting / overclocking guide for the card, as well as disassembling the card and replacing the thermal paste with some Arctic MX-4, it's now even better! It boosts higher, holds the boost for longer, and also runs a solid 3 - 5°C cooler. 👌 One of my only complaints about my 6700 is that it runs quite a bit hotter than my ASUS Dual 6600 does, but the 6700 is also a more powerful card, so the increase in temperature is to be expected. Still, though, compared to the old XFX RX 590 I used for a couple years, the 6700 runs very cool. The hottest I've seen my 6700 run at is 76°C when I stress tested it with the Superposition "4K Optimized" benchmark, but Superposition is incredibly taxing, so the fact that my 6700 stayed under 80°C and remained at around 60fps is very impressive. In the same benchmark, my old RX 590 would've been on its knees, only getting between 10 and 15fps while begging for mercy running at around 83°C. So, while my 6700 isn't as good temperature-wise as my 6600, the 6700 is still a massively colder-running card than was the XFX Fatboy RX 590 I used for two years. Not to mention, according to TechPowerUp, the 6700 is around 51.00% faster. The only other complaint I have about my 6700 is that the one I got came with some fairly noticeable machining marks/scratches on the heatsink assembly, but I'm just being extremely nitpicky about that. Functionally, the card performs perfectly, and it was definitely a good use of $382.85 at the time of purchase. Although, it definitely stings a little now knowing that, had I waited a month and a half longer, the XT model 6700s would drop to between $350.00 and $370.00 here in the US. But, back in early August, the XT models were still selling for $430.00 - $450.00, and I absolutely couldn't justify that $70.00 to $90.00 price increase as I was working with an extremely strict budget. Luckily, according to TechPowerUp, the 6700 non-XT is only about 7.00% slower than the XT model 6700s, so I'm not losing out on that much performance. Plus, I only game at 1080p 60fps medium/high settings anyway, so I really wouldn't have benefited all that much from the extra 7.00% or so performance bump of the 6700 XT cards. With my performance and gaming standards, the 6700 non-XT will easily last me till late 2024 / early 2025. 😁
It’s the first review of this GPU I’ve seen 🤩😇. Very nice performing GPU and more than enough for 1440p high settings gaming for at least a handful of years 👍💪🥰. Enjoy your GPU my man .
This is an exceptionally efficient card and can be more desirable option than 6650XT even though they are very similar in performance. Unfortunately all the 6700s in my region are marked up like the pre-crypto crash standard atm.
yes! this method of gameplay + voice recording side by side is what ive always wanted. its fun to see u getting confused and being so human uk. loved the review and have been loving the 6700 for a long time now
Great to see a video about this card. I recently bout the 12gb PowerColor RX 6700 XT Red Devil card and love it. I would love to see a comparison video with the XT, as you mentioned you may do. I had a hard time finding any good reviews, as far as specs and stuff go. There's ton of VS videos with the 3060TI and the 3070. Seems like to most, it's on the 3070 level. But I would much rather see you do a comparison video. Again, thanks for the great video/videos.
Bought the XFX version of this card and I can say I'm very happy with it. hasn't gone past 50C in 1080p games and can hold up well in 1440p. The three -fan design REALLY helps this out.
just got the same card. hasn't arrived yet but I will be using DDU to swap from a 1660ti I've been rocking since 2019. Can't afford to build a whole new PC just yet, hoping to get another 2 years at max and experience some 1440p gaming for the first time. Also wanted to experiment never having AMD, and it comes with a code for Starfield free at launch, was $270 total. Also, it's 8% better than the 3060 12GB according to user benchmark, which was the other card I was considering for $299.
Why does everybody insist on calling it the 6700 (Non-XT)? People never say 3060 (non TI) or 1080 (non TI). It's annoying. Nobody is going to get confused by it's correct name RX 6700.
Because the non xt version is somewhat rare. I dunno why but when I check markets and online shops n stuffs,the xt version always pops up first,and I gotta scroll down pretty low to find the non xt version. Turns out it is actually rare for some reason and is actually an awesome GPU! Maybe bcz no one talks much about 10GB VRAM, that's why
Yes, no one talks about the non XT. But to be fair it's confusing. I wanted to look for a Radeon 7700. It does not exist. Only the 7700 XT. Imagine an RTX 4070 TI but no 4070.
