AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Roundup Review – Referance – Merc 319 – Gaming OC

Test Setup

We’re mainly comparing the RX 6700 XT to the RTX 3060 Ti which is also aimed at the 1440 brigade, although naturally we’re including a few other cards above and below it to give you an idea of what you’re getting for your money.

Clock Speeds

The downside to any extremely new product is GPUz takes a moment to catch up. Our average clock speed runs show not only what we roughly expected – the Gigabyte and AMD cards perform similarly whilst the XFX is a little ahead – but also how insanely high the newest addition to the RDNA2 architecture can go. Averaging over 2.5 GHz on the GPU?! Madness. We like it.
