AMD Radeon RX 6700 Specs Gaming, Benchmarks And Pricing

AMD Radeon RX 6700

RDNA 2-based AMD Radeon RX 6700, a mid-range graphics card with outstanding 1440p gaming performance. We will discuss an overview of its qualities, performance measures, and other relevant information.

Architecture and Features

  • The RDNA 2 architecture offers a 54% increase in performance per watt over the one that came before it.
  • 80 MB of on-die cache, known as Infinity Cache, lowers power consumption and memory latency.
  • Support for DirectX 12 Ultimate: Makes possible functions like variable rate shading and ray tracing.
  • PCIe 4.0 Support: Guarantees quicker speeds of data transfer.
  • Support for AV1 Decode: Makes video streaming more effective.
  • Performance is improved when AMD Smart Access Memory is used with Ryzen CPUs that are compatible.
  • Enhanced frame speeds with upscaling technique in AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR)

Advantages

  • Robust 1440p Performance: Provides fluid gaming in contemporary titles.
  • Effective Design: RDNA 2 provides better performance per watt.
  • Features-Rich: Adapts to contemporary technologies such as Smart Access Memory, FSR, and Ray Tracing.
  • Pricing that is competitive: Provides good value for the performance tier.

Disadvantages

  • Limited VRAM: For upcoming games with greater resolutions, 10 GB might not be enough.
  • In workloads involving ray tracing, Ray Tracing Performance lags behind its NVIDIA competitors.
  • The AI workload isn’t optimised for jobs involving machine learning.

Ray Tracing

The Radeon RX 6700 has 36 Ray Accelerators one per CPU unit to boost game and app lighting, shadows, and reflections. While midrange GPUs can ray trace, NVIDIA’s RTX series offers better RT cores and AI-powered DLSS.

On the RX 6700, ray tracing works effectively at 1080p and sometimes 1440p, but higher settings may require downscaling or AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) to keep frame

Finally, the RX 6700’s ray tracing enhances budget gamers’ and producers’ graphics.

3D Rendering

  • AMD HIP (Heterogeneous Interface for Portability) improves GPU rendering in Blender.
  • Several engines, including LuxCoreRender and Radeon ProRender, support OpenCL.
  • High-resolution textures, complex scenarios, and big models run smoothly on 10GB/12GB VRAM.

Blender Benchmarks (Blender 3.3+ Cycles Render)

Test SceneRender Time (RX 6700)
BMW27~50–55 seconds
Classroom~110–120 seconds
Monster (Heavy)~210 seconds

In CUDA-optimized renderers, these times are comparable to RTX 3060 12GB but slower than 3070/3080.

Limitations

  • Not CUDA/OptiX: Disables OctaneRender and Redshift, which need CUDA.
  • Multi-GPU configurations are slightly slower than NVIDIA for CUDA-optimized apps.

Video Editing

Editing Software Support

  • Great OpenCL/GPU acceleration, 4K timeline playback, and exporting in DaVinci Resolve.
  • Adobe Premiere Pro: Smooth editing and previewing; GPU acceleration, but encoding/export speeds below NVIDIA.
  • After Effects: Good timeline scrubbing and rudimentary motion graphics. Works nicely with light-to-moderate compositions.