These and the 6700XT are absolute bangers at 1440p for the price. I have a 6700XT that serves me well while my 2080 Super was dead. I just RMAed and MSI sent me an upgrade to a 3080 Suprim X for free so I'll be going with that going forward but was extremely happy with the 6700XT.
@@CrustyWhiteBread hell yeah, I was impressed. I mean I'm sure it was due to the stock issues but they even took my 2080 Super while it was missing the serial number sticker. They were really cool about it and we're pretty quick too.
Wtf, how's that possible? Congrats on msi for the customer service, may i ask if your gpu was beyond warranty? I have a msi motherboard and so far so good except sometimes (i think something like once in 4/5 months) the audio board just isn't recognized and in the worst case scenario i had to use an external audio card. Sorry for the wallpaper and hope to ear from you soon
@@fede_ind17 Yeah it was under warranty still. I had registered it on MSIs website when I first got it. When it originally died I was having issues doing an RMA because of Covid the whole system was a mess. After having the 6700XT for a few months gave it a try again and then boom. It did seem like that 2080 Super I had wasn't very common, it was the Gaming Trio X, so I doubt they have had any stock for a while. It's worth trying to go register it in the site
@@rko901000 the rx 5700 DD Ultra i had didn’t even hit 63 degree celsius under full stress and my case is that POS called MB520. how come they’re shady?
Finally, someone else reviewing this card! I’ve no idea why no one’s been talking about it! I’ve had mine for a few months and absolutely love it! And it was cheaper than the 6650xt and the 6600xt. And faster than both! Also I play cyberpunk at 1440p on ultra and it smashes it.
@@RandomGaminginHD The German channel Kreativecke also did a video with a title similar to yours 😀 DIE BESTE Grafikkarte IHRER KLASSE... über die NIEMAND redet! AMD Radeon RX 6700 (NON XT) translates to: The best grapcics card in its class... no one talks about!
Its not available stateside for the best I can tell. Still no reason for as least a few more reviews from channels who do have the access. This was a great video.
I picked up the sapphire model from overclockers to replace a gtx 1080. It even came with 3 free games. So far it's been spot on and for the price it's a great deal. With any new card there's a few hiccups when it comes to the driver optimisation but that'll only improve. I've got a good undervolt with a little overclock and it doesn't get passed 68°c. Very happy with it.
If you want to try checkout out some of the even weirder cards in the rdna 2 lineup, see if you can find the 6500xt 8gb. It apparently exists, and may be a weird comparison to the original one. Other fun cards include the 6600m, which is literally the laptop 6600 on a desktop card, apparently performing similarly to the desktop gpu.
The Sapphire Pulse version of this card has been available and in stock at Newegg in Canada for about six weeks for $500CAD which is $50CAD cheaper than a 3060Ti Founders Edition. I'm glad someone is finally looking at it.
Man i follow you for a bit now and man i really enjoy your videos, they are informative and they have this early RUclips charme, like it seems these are made by a fellow lad from at home and i love that. ❤
I got the Sapphire model for 329.99 from OCUK. I seen the fighter on there for 299.99. Best value GPU that is just simply the best. I heard about it from Ancient Gameplays. When I bought mine it was 349.99 the price dropped the same day and OCUK refunded me the difference. Which is why I will always shop at OCUK.
I have the 6700xt version, I got it at fairly cheap price while the 3060ti costed almost 15% more than 6700xt when I bought it. I primarily use it for high refresh rate 1080p gaming and so far it performs exceedingly well. If you don’t use ray tracing, this card runs all the new games at 90-120 fps at max setting (I keep Amd SAM on, that also helps in some games).
I have the 6600XT version of this card paired with R9 5950X and it works like a treat. I rarely see any slowdown. I love the simple, bland look of this card.
I'm so glad someone reliable made a video on this. I've been trying to convince friends to getting it instead of 3060ti but I have no experience with them and there's hardly any info online either
Idk why AMD overvolts their gpus so heavily at the factory. Probably for stability, but I was able to undervolt my ASRock 6700 xt by quite a bit, increasing boost clocks and lowering temps an impressive amount
Would be interesting to see how GPUs like this compare to older architectures too like Polaris and Pascal, a lot of people, myself included haven't made the jump to the newer series.
Recently got one of these today. Almost got a 6650xt for $300 at Best Buy of all places, but they had an XFX 6700 also available, and I decided it was worth the extra $30.
