RTX 3060 Vs RX 6700 XT in 2023 - Which 12GB Card Wins? 

The 6700XT is AMD's best card for price-performance to date, in my opinion. I'm not biased, but the winner is clear here.

i don't get tired of watching videos telling me how smart i was buying a 6700XT

rx 6700 xt is killing it

Doing a price comparison as opposed to doing a series comparison is an amazing way to go about a review. The RX6700xt will be around for years and eventually become AMDs future version of the rRX580 8gb is now. A gpu that will outlive anything intel and Nvidia put out. Our last Nvidia gpu was a 1080Ti and even Nvidia admits that was a card so good they only released it in fear of AMD acting like Vega was going to be epic. The 3 gpus in our house currently are my 6950xt, a 6700xt and a 6650xt. We recently upgraded our 5 year olds pc from an RX580 8gb to the RX6650xt and I have to say it has been a very welcome surprise. The 6650xt feels so much better than a previous RX5700xt we had. AMD needs to focus on marketing and overall longevity , Nvidia needs to move on already and Intel is doing fantastic with driver updates and becoming more relevant. Thank you for the review. I need a catch up on your recent videos, I need to see if you have covered the 6650xt yet. At £200 it is a brilliant gpu.

Thank you for this review! The cards are similarly priced here, in Romania.

Thanks for making this, not surprised by the results but it's still fascinating to see!

Thank you for these videos. I genuinely enjoy your budget conscious content and that you are retesting these cards in late 2023. And you test without upscaling technologies which gives us much more realistic performance numbers. Keep up the great work 🎉

I would hope that the 6700 XT would bear the 3060, because 5700 XT was going head to head with it and in some cases beating it. Still does for a great price.

Helpful video! I'm firmly in the team red camp, but nice to see a money for performance comparison. Just picked up the RX 6700 XT for $309 US

Bought the RX6700XT late last year. Never have and never will regret buying it. I literally upgraded from my RX580. Videos like these have kept me on the best price-to-performance upgrade path since overclocking the hell out of my GTX460 or up-bin flashing my R9-270 :) GeForce FX5200 < 7600GT < 8600GTS < GTX460 20% OC! < R9270 flashed to 270X < RX580 < RX6700

great video, thx for sharing this.

woud've liked to see performance with upscaling included in the video

My recently purchased 6700 XT is crazy good, probably the best price to performance card in 2023 and early 2024

One of the best purchases I have made in the video card category is the RX6700XT 12gb. From reviews, I knew it would work good enough, but I never expected the power of this GPU. Playing in 1440 with it is the norm for me but, there's quite a few I can go 4K and get great FPS, and even better FPS with FSR. Just a video or two ago, I had made the comment that I would love to see you review it, or use it in a build. I feel like I got my Christmas present haha. Thanks for all your hard work, you are very much appreciated!

The 6700xt was a strong 1440p card a couple of years ago and is now a phenomenal 1080p.

Recently built a pc with i513400f n 6750xt and I'm over the moon. I upgraded from a 1050 laptop and also I bought everything on my own this time as I earn now so it felt really special.

I use the 6700 xt for vr and 4k/4k fsr2 quality setting gaming and it works great. Plays anything from half life alyx to Hogwarts legacy

Actually excited to see this

The 6700 XT is probably my favorite GPU of all time. My current 7900 XT is obviously much faster, but I loved the price to performance of the 6700 XT (got mine brand new for $279) and the utter rock solid stability of the drivers for that card. The 7900 XT is fairly stable too, especially compared to the glitchy drivers for the RTX 2070 I had before the 6700 XT, but it does have number of small niggles and quirks, mostly related to my dual monitor setup and going into/snapping out of sleep mode.

Hey, I really love your videos! I am interested in recording my own benchmarks with cheap GPUs, but I was wondering what recording software you use to record the games? Also does it have any effect on the performance?

People like to say the 6700xt is like new 580, but in-reality it fits more in the role of the new 1070, brand new it still is decently more expensive than the rest of low-mid range gpus, but not by a huge margin, and delivers notably better performance for the price while the 580 was direct competition of the almost low end midrange gpu from it's time, while the 6700xt still tails the 4060ti.

What’s interesting is despite the rx6700xt having a tdp of 240watts it usually settled around 170-185 in most games which was only 10-20 watts more power compared to the 3060 12gb.

