AMD RX6700XT graphics card, the best game graphics card with 2K resolution.
In order to meet the real needs of these users, AMD introduced the AMD RX 6700XT, which is equipped with a brand-new game graphics card. This graphics card adopts the same Navi 22 core, RDNA2 architecture and 7nm process technology. At the same time, the large memory of 12GB is enough for all games with 2K resolution, and it is more than enough for ordinary 4K games. Let's take a look at the initial evaluation of the new AMD RX 6700XT gaming graphics card.
First, let's take a look at AMD's latest proud RDNA2 graphics card architecture. Compared with the previous generation RX 5000 graphics card, the performance of the new RDNA2 architecture is improved by more than 2 times, and the power consumption per watt is reduced by 50% compared with the previous generation. This improvement is huge compared with the previous generation RDNA architecture graphics card, and it is very challenging for the design of the internal architecture of the chip. In the graphics card market in recent years, such a large performance upgrade has almost never appeared. From here, we can see the leading position of RDNA2 architecture, and the new AMD RX 6700XT also adopts the latest RDNA2 architecture.
On the core side, AMD RX 6700XT also adopts the core code-named Navi 22, which is also commonly known as "Big Navi". Compared with the flagship AMD RX 6900XT, this core has been partially adjusted. Firstly, the number of optical tracking units was adjusted from 80 to 40, the number of stream processors was reduced from 5 120 to 2,560, and the number of transistors was reduced from 26.8 million to 17.2.
AMD RX 6700XT gaming graphics card not only supports ray tracing technology, but also supports the latest infinite cache technology. This technology uses large cache and bandwidth, which enables the graphics card to provide excellent performance when rendering games, access data quickly, and effectively improve the overall performance of the graphics card. The 6700XT is equipped with an Infinity Cache with an ultra-large capacity of 96MB, which is equivalent to 2.5 times the bandwidth of the equivalent 256-bit GDDR6. This performance improvement has an absolute performance improvement for our daily games, and the power consumption performance is lower. It is a very advanced graphics card technology at present.
Similarly, AMD RX 6700XT and AMD 5000 series desktop processors are equipped with intelligent access memory technology, or "SAM" for short, that is, intelligent addressing memory technology. In the traditional Windows system, CPU processor can only access a part of GPU memory at a time, which limits the fast data exchange between CPU and GPU. Unable to give full play to the performance of GPU, AMD's latest SAM technology can quickly exchange data between processor and graphics card, break through the bottleneck of data transmission, and improve the overall game performance of players 13% or more. This performance improvement is undoubtedly huge.
Since last year, according to the survey of professional organizations, users who play games with 2K resolution monitors account for about 44% of the total number of gamers. Compared with 1080P and 4K resolution, 2K resolution has become the best game resolution that most gamers will choose at present. However, players upgrade from 1080P resolution to 2K, which requires higher graphics cards. AMD RX 6700XT gaming graphics card has been launched.
Because the virtual currency market is extremely hot this year, the wave of "mining" has started again, which coincides with the epidemic situation leading to the reduction of global semiconductor chip production capacity. Recently, the price of graphics cards can be said to be one price per day. In terms of pricing, AMD RX 6700XT can be said to have made great efforts. The official guide price is 3499 yuan. From the official price alone, the performance of this graphics card should be close to RTX 3070 graphics card. It may be a little small in some games, and it is positioned in the middle end. Moreover, this graphics card is equipped with a large independent memory of 12G, so it can be easily qualified for all kinds of games with 2K resolution in performance.
Next, let's take a look at the appearance of the new AMD RX 6700XT:
From the front, the new AMD RX 6700XT graphics card continues the design style of the whole 6000 series graphics card. The front adopts double fan design, and the middle of the graphics card radiator is "R", which further emphasizes the radium dragon element. At the same time, the silver part of the graphics card radiator is made of aluminum alloy, which has very good texture and visual effect.
The fan of the radiator adopts the design of "axial flow" fan, which can greatly improve the air volume and speed of the fan, ensure the mute effect and stability of the graphics card fan when it runs at high speed, and further improve the heat dissipation performance of the graphics card.