After seeing the announcement of the 4000 series and European pricing I was so pissed off at myself for not having bought this 6700 for 380€ at the start of summer... Now months later after staying with my struggling rx 570 the cheapest 6700 pricing in the Netherlands in slightly above 400€, so I just bought a 6750xt yesterday for 450 + 8€ shipping... can't wait to get my hands on it, although still feels a bit too expensive for what it is.
I'm also looking to buy something between 5700xt-6700xt from amd. new gen cards are definitely not for me since i do want a card that does not need nuclear plant to power it up.
Im looking into a 6700xt too but I want the price to drop a bit more. Maybe It never will since I see here everyone seems to be looking at 6700xts also.
6750 is equivalent or better than 3070ti. Card may go down a bit over next month or two but would that have been worth waiting to save a few euro? You did good.
@@pw5232 Here in Europe there's no 3080s for the same price. ESPECIALLY in the Netherlands. In Spain people are selling them for like 600 but here the minimum price is 700 second hand, which is pretty absurd for a 2nd hand card with a few months of warranty left that has been mined on. If prices drop I'm pretty sure I'll still be able to sell the 6750xt for 300€ at least since there's no new mid range or entry cards and buy a 7800xt or whatever.
I have been looking at one of these to replace my GTX 1060 6GB. Just debating whether to wait for the Ryzen 7000 series CPU's or just upgrade my R5 2600 to an R7 5700x
I just went from a 2600 to a 5600, and since I have a pretty decent GPU, the performance uplift was pretty shocking. I think you'd be really happy with the R7 5700X if you went that direction.
Well, I'm rather taken aback. I only EVER buy Radeon cards but I had no idea that this card even existed. This really sounds like one of AMD's OEM-only GPUs that'd been eventually released to the general market because I''ve only ever seen the RX 6700 XT until now. Thanks for increasing our awareness because I'm willing to bet that this card's rather ingonito profile would make it an absolute bargain.
You need a decent CPU to pair with it. I had mine paired with a 5900X and was hitting 60 FPS at 1440P with every game I’ve thrown at it. Even Cyberpunk it ran well at 1440p high settings.
After my experience with my EVGA 3060, and it ramping up to 77-80C under load, I will never buy a fairly powerful 2 fan gpu again. The cooling just isn't sufficient. My 3 fan 3070 OC only gets up to 70C at most.
Hi, nice video. I like the change where you're actually playing in the video. Just a suggestion for your next videos, it would be nice to be able to see fan speeds and power draw in the msi afterburner overlay?
Thank you. It's frustrating to search for a review of this card (because it's available in my country at a reasonable price) and find everyone and their grandchildren talking about the XT.
The coil whine is no joke. I have a PowerColor 6700xt Hellhound and when I first got it, I thought my 2tb storage HDD was suddenly going bad. The whine sounded like a dying spinning drive. I can't hear it with my headset on, but launching a game like Destiny 2 without my headset on scared me a little until I realized it was just the video card. Normal browsing, RUclips, ect, it's quiet.
great video definitely a adorable card to have even as a card to buy and keep as a backup until the new GPUs drop or the higher end current cards drop in price
Thank you for the video. Im just waiting for this gpu to drop to 300-320€ in my country, can't wait to replace my 1060 6gb. Thank you for this video dude :)
Hi man, big fan of your channel. I have a question that you might be able to answer or help with. I bought this card a few days ago after running a 970 for about 7 years. I have 2 screens with hdmi, the hdmi output works fine but i already tried 2 different DP to HDMI adapters to run the 2nd screen and no luck on any of the 3 DP outputs. Do you have any insight on this? Thanks in avance. Keep up with the good work.
Great content as always. I got this card recently and i have 12400. I play on 1080p but my temps go up to 76 degrees C! Got a fractal C so a well ventilated case with enough fans. Don't know what I'm doing wrong
I bought the sapphire version of this card and it has done nothing but impress me with its temps and performance. An absolute steal for the price I paid for it (375USD). Bought new life to my i7 8700k gaming system.
Hey man,loved the video. Btw,in terms of performance,not only the GPU,but the CPU or processor matters a lot too. So if it's okay to ask,what cpu are you using, man?
i got mine, its a 359 euro beast that rivals a rtx 3070 laptop version, whilst only drawing 110 watts @ oc and undervolt.......... such great performance
I've never actually seen a stock 6700 for sale. My 6700XT is amazing, was well well well worth the wait to get it at a decent price, and it's already down like another $150, aruggh. So this's a neat review!