I check the price on my local market and they do have similar price range, around $200-ish. I bought mine 3060 for a $193 last month and there's actually a 6700xt that is a 2 dollar cheaper but considering the power draw, the size of the gpu and aesthetic (the card had no backplate) I decide to pick the 3060 as that is always my intention in the first place.

Got a 6750XT for $340 was cheaper than my 5700XT was in 2020. AMD has the midrange on lock now

Im thinking of switching to an amd platform and would like some advice. I currently have a 1660super but im debating if i should get an rx 6650xt / rx 7600 or stick to nvidiq and get a 3060. My target is to play at 1080p 165hz but idk

I’d love to see a comparison with the Titan Xp. It also has 12gb of vram. That can also be bought for leas than the price of these 2 cards (I got one recently.

Lovin my RX 6700 XT! Paired with my 5700X

bought it last month, happy to have chosen it

Good video

I copped my 6700 for $200 not long ago and it crushes. So happy I found it and that it’s in the available. range for the new update as well.

Hi, could you include re4 remake in your benchmarks? I found It very vram heavy and It would be nice to see how various cards perform

Can you tell me ur pc speace during this test which motherboard processor ram & other parts please

I have a 2012 build Lenovo desktop and used the 1060 with the 430 watt power supply. It ran good. I recently brought a xfx force 6650xt and new 600 watt power supply and it runs great as the best 1080p card. I couldn't use a three fan GPU due to the old size Lenovo case.

Interesting video

Bit of a price difference here for new models at their cheapest. The 3060 12GB is $429 AUD (PNY XLR8 Gaming Verto) and the 6700 XT is $538AUD (Sapphire Pulse). The 8GB RX 6650 XT is a closer competitor in price and performance at $399 AUD (Powercolor Fighter), despite the lower VRAM capacity.

Comparing by price point is very much a good idea. If you're same level performance is a price point higher that kinda matters to most people. Including me, I'm poor(I financed my graphics card interest free also included starfield) I make enough to pay my bills and basically nothing else. I'm also not planning on replacing my gpu, rx 6800xt, for at least 4 years.

hey how about you show some bench marks with the new frame gen drivers on AMD and older Nvidia cards im gwetting over 100fps on Forza Horizon 5 qith only a 6600xt

question for ya do you sell the gpus you buy down the track?

I'm thinking between these two graphica card, but as I need GPU for productivity first, gaming second, 3060 is a way to go!

Would love to see FSR and AFMF against DLSS and frame generation

I recently bought the RTX3060 12GB and RX6700xt as well. Crazy the 6700xt is a better card, but was costing less than the 3060. I'll use one in my new personal rig or use for customer builds. Either gonna do the brand new i9-9900k I have on hand or i5-12600KF.

RandomGaminginHD, it would be interesting to see if modern low-end GPUs, like the RX 7600 and 4060 are hobbled by the lack of PCIe 3.0 on classic CPUs like the i7 2600k. The PCIe x8 GPU bus width could be very problematic in a version 2.0 standard. Apparently, the i7 3770 (and 7-series chipset?) enabled PCIe 3.0. (you don't get PCIe 4.0 until 11th gen, like an i7 11700k, so that's kind of irrelevant for low-cost builds...)

Which would be best for streaming?

I have the RX 6750 XT in my build pared with the Ryzen 9 5900X. Best build I have ever owned. No plans to upgrade for many years to come lol.

Would you mind if you do a direct comparison between RTX 3060 ti & RX 6700 XT?

You should introduce some of the new Alan Wake game as a benchmark, considering it's the new actual next gen game, maybe some Lords of The Fallen as well, it would be nice to see how gpu's fare against actually current games, I love the content don't get me wrong, but most of these games are pretty old or built on old engines.

In my place, used prices of RX 6700xt are closer to that of 3060 ti and 3070

I use the RX6700 XT for a year now and I'm really happy with the performance in 1440p. I upgraded from the GTX 1070 which was also a very good card, maybe one of the best from Nvidia considering price and performance.

Out of curiosity why use the 7500F as a cpu benchmark when you own the 5800X3D and I assume own a 7800X3D for a benchmark like this. When I checked it out I realized that something was up when you showed starfield at 63 fps medium 1080p but I was seeing near the same when I was at 4k. So I went back to the entrance of akila and sure enough I'm getting 55 fps medium at 4k. I'm not saying that people shouldn't buy a 7500F. Especially when I set it to 1080p medium and it was at an average 82 fps.

you should do a video on the 6800 mate they can be picked up for under £400 for the price their performance will surprise you mate compared to other cards at that price range

Thanks for video Do you think you can add the fan % speed for future videos? yeah yeah I'm the temp guy

I want to see that rtx 3070 vs 6700xt video ;) ;)

I got an RX 6800 last year and tends to beat out the RTX 3070 by a small margin. Nice having 16 GB of V Ram as well.

