AMD RX 6700 XT Review

By using our GPU-only power data in conjunction with the 12-game average FPS data we presented earlier in this review, we can work out performance per Watt for each graphics card. This is presented as FPS per Watt.

As expected, performance per Watt for the RX 6700 XT is good, but definitely behind its nearest rivals. At 1080p, we're looking at a reduction in efficiency of 8% compared to the RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti, while that increases to 11% versus the RX 6800.

At 1440p too, the 6700 XT is delivering 11% less performance per Watt than both the 3060 Ti and the 3070, while it lags behind the RX 6800 by 15%. It's definitely a generational improvement for AMD, with perf-per-Watt up 22% compared to the RX 5700 XT, but it can't quite match its current-generation competitors.