Overclockers UK has the PowerColor & Sapphire versions and they vary between £300 & £380, similar priced to the 6600 (£260-330) & cheaper than the 6650XT (£375-400).

7600xt will be 5-7 hundret
@Pyro-Lyro true I misunderstood because of 4000 cores but it features 200w tbp and 3.3 GHz frequency🤯🤯🤯
Love the new format where you talk during the gameplay more than usual. It sounds more organic and it makes the videos longer, double win there
thanks :) it was a struggle as i've got a cold but just about managed haha
I also bought it at a discount. I overclocked and undervolted it to 125 Watt at max load (a 50W reduction from stock). Which is very welcome with the current energy prices.
The 6000 series is proving to be a good lineup for AMD lately, especially since I've heard mixed reviews for the 5000 series. I recently picked up a 6650XT since the 6700XT was a bit out of my reach, but I'm supremely satisfied with the end result so far
I bought this exact same card 3 weeks ago, back when it was cheaper than the cheapest 6600XT available in the Netherlands. Managed to get it running at 2700mhz. 4K ultra/high in RDR2 is possible with FSR Quality and capping the frame rate to 60 and almost exactly hits 60fps in the built-in benchmark, while never dropping below 30.
At this money Nvidia give you a 3050, compared to that this is a beast of a card. Baring in mind that it's at a performance level between a 6600xt and 6700xt it's like a budget 3070 and I'd take the money saving over better RT and DLSS, or as a price alternative to a 3050 the massive performance uplift.
got it from megekko didnt you? i saw it as well but grabbed myself a 6800
I love my 6700! I bought the Sapphire Pulse model on August 5th, installed it on August 15th after a wait that felt like forever (Newegg shipping definitely isn't that of Amazon Prime), and so far, the card has been really good! It was good out of the box, but after watching Ancient Gameplay's undervolting / overclocking guide for the card, as well as disassembling the card and replacing the thermal paste with some Arctic MX-4, it's now even better! It boosts higher, holds the boost for longer, and also runs a solid 3 - 5°C cooler. 👌
One of my only complaints about my 6700 is that it runs quite a bit hotter than my ASUS Dual 6600 does, but the 6700 is also a more powerful card, so the increase in temperature is to be expected. Still, though, compared to the old XFX RX 590 I used for a couple years, the 6700 runs very cool. The hottest I've seen my 6700 run at is 76°C when I stress tested it with the Superposition "4K Optimized" benchmark, but Superposition is incredibly taxing, so the fact that my 6700 stayed under 80°C and remained at around 60fps is very impressive. In the same benchmark, my old RX 590 would've been on its knees, only getting between 10 and 15fps while begging for mercy running at around 83°C. So, while my 6700 isn't as good temperature-wise as my 6600, the 6700 is still a massively colder-running card than was the XFX Fatboy RX 590 I used for two years. Not to mention, according to TechPowerUp, the 6700 is around 51.00% faster.
The only other complaint I have about my 6700 is that the one I got came with some fairly noticeable machining marks/scratches on the heatsink assembly, but I'm just being extremely nitpicky about that. Functionally, the card performs perfectly, and it was definitely a good use of $382.85 at the time of purchase. Although, it definitely stings a little now knowing that, had I waited a month and a half longer, the XT model 6700s would drop to between $350.00 and $370.00 here in the US. But, back in early August, the XT models were still selling for $430.00 - $450.00, and I absolutely couldn't justify that $70.00 to $90.00 price increase as I was working with an extremely strict budget. Luckily, according to TechPowerUp, the 6700 non-XT is only about 7.00% slower than the XT model 6700s, so I'm not losing out on that much performance. Plus, I only game at 1080p 60fps medium/high settings anyway, so I really wouldn't have benefited all that much from the extra 7.00% or so performance bump of the 6700 XT cards. With my performance and gaming standards, the 6700 non-XT will easily last me till late 2024 / early 2025. 😁
It’s the first review of this GPU I’ve seen 🤩😇. Very nice performing GPU and more than enough for 1440p high settings gaming for at least a handful of years 👍💪🥰. Enjoy your GPU my man .
This is an exceptionally efficient card and can be more desirable option than 6650XT even though they are very similar in performance. Unfortunately all the 6700s in my region are marked up like the pre-crypto crash standard atm.
Where do you live??