I have ryzen 5 5600g and 650watt 80plus bronze psu , is psu enough for Rx 6700xt

The RTX 3060 was eaten from A to Z by the RX 6700 XT.

nice, this comparison is more useful than one would think; as the 12GB variants of 3060s are often very overpriced. Hopefully this will prevent some people from thinking the 3060 12GB is a peer card just because it's priced as much as a 6700XT.

Cool video as usual, but i'd like to note that EVERY game tested has DLSS as an option, which is generally considered to be better than FSR, so yeah

Ooo nice one. I'm gonna rebuild my old PC (i7 2600k era build 😢 + r9 290), with 6700xt. It's cheap for its price ( around 205$ used, unit only). Man, GPU prices are too much for third-worlder (+62). Bought my used r9 290 full sets for 365$ in August 2014 (the original user bought it in Feb at ~485 new). Nowadays for similar money (500$) you only get rx 7700 xt (new, used high-end gpu is very rare 😢).... Can't wait for the Chinese to enter the GPU market.

Got the 6700 XT a couple of weeks ago, and it is an absolute beast. I had purchased an a750, which worked well on games, generally speaking, but was buggy with my 1440p monitor. I do not regret the replacement purchase at all. Edit: I will say, though, the a750 does outshine the 6700 XT in terms of recording/rendering. The 6700 XT can do hardware acceleration, but the end results are often much larger file sizes than Nvidia or Intel offers. So, for now, I'm keeping the a750 for any rendering I need to do--and maybe check in on firmware updates to see if the bugginess with my monitor becomes less of an issue.

Did you had SAM on? in almost all games, amd CPU and GPU combined with SAM turned on, can get a loottt of fps

I just bought a used gigabyte rx6700 xt for 220 dollars and it also had 1 year of official warranty remaining One of the best purchases ive made and goes well with my 5600x and with SAM enabled it performs really well

Thinking about buying PC but ones witu ry6700xt are more expensive honestly just want to play some new games since my current one can play only up to 2014/15 games. What yall think should i be geting one that fit budget more for just casuall gaming or spending more for rx6700xt i dont care about having 170 or 150 fps just want to play games without my pc catching fire

There is/was a free Assassins Creed game for Black Friday. I think Mirage is the new one. Have a 3060 12gb. Am impressed by 7800XT and 7900XTX, only AMD GPUs I own. My friend got so much mileage out of his RX580, way better than my 1060 3gb same era (prebuilt I upgraded). Am a bit curious about pairing with my older machines if I should shuffle around or acquire more gpus. It's fun seeing the performance with a simple upgrade.

Can we do the 4070ti, Vs a similar priced AMD card. Cheers mate. Would be amazing. As I know the 4070ti is priced very poor, But may be found cheaper on the used market?.

Thanks for the 3060 vs 6700 XT head-to-head! Both cards are great either way you go, but for 1440p AAA gaming it's the 6700 XT that excels. The 12GB of VRAM for the 3060 is only now coming into play in 2023 after it bizarrely received criticism from some reviewers and pundits upon release. Anyone who has a 3060 today should be laughing the loudest. I actually won an RTX 3060 in a competition back in 2021 but never got the chance to use it as I was building a PC during the Great Parts Shortage. Skip ahead to April of this year and I **finally** completed the PC build after selling the 3060 for a 6750 XT. Nice to see what I could have gamed with vs the performance uplift over the previous card.

I bought my 12 gig 3060 for 258 brand new. It’s really all I need and if anything it’s overkill for me. I mostly play smaller games and occasionally a triple A game.

I've been experiencing a lot of stutter with the 6700 XT. Have you experienced anything like it? It feels almost like the games are generating shaders, but it's not an issue I noticed with my previous GTX 1070. Any ideas?

I've got the RX 6700XT when it was released and i'm still very happy with it. I'm having a RTX 3060 8GB version lying around, if you want to test both cards in a duel. :')

please compare with recent 3070m !!!