At the top of the graphics card is AMD's "Radium Dragon" belief symbol. After power-on, the faith LOGO of the graphics card will be lit, and the red faith LOGO can better decorate the chassis.
In terms of power supply, this graphics card uses 8+6pin power supply, and it is recommended to use more than 500W power supply.
In terms of interface, AMD RX 6700XT has three DP interfaces and one HDMI interface, which supports DP 1.4 protocol. At the same time, the HDMI interface also supports the display output with 4K resolution at the refresh rate of 120Hz, so players basically don't have to worry about the display output.
The back of the graphics card adopts the whole aluminum alloy backplane design, which is very simple and stable, and can protect the PCB from deformation and bending. At the same time, AMD's public version is also generous in stacking materials, and the 10 layer PCB ensures the work of the graphics card.
In addition, this graphics card also supports PCIe 4.0 technology. SAM technology can be realized by PCIe 4.0 users with AMD 5000 series processors, and the bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 has been greatly improved compared with 3.0.
Performance Test: The Best Game Graphics Card with 2K Resolution
In the performance test section, let's take a look at the test platform we use. As for the processor, we use AMD Ruilong 5900X, the motherboard is ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero, the memory is Pirate DDR4 4000MHz 8Gx2 dual-channel memory, the radiator is 360mm water cooled, and the power supply is Jinhetian 800W gold medal power supply.

We can see that the running scores of the graphics cards FireStrike and FireStrike Extreme are obviously ahead of RTX 3070 and RTX 3060Ti, especially the FS project, which leads by more than 27% and performs well.
In addition, in the TimeSpy project, that is, DX 12 performance, AMD RX 6700XT performance is also excellent. In TimeSpy project, the performance of AMD RX 6700XT is basically the same as that of RTX 3060Ti.
Game performance test at 2K resolution;
Next, we selected several mainstream large-scale games on the market. Finally, at the resolution of 2K, AMD RX 6700XT can easily play most of 3A game masterpieces. In terms of performance, the number of game frames of this graphics card is close to RTX 3070, ahead of RTX 3060Ti.
Game performance test at 4K resolution;
At 4K resolution, RX 6700XT graphics card can basically meet the requirements of smooth running of games with more than 30 frames, and also meet the standards of smooth running of various 3A masterpieces. At the same time, on the game screen, the color is rich, which can run normally and smoothly, and there will be no tearing or smearing of the screen. From the performance point of view, the number of frames of graphics card and RTX 3070 is different, and it is almost the same from the frame number alone. The performance of RX 6700XT is basically between RTX 3070 and RTX 3060Ti, and the performance gap with RX 6800 is about 5- 10%.
Temperature and power consumption test:
In terms of temperature, when the graphics card is fully loaded, the graphics card temperature is 87℃. In terms of power consumption, the actual power consumption of this graphics card is 207 watts, and the full-load power consumption of the whole platform is 40 1 watt. It is suggested that users choose a power supply of about 800W to make the power supply work stably at the best conversion efficiency when playing games.
Summary: In terms of appearance, AMD RX 6700XT still continues the excellent design and workmanship of AMD graphics cards. Personally, I like the red faith sign lamp very much. At the same time, in terms of performance, the graphics card basically meets the demand of playing various 3A masterpieces at 2K resolution. Not only that, but also with the brand-new Radium Dragon "Chicken Blood" drive, it can realize one-button automatic overclocking and free "Bai Piao" performance, which is for DIY players who like tossing.
For most mainstream gamers, the same price and stronger performance are more worth buying than RTX 3060TI and RX 6700XT. However, due to the recent shortage frenzy, it is more difficult to purchase the original price. It is suggested that users not only need to wait and see, but also need to upgrade their graphics cards to test their network speed and hand speed.
Finally, this graphics card will be listed on the whole network on March 18, and various non-public graphics cards will also be sold at the first time. According to the official guide price, the price of this graphics card is 3499 yuan, and interested users will pay attention to official channels such as JD.COM and Tmall.