I can't find much in the way of comparisons for this card, have you seen how it compares to the 6650xt?
just bought myself a 6800 non xt a few weeks ago (upgraded from a 1060 6gb) and I love it. this generation of amd cards are very impressive
I just plugged a 6800 into my system yesterday. Upgrade from 2060. IT SMOKES! Grats on the upgrade, m8.
@@CrustyWhiteBread I also have a 2060 and looking to switch to AMD rx 6800, have you got anything to point out after your switch?
yes! this method of gameplay + voice recording side by side is what ive always wanted. its fun to see u getting confused and being so human uk. loved the review and have been loving the 6700 for a long time now
Great to see a video about this card. I recently bout the 12gb PowerColor RX 6700 XT Red Devil card and love it. I would love to see a comparison video with the XT, as you mentioned you may do. I had a hard time finding any good reviews, as far as specs and stuff go. There's ton of VS videos with the 3060TI and the 3070. Seems like to most, it's on the 3070 level. But I would much rather see you do a comparison video. Again, thanks for the great video/videos.
Bought the XFX version of this card and I can say I'm very happy with it. hasn't gone past 50C in 1080p games and can hold up well in 1440p. The three -fan design REALLY helps this out.
Lazada?
I was just looking at the same model, it's 400 euros where I'm at.
It's on sale at best buy for $329 picking it up tomorrow.
just got the same card. hasn't arrived yet but I will be using DDU to swap from a 1660ti I've been rocking since 2019. Can't afford to build a whole new PC just yet, hoping to get another 2 years at max and experience some 1440p gaming for the first time. Also wanted to experiment never having AMD, and it comes with a code for Starfield free at launch, was $270 total. Also, it's 8% better than the 3060 12GB according to user benchmark, which was the other card I was considering for $299.
Why does everybody insist on calling it the 6700 (Non-XT)? People never say 3060 (non TI) or 1080 (non TI). It's annoying. Nobody is going to get confused by it's correct name RX 6700.
because people not know exist rx 6700 non xt
Because the non xt version is somewhat rare. I dunno why but when I check markets and online shops n stuffs,the xt version always pops up first,and I gotta scroll down pretty low to find the non xt version. Turns out it is actually rare for some reason and is actually an awesome GPU! Maybe bcz no one talks much about 10GB VRAM, that's why
Why do u gotta make a fuss, doesn't affect ur life that bad right
Yes, no one talks about the non XT.
But to be fair it's confusing.
I wanted to look for a Radeon 7700. It does not exist. Only the 7700 XT.
Imagine an RTX 4070 TI but no 4070.
Because no one knows the existence of this card, everyone goes with either 6600,6600xt or 6700xt
These and the 6700XT are absolute bangers at 1440p for the price.
I have a 6700XT that serves me well while my 2080 Super was dead. I just RMAed and MSI sent me an upgrade to a 3080 Suprim X for free so I'll be going with that going forward but was extremely happy with the 6700XT.
Well...MSI showing some real integrity. That's a great upgrade. Grats.
@@CrustyWhiteBread hell yeah, I was impressed. I mean I'm sure it was due to the stock issues but they even took my 2080 Super while it was missing the serial number sticker. They were really cool about it and we're pretty quick too.
Wtf, how's that possible? Congrats on msi for the customer service, may i ask if your gpu was beyond warranty? I have a msi motherboard and so far so good except sometimes (i think something like once in 4/5 months) the audio board just isn't recognized and in the worst case scenario i had to use an external audio card. Sorry for the wallpaper and hope to ear from you soon
@@fede_ind17 Yeah it was under warranty still. I had registered it on MSIs website when I first got it. When it originally died I was having issues doing an RMA because of Covid the whole system was a mess.
After having the 6700XT for a few months gave it a try again and then boom. It did seem like that 2080 Super I had wasn't very common, it was the Gaming Trio X, so I doubt they have had any stock for a while.
It's worth trying to go register it in the site
MSI did give you what for free??????
Can you try to check out the RX 6650 XT? Especially the XFX version? Since there are barely any videos about this version in general.
Yeah :)
If your looking to get one buy any other AIB. Xfx is shady af.
@@rko901000 Why do you say they are shady?
@@rko901000 that makes no sense, xfx is one of the best aibs for amd
@@rko901000 the rx 5700 DD Ultra i had didn’t even hit 63 degree celsius under full stress and my case is that POS called MB520. how come they’re shady?
