AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Review

"Delay is better than no lag," AMD's mantra is to go after the green giant NVIDIA when it comes to the graphics card war, after Nvidia introduced the second-generation RTX family, which was a huge leap in performance, both on a regular basis. performance. Or AMD ray tracing has taken over with the launch of its new card, which has continued to openly and openly compete with green camp cards for the first time in the top player card category.

 
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Review

Not only that, AMD provided us with this generation of ray tracing technology for the first time with the graphics card and the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT cards, although its performance is lower to be honest and it was disappointing compared to the plotting performance. from rays. Which is currently offered separately with its card, and does not offer technologies that help improve ray tracing performance such as DLSS, developed by Nvidia and achieved the second version with great results and many options that improve the experience of the ray tracing player, either get the highest frame rate and high quality At the same time.
 
Last October, NVIDIA released the RTX 3070 card, although it was difficult to obtain at the price it was supposed to be available, but it was one of the most important cards issued in history as we described it at the time as it is. A card that starts at $500, but was faster or offered the same performance as the brutal RTX 2080 TI that's been at the forefront of graphics cards for a full two years without competition.

The card cost almost half the official price of the RTX 2080 TI card at the time and was more powerful than it, but the conditions we are experiencing are due to the lack of cards in the market significantly and also when they are available. high prices. Due to the harsh manufacturing conditions after the Corona pandemic, as well as the mining frenzy, this sweet dream has turned into a nightmare for players.

But here today in this review we are not talking about that boring thing we have been talking about for a long time, but we will go through all that and talk about the card itself and compare it as if it were available in its normal state. The price is until it is back as it was so that dear reader can know the performance of the card and the opinion which is the most suitable card for you, today AMD returns after five months with the same logo I mentioned in the introduction to the review, with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, which is supposed to be the exact dominant card 1440p and the main competitor to the RTX 3070 card, if you find any on the market to buy.
 
What is the target resolution of the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT card?
 The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT comes with AMD RDNA Advanced Architecture 2 and is designed to deliver the performance you need in gaming.

The RX 6700 XT graphics card powers next-generation games with a powerful blend of ray tracing effects, but its performance still disappoints, as I mentioned earlier, compared to the green giant, regardless of whether it's primarily geared toward resolution support. or a 2K screen. With cache support, the new 12GB AMD Infinity GDDR6 memory delivers the best gaming experience with content creation performance for the perfect balance between work and play.

As games are more demanding today, more memory is needed to store and load large amounts of data, such as implementing ray tracing effects, along with the now popular 1440p screens, as well as raising the graphics configuration at your level. Many modern games use more than 8GB of VRAM, which is why the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card comes with 12GB.

But to be honest, this may be more useful in the future because games that exceed 8GB in VRAM consumption can be counted with the fingers of one hand because they cannot use all this data easily and can be encrypted in some way. Modify the graphic settings without losing any visual details, so that the memory size of 12 GB is still quite large, but there are no objections to its future presence.
 
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT

That's the same opinion I had in a review of the RTX 3060 three weeks ago, where the card came with 12GB of VRAM, but its actual gaming usage wasn't clear enough.

In any case, the card is supposed to perform better than the previous generation RX 5700 XT at 25%-30% depending on the range of games tested, and it's also supposed to stay put. Against Nvidia's RTX 3070. Our test results On the fourth page of this comprehensive review, you will be mostly explained rather than useless theoretical discourse.
 

 ما الذي يُميّز الجيل الجديد RDNA2

RDNA 2

The new generation RDNA 2 engineering cards have many improvements compared to the last generation of the company's cards, in terms of manufacturing accuracy, the new cards come with the same 7 nanometer manufacturing accuracy that the company used with the first generation of RDNA cards. , but with EUV manufacturing technology, which is somehow improved and refined. In addition to the architecture itself, AMD introduced a new architecture with completely unexpected differences in performance per watt.

