AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT up to 36% faster than the RX 5700 XT

As we get closer to the launch of the Radeon RX 6700 XT, more performance benchmarks have leaked early. Last week, we saw ray-tracing and 1440p benchmarks up against the RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti. Now this week, we have a fresh batch of RX 6700 XT benchmarks via the Ashes of the Singularity database. 

The benchmarks were initially found by @TUM_APISAK and then compared up against the RX 5700 XT using the same settings. At 1080p, the RX 6700 XT provides a 26 percent performance advantage at 1080p, a 33 percent gain at 1440p and is 36 percent faster than the RX 5700 XT at 4K in this benchmark. Averaged out, the performance uplift is 32% overall.

For further comparison, we've also found some RTX 3070 benchmark results running on the same settings and in similar systems. With a score of 9100 on the “Crazy_1080p” preset, and 8500 on the “Crazy_1440p” preset, the RTX 3070 comes in just below the RX 6700 XT at 1080p and 1440p, although the gap is much smaller using the “Crazy_4K” preset.

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT will be available at retail on the 18th of March, with prices starting at $479. Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru says: Are any of you hoping to get your hands on an RX 6700 XT later this week?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