Finally, someone else reviewing this card! I’ve no idea why no one’s been talking about it! I’ve had mine for a few months and absolutely love it! And it was cheaper than the 6650xt and the 6600xt. And faster than both! Also I play cyberpunk at 1440p on ultra and it smashes it.
My 6600xt arrived 2 days ago and man, from my 960 2gb is such a big upgrade, i can finally max out the games i love 😆
I bought this for 1080p 144hz. It's a fantastic card and undervolts/overclocks well too!
I believe Daniel Owen also did a nice benchmarking for this card as well, as he does for amd and nvidia gpus
Awesome video and Elden ring performance for me alone imo
oh cool i'll have a look
@@RandomGaminginHD The German channel Kreativecke also did a video with a title similar to yours 😀
DIE BESTE Grafikkarte IHRER KLASSE... über die NIEMAND redet! AMD Radeon RX 6700 (NON XT)
translates to:
The best grapcics card in its class... no one talks about!
Thank you for covering this GPU. I've been wondering why no other tech channels have looked into it!
Its not available stateside for the best I can tell. Still no reason for as least a few more reviews from channels who do have the access. This was a great video.
I picked up the sapphire model from overclockers to replace a gtx 1080. It even came with 3 free games. So far it's been spot on and for the price it's a great deal. With any new card there's a few hiccups when it comes to the driver optimisation but that'll only improve. I've got a good undervolt with a little overclock and it doesn't get passed 68°c. Very happy with it.
It's amazingly good value once you sell on your old GPU.
i really enjoyed your "live gameplay" commentary, i definitely prefer this kind of benchmarks. id love to hear more dog stories as well =D
It's pretty much a 6600xt with better power and another 2gb vram, this is the next card I want to get! Appreciate this review!
I really like how you actually played when you recorded, the elden ring part was super funny
thanks :)
If you want to try checkout out some of the even weirder cards in the rdna 2 lineup, see if you can find the 6500xt 8gb. It apparently exists, and may be a weird comparison to the original one. Other fun cards include the 6600m, which is literally the laptop 6600 on a desktop card, apparently performing similarly to the desktop gpu.
I didn't expect them to make an 8GB version, if they'd done that from the start, it wouldn't have been so controversial.
@@ChrisD__ its a sapphire exculsive, probably not somethign amd as a whole is doing, and it seems to be nowhere to be found
Your videos are so chill and relaxing. The voice and tone are 2 big reasons for that.
The Sapphire Pulse version of this card has been available and in stock at Newegg in Canada for about six weeks for $500CAD which is $50CAD cheaper than a 3060Ti Founders Edition. I'm glad someone is finally looking at it.
glad to hear it is becoming more widely available after all
Man i follow you for a bit now and man i really enjoy your videos, they are informative and they have this early RUclips charme, like it seems these are made by a fellow lad from at home and i love that. ❤
I got the Sapphire model for 329.99 from OCUK. I seen the fighter on there for 299.99. Best value GPU that is just simply the best. I heard about it from Ancient Gameplays. When I bought mine it was 349.99 the price dropped the same day and OCUK refunded me the difference. Which is why I will always shop at OCUK.
Keep up the good work! Just I would like to see the power consumption figures on screen display if possible.
I have the 6700xt version, I got it at fairly cheap price while the 3060ti costed almost 15% more than 6700xt when I bought it. I primarily use it for high refresh rate 1080p gaming and so far it performs exceedingly well. If you don’t use ray tracing, this card runs all the new games at 90-120 fps at max setting (I keep Amd SAM on, that also helps in some games).
Recording your voice while playing makes the video more fun to watch!
I hope you keep doing this in the future :D
I have the 6600XT version of this card paired with R9 5950X and it works like a treat. I rarely see any slowdown. I love the simple, bland look of this card.
I'm so glad someone reliable made a video on this. I've been trying to convince friends to getting it instead of 3060ti but I have no experience with them and there's hardly any info online either
For anyone wondering, if your AMD 6000 series card has coilwhine then undervolting can help a lot with reducing that noise.
Idk why AMD overvolts their gpus so heavily at the factory. Probably for stability, but I was able to undervolt my ASRock 6700 xt by quite a bit, increasing boost clocks and lowering temps an impressive amount
@@videogamefreak221122what's your settings and what's your temp
Cheers for the review, after many days of research including this video, I just went ahead and bought this card.