On this occasion we did not enable Smart Access Memory or SAM technology in testing with the RX 6700 XT, which is a technology that only works with Ryzen 5000 processors and its job is to increase performance and improve frame rate in some games as we can see in the results for the RX 6800 and 6800 XT cards. The normal scenario is to use a previous generation AMD processor, as shown in the test bench above, which is the case if you are using an Intel processor. But the SAM functionality is excellent and provides additional frameworks for anyone who owns a new generation AMD processor.
 
The AMD RX 6700 XT already delivers performance that outpaces the next generation RX 5700 XT card by about 25-30% depending on the game, which is more than an impressive increase from just one generation running between the two cards. An important achievement for the red camp, but in fact this card does not appear to be stronger by a good margin than the previous generation as I mentioned in the introduction to the review, but it is on its way to compete and join. Peer-to-peer with the RTX 3070 card from the green field, which is why the card was primarily released.

Looking at the RX 6800, which is more expensive and also higher in specs and memory size, the card outperforms the RX 6700 XT by an estimated 9%, which makes sense given the price difference.

The results also showed that the RX 6700 XT card excels in some games and some graphics accuracy, especially open-world games that take advantage of the huge graphics memory and outperforms the RTX 3070 in some games and other resolutions, but I noticed that. The performance of the RX 6700 XT is a bit disappointing with the screen resolution. 4K, although it doesn't primarily target that, it's interesting to see that the RTX 3070 handles this resolution better with results, even though it doesn't primarily target that resolution either.

If we analyze the performance of the card at only 2K screen resolution, which is basically the target resolution since that card was launched, we will see that it can run all games at this resolution and at the highest graphic settings and also at frame rate exceeding 60fps, so if you are looking for that Basically, the card is an AMD RX, and the 6700 XT won't let you down and will do the job here to prove that it really is the card that masters this resolution.

More accurately, it can be said that the AMD RX 6700 XT card falls between the performance equation of the RTX 3070 and the RTX 3060 TI card, which is 10% faster than it, which is a good percentage. So the price here is what determines whether the card is successful or not, which is what we will talk about in the last and final part of the review.

Finally, when it comes to ray tracing performance, the gap widens, as green camp cards of course excel in terms of ray tracing by a good margin, as well as their support for technologies like learning technology. An improved version, for which AMD has not yet developed a similar technology.

As noted, only the AMD RX 6700 XT can provide the same ray tracing performance as the RTX 3060 and probably only in some 3060 TI games, so it doesn't quite come close to the revolutionary performance of the RTX 3070 "in comparison..." in ray tracing, on the Although the normal performance is similar, this demonstrates NVIDIA's superiority in its new generation of ray tracing, which marks the real beginning of those effects in the gaming world, while AMD is still slightly behind it.

We tested the temperatures by testing the card in a real usage scenario, and in our case, we ran the graphical test of Metro Exodus using the highest 4K setting to ensure that the full capacity of the card is fully exploited and reaching its limits in temperature and power consumption and after the test we record the highest temperature and the level of energy consumption generated.

As we can see from the graph, the card recorded a top temperature of 76 degrees Celsius while I was hard-pressing the card and playing at 4K resolution... which is a very acceptable temperature, why would I say acceptable and unacceptable good because it has almost the same temperature ratings for the high-performance chipsets So I would expect the temperature here to be a little lower.

Don't forget that this card is an AMD standard, so AfterMarket makers' chance of achieving heat rates lower than these is much better, and even with the standard versions, it can't be said that there are heat issues. .

In terms of power consumption rates, the card scored 230W during the same test, which is average and lower than its rival RTX 3070 in power consumption, so with a minimum capacity of 650, it will be working. The card is securely attached to the rest of the computer components.

The reviews took a completely different perspective as the specter of getting cards immediately upon issue or even after they were issued at their normal rates became prevalent. It's frustrating how far the industry has come nowadays, which is going through its worst moment. Despite the fact that she is "technically" experiencing her most memorable and powerful moments. Previously, gamers had cards with such graphic power, which now easily handle 4K screen resolutions and also at an affordable price "theoretically", but that's in case they actually sell for their real prices.