Only got a 6600XT which is much closer to the 3060 performance wise but, annoyance with a lack of certain hardware features aside, it's been perfectly good so far.

do an rx 7600 and rx 6700xt comparison!

But which one is better for video editing?

Built a new computer today with a i9 12900KS 347.00 thought that was a good deal so it was time to build.

I think its impressive gains made up on RT for RDNA2. Score one for the AMD driver team (for once lol)

In these economic times, most people dont have the money to always be on the bleeding edge of tech. Please keep up these types of videos detailing the best price-to-performance for the budget-conscious.

Is this card good for 3d rendering ?

hey RandomGaminhd what do you use to get you fps on your screen

Is ray tracing enabled?

I just went through this decision 2 days ago building a rig for a friend. Decided on the 6700xt brand new for $309 US. After watching this video I am glad I went AMD for this one.

Im interested in the 4k performance. Building my friend a 4k pc and looking at the ryzen 5 7600 w/ 6800 xt

i got a 6700xt and had nothing but problems for months. was able to return it. im glad other people are able to use them without issue and benefit from their good value.

What is going on with the Assassin's Creed footage? Both cards seem to be glitching out the character models.

Just bought a pc with a 3060 in it for my gf, £800 for a 10600k z490board 16gb ram 850w psu dark rock 2 cooler and some peripherals, good price? What price did I pay for the 3060 technically?

Got ultra lucky with an asrock 6700xt Spectral hellhound refurb for 260 at microcenter. With my midrange cpu build being able to confidently play 60 fps vsync @t 1440 on my 4k TV for BFV, 2049,Remnant2, Mw3, Borderlands 3, pretty much anything I throw at it. If you've got about 300 to throw at a gfx card this is definitely your bang for your buck.

One friend of mine bought a used 6700 XT for like $180. That’s an insane amount of fps per dollar

How does the 3060 12GB hold up against the RX 6700 10GB variant?

6700XT is a beast, I've had it just under a year from the 1660Ti and it's been great. I'll probably only upgrade it when GTA 6 for PC releases.

My GPU is RTX 3060. I see a video about RTX 3060, I click on and watch it

I have an RX6700XT Red Devil; it is pulling less power in the same (frame locked) game than both the RX5600XT and the 5700XT; and runs with the fans off at these settings, unlike the other two where you can hear the fans spinning up in more crowded areas. How much lower?? Well, even with the best power tuning I could get on the 5600 and 5700XTs, the system regularly hit a peak of 220-250watts from the wall; the 6700XT hasnt exceeded a system total of 200 watts, at much higher detail settings. CPU = Ryzen 5600X

I'm using a 5600g. Is the 6700 xt a good choice for me?

I bought rtx 3060 because i was looking for white card. The vision one is more appealing than the rx 6700xt hellhound and i found the rtx on cheap. I don't play on high framerate anyway because my monitor still 75hz. It looks cool on my white build tho.

Comparing based on price instead of SKU makes more sense in real world scenarios when talking about shopping for a used card

yesterday i trade my rtx 2060 to 6700xt btw and i love this card 😍 but i still have too upgrade my cpu cause is botneck (9400f) i will upgrade to 7500f like you 😁

Please make the 3070 vs 6700 XT comparison soon, I'm thinking about buying one of these as a upgrade to my 2060S

I Upgraded like 2 years ago from a 1070ti to a 6700Xt... Both have similar wattage but 6700xt has like 2.5x perfomance... Also, adrenalin driver is cooler than nvidia's panel...

If you pair Rx 6700xt with an i5 13400f/ r7 5700x or higher for both you will get some years with quality gaming experience(At least in 1080p).When i purchased my 6700xt,i had an i5 8600k and in some games in 1080p the cpu bottlenecked the gpu.I upraded to an i5 13400f and the experience was a huge step forward(got a boost of 30 to 50 fps in majority of the games and no stuttering).If you want a good gaming experience remember that not only the gpu needs to be upgraded,keep in mind for the rest of the components (even the power supply)

I just bought an open box 6700 XT yesterday for $274 USD... it still has a lot of fuel in the tank for the next few years ... I call that a win

i have a 3060 overclocked from the factory and its more than okay for the types of games that i play. i dont think my processor cant handle a more powerful card since its a 9th gen type of processor. its much better than my previous card which was a 1660ti btw, i dont care about raytracing or lumens

A closer competitor to the 6700 XT is the 3060 Ti

6700xt crew check in
