AMD RX 6700 XT Review

Manual overclocking headroom for the RX 6700 XT is decent, despite the GPU clocks already being significantly higher compared to the RX 6800. Using AMD's driver-based software, I maximised the power limit at 115%, and could then increase the GPU frequency slider up to 2900MHz, with the memory set to 2130MHz.

This increased our real-world average clock speed by 285MHz, very nearly reaching 2.8GHz on the core.

As a result of this increased frequency, we saw an 8% boost to frame rates in both F1 2020 and Gears 5, when testing at 1440p. In Watch Dogs: Legion, we saw an extra 6%.

Meanwhile, power draw increased by 21W, or an extra 9% compared to stock behaviour.