Would be interesting to see how GPUs like this compare to older architectures too like Polaris and Pascal, a lot of people, myself included haven't made the jump to the newer series.
based on some superficial benchmarks I looked at, it seems to be up to twice as fast as the 1070 at 1440p
This is the mine! Finally speak about this video card! Lovely power
It would be awesome if you could include Power draw in your comparison as it seems to be pretty good on this card
6700 was first released as a non video mining card. It is the most power efficient if I recall correctmy
Recently got one of these today. Almost got a 6650xt for $300 at Best Buy of all places, but they had an XFX 6700 also available, and I decided it was worth the extra $30.
After seeing the announcement of the 4000 series and European pricing I was so pissed off at myself for not having bought this 6700 for 380€ at the start of summer... Now months later after staying with my struggling rx 570 the cheapest 6700 pricing in the Netherlands in slightly above 400€, so I just bought a 6750xt yesterday for 450 + 8€ shipping... can't wait to get my hands on it, although still feels a bit too expensive for what it is.
I'm also looking to buy something between 5700xt-6700xt from amd. new gen cards are definitely not for me since i do want a card that does not need nuclear plant to power it up.
Im looking into a 6700xt too but I want the price to drop a bit more. Maybe It never will since I see here everyone seems to be looking at 6700xts also.
LOL, return it asap and buy used 3080 for same price!
6750 is equivalent or better than 3070ti. Card may go down a bit over next month or two but would that have been worth waiting to save a few euro?
You did good.
@@pw5232 Here in Europe there's no 3080s for the same price. ESPECIALLY in the Netherlands. In Spain people are selling them for like 600 but here the minimum price is 700 second hand, which is pretty absurd for a 2nd hand card with a few months of warranty left that has been mined on. If prices drop I'm pretty sure I'll still be able to sell the 6750xt for 300€ at least since there's no new mid range or entry cards and buy a 7800xt or whatever.
Well done for speaking about this, all the big tech RUclipsrs are refusing to acknowledge this and for some reason seem to want to keep it secret.
Ancient Gameplays is awesome.
Do you think you can add the power draw on OSD from now on? These are times where electricity cost is significant.
Upgraded my gtx 1070 to the powercolor rx 6700, and got it yesterday so far love it :)
nice upgrade :)
Sapphire has two RX 6700 versions. Both require just one 8 pin cable.
oh really? didn't know that but thanks for the info :)
Thanx for reviewing my GPU! 😊 I was lucky to buy one for around 365 euro's! Very nice performance and I was really suprised how quiet the fan is!
I'd love to have one of these. Seems to be pretty good for something that is a laptop part in a PCIE frame.
The rx 6700 is a full desktop GPU, I think your talkinh about the rx 6400 xt
I was actually waiting for you to get this before I was gonna try it out.
I have been looking at one of these to replace my GTX 1060 6GB. Just debating whether to wait for the Ryzen 7000 series CPU's or just upgrade my R5 2600 to an R7 5700x
I just went from a 2600 to a 5600, and since I have a pretty decent GPU, the performance uplift was pretty shocking. I think you'd be really happy with the R7 5700X if you went that direction.
Wait for 7thgen cpu's and buy a 5700x then bc price will drop when 7th gen cpu drops
Look for a 5800x3D
Ok i never saw this card on amazon and other retailers in my area. :'D
I've got the 6700XT a while ago as my main GPU and it's a great card.
The rdna 2 gpus are significantly faster with Sam/rebar on. Could you test them with it on?
Well, I'm rather taken aback. I only EVER buy Radeon cards but I had no idea that this card even existed. This really sounds like one of AMD's OEM-only GPUs that'd been eventually released to the general market because I''ve only ever seen the RX 6700 XT until now.
Thanks for increasing our awareness because I'm willing to bet that this card's rather ingonito profile would make it an absolute bargain.
The old tales of a non XT 6700 we're true, i cant belive this
"Look at that selection of cars, perfect for a grenade"
This channel never fails to impress me with the smooth dialogues
It's a decent 1440p GPU, i think it'll struggle to hit 60FPS later on the generation given how similar specs wise it is to the consoles.
FSR will only get better with time tho :)
You need a decent CPU to pair with it. I had mine paired with a 5900X and was hitting 60 FPS at 1440P with every game I’ve thrown at it. Even Cyberpunk it ran well at 1440p high settings.
Great review as always!
