Professional Reviews
6 reviews from 5 criticsThe AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT delivers strong 1440p gaming performance, often matching or exceeding the RTX 3070 while costing roughly $20 less. It runs hotter than Nvidia's equivalent but remains a compelling alternative for gamers seeking non-Nvidia hardware.

“The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is an excellent 1440p graphics card, bringing the RDNA 2 architecture to a slightly more affordable price.”
“While the MSI Radeon RX 6700 XT is an excellent graphics card, the extremely high price tag makes it almost impossible to recommend, and it will be even harder to recommend it after graphics card availability starts to normalize.”
“The Radeon RX 6700 XT is a performer for 1440p and 1080p but without SAM enabled or DLSS it lags behind the RTX 3070.”
“AMD’s Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card is a good graphics card for 1440p and 1080p gaming. It doesn’t handle ray tracing well, however, and comes with a too‑high price that makes a lot of business sense in today’s environment.”