I really wanted a 3070, hoping the prices would drop even more, to upgrade from the 1660 Ti, but I think I may pick up this GPU, or wait for RDNA3
Agree with you!
Playin while u record is so much better :D ♥ love it
After my experience with my EVGA 3060, and it ramping up to 77-80C under load, I will never buy a fairly powerful 2 fan gpu again. The cooling just isn't sufficient. My 3 fan 3070 OC only gets up to 70C at most.
Its not only about the fan, its also the pipe, look at powercolor red devil beat gigabyte 3 fan with lower fanspeed.
Hi, nice video. I like the change where you're actually playing in the video. Just a suggestion for your next videos, it would be nice to be able to see fan speeds and power draw in the msi afterburner overlay?
Why don't you show power consumption in game? I'd rather buy a card that heats up my room less in the summer, if the prices are all the same.
Can't wait for the comparison video!
IM LOOKING AT GETTING ONEEEEE
go for it :)
You'd be maybe the most wholesome, quaint streamer in the world 💛
I don't understand why most of the tech tubers call this "non xt" as it's already written as rx 6700
Because it's an odd card that was never actually announced by AMD.
Thank you. It's frustrating to search for a review of this card (because it's available in my country at a reasonable price) and find everyone and their grandchildren talking about the XT.
i really want a rx 6700
The coil whine is no joke. I have a PowerColor 6700xt Hellhound and when I first got it, I thought my 2tb storage HDD was suddenly going bad. The whine sounded like a dying spinning drive. I can't hear it with my headset on, but launching a game like Destiny 2 without my headset on scared me a little until I realized it was just the video card. Normal browsing, RUclips, ect, it's quiet.
It's pronounced VIN-YET
Yeah I didn’t think I was right 😂
Correct.
OMG someone has FINALLY covered the RX 6700 10GB!
Exactly what I've just started looking at/for even with the i5-12400f
Thank you for this
bro i was thinkiing of buying this from ebuyer but i got a used rx6600xt for 210 used instead, great video!!
great video definitely a adorable card to have even as a card to buy and keep as a backup until the new GPUs drop or the higher end current cards drop in price
Thank you for the video.
Im just waiting for this gpu to drop to 300-320€ in my country, can't wait to replace my 1060 6gb.
Thank you for this video dude :)
quick fact: the word "Vignette" at 11:41 is pronounced: Vin-yett
Been waiting so long for someone to show this gou some love...it's so cheap and it's practically a 6700xt if you over clock it💪💪
I think it's really cool that you're recording while playing
Very nice, I had been considering the xt variant of the card, but maybe I'll keep this in my considerations.
This card hands down the greatest value card in history. Thanks a bunch sir
hey dont sweat it! I believe Totalbiscuit said the same thing when doing his reviews! nothing wrong with a few mistakes ingame!
Upgraded from a 1660 super to this yesterday very happy :))
Hi man, big fan of your channel. I have a question that you might be able to answer or help with. I bought this card a few days ago after running a 970 for about 7 years. I have 2 screens with hdmi, the hdmi output works fine but i already tried 2 different DP to HDMI adapters to run the 2nd screen and no luck on any of the 3 DP outputs. Do you have any insight on this? Thanks in avance. Keep up with the good work.
Great content as always. I got this card recently and i have 12400. I play on 1080p but my temps go up to 76 degrees C! Got a fractal C so a well ventilated case with enough fans. Don't know what I'm doing wrong
I bought the sapphire version of this card and it has done nothing but impress me with its temps and performance. An absolute steal for the price I paid for it (375USD). Bought new life to my i7 8700k gaming system.
Hey man,loved the video. Btw,in terms of performance,not only the GPU,but the CPU or processor matters a lot too. So if it's okay to ask,what cpu are you using, man?
i got mine, its a 359 euro beast that rivals a rtx 3070 laptop version, whilst only drawing 110 watts @ oc and undervolt.......... such great performance
Thanks for the video, quite interesting card indeed
These are the type of cards we actually buy, the $2000 high end cards are overkill. Good video
I've never actually seen a stock 6700 for sale. My 6700XT is amazing, was well well well worth the wait to get it at a decent price, and it's already down like another $150, aruggh.
So this's a neat review!
Overclockers UK has the PowerColor & Sapphire versions and they vary between £300 & £380, similar priced to the 6600 (£260-330) & cheaper than the 6650XT (£375-400).
