Radeon RX 6700, 6700 XT & 6750 XT users club

XT power limit is definitely more reasonable at stock, that's for sure.

Seems like the PowerColor card also has a reasonable stock power limit. XFX set it to 138W which is stupid lol. It's made worse by the fact its a 3 slot cooler with TWO 8 pin connectors. Man.

+15% is 158W which to be fair is about all you need, but there's always MPT.


If you wanna look up when it actually appeared, you can look up "Nashira Summit". They just pushed it to the consumer market a full year and change later. Weird.

HWInfo64 actually identifies it as Nashira Summit too.

That's what it says to me:

Weird how late that was released (at least to the consumer market). Never even knew that it exists before I saw Steve's video of it (I have the XT version of this card)


Here in Finland there's only Sapphire's Pulse cards of RX 6700
being "only" 120chf lower than what i paid for my Powercolor Red Devil RX 6700 XT, i guess that make mine the "ultimate 1440/1620p bang for buck card"? nope ... still not loving/needing 4K ... not until i go above 32" ... mabe on a 40"+ ... but 32" fine with "3K" :laugh: (Skyrim 1620p steady 60fps is enough for me ... not that Skyrim like FPS above 60 tho ... physics engine yaddah yaddah ... et caetera)

that aside Powercolor became my favorite brand :D

not even OC'ing that thing ... nor fine tuning (~122w max 61° max hotspot ... yeah not needing for now :) )


no Nashira either here, damn ;)

This Fighter does have a crappy cooler, but on the other hand I have now a good ventilation and I play with headphones on, so it's not the end of the world :laugh:

Personally I wanted a 4K monitor already back in 2015, it took 7 years for me to get one :D

ah ... i know that feeling ... (not anymore tho ... the Red Devil cooler is whisper quiet)

that being said, the Powercolor Fighter is also an excellent card anyway ;)

well 4K TV i do want ... since a long time even in 32" ... but Pc monitor ... nah never been interested since my sweetspot is 32" i don't need more than 2880x1620p (or 2560x1440p in average joe metrics :laugh: )

my previous monitor is the one i use for Youtube on my Mi TV Stick, which is a Philips 1080p 27" 1ms TN (i prefer IPS 4ms tho ) which was a freaking bang for bucks monitor when i bought it (120chf )
 
think only the non-XT 6700 is Nashira Summit. I think it's a cool name :p
if it's so, then yeah it's a cool name imho too

also for the 2560x1440p resolution ... i just noticed that the horizontal pixel count equal the core count of the RX 6700 XT :laugh: i guess that's why that card is a 1440p beast :laugh:
a "coincidence? I DON'T THINK SO!" moment :laugh:

although @Kissamies proved it to be 3840x2160p card nonetheless ;) (400 pixel short in vertical tho hehe ... but close enough)

btw Nashira or otherwise Gama Capricorni is a star in the Capricorni constellation
"It bore the traditional name Nashira, derived from the Arabic سعد ناشرة sa'd nashirah "the lucky one" or "bearer of good news""
yeah a lucky one indeed ahah.

Maybe not everything at highest settings, but on most games, the differences between high to ultra are almost non-existent. Also FSR helps if needed :)

Normal 6700 is also pretty good at 1440p. To be fair I've only played Borderlands 3 (100+ fps with Volumetric Fog on medium and everything else maxed out) and RDR2 (84fps ish avg with a mix of ultra and high) at 1440.

Before having this card I had the 480 with this same monitor. I definitely can play more games now :P

that's about the same stellar upgrade i had from my GTX 1070 to my 6700 XT :D

definitely worth it.

oh,

Also, this is the cooler XFX decided to bundle with a card they put a 138W power limit on. Talk about overbuilt.

At least you can do +15 PL for 160W or MPT for anything else. To be fair, 160W is plenty for a 6700.

yep overbuilt just like the Red Devil ... well XFX and Powercolor are kinda my go to for ATI/AMD cards (i had a XFX 7870 back in the days )

but soooo goddamn efficient and sexy (specially with the 2x8pin Lian Li Strimer in white, which i use without the RGB addon, i have enough white lights in my Panzer Max anyway)

anymore would be overkill hehe

This cooler just looks so underperforming :D

 
Why and why not. 6800+ cards have those driver issues etc., we don't have.

A mod already moved this thread here as it was accidentaly in a wrong subforum, so I guess that it was kinda of a blessing.
we do? my 6800 xt has had 0 issues since I got it, and I am even overclocking the snot out of it.

That issue has probably been fixed now.
 
I just realized the 6700 XT doesn't have the (Navi 22 XL) (would be XT but yes) part on the actual GPU name :P

Had set mine to 185w and it was self boosting to 200w!! Which is fine by me.

Ran all the benches, it's back in the box for now.

But I gotta say, that for a lot of benchmarks, the 6600 (non XT) isn't far behind the 6700 (non xt).

Have to slap the 6600 back in and see if power increase helps that card too. Both XFX cards!

Afaik on Time Spy you can get the same score as a stock 6700XT if you push power limit to 200W.

But yeah, most benchmarks have them rather close. Not really the case in games, but also the 6700 and the 6650XT cost about the same too (~310 usd)

question, what was your hotspot delta when in superposition or any other long benchmarks? I'm getting a hilariously big delta (63C edge, 87C junction) if I push 170W for too long, stays there tho. On Metro Exodus with RT it stays at about that temp for hours on end.

Paid more for mine, the prices seem to be dropping.

Paid 355$ with tax (in store) for the RX 6700. On sale from 359$ to 329$. Best buy actually.

6650XT is a really decent card though. You're right, it's really close to a 6700 performance.

Gonna grab a 6400 soon maybe. See how that performs compared to the 6500xt. Great 1080P card though! I was impressed.

I paid 329 before tax, 424 after tax. South America is truly a wonderful place for getting taxed to oblivion!

At least I don't live in Brazil or Argentina (60% tax lol)

Oh not quite that hot. My ambient temp on average is around 7-8c. The fans didn't kick on with most benchmarks or I had manually set it to 65%.

I think the hottest I saw when paying attention was like 74c hot spot and around 58c core.

I've found putting a fan on the back side by the power connectors helps lower that hot spot temp a little bit.

I think the 6700 is a better buy at a similar price for those 2GB more of VRAM at 1440p gaming tho. Borderlands 3 uses ~9.4GB of VRAM here.

Nice. The 6500XT is honestly a nice little card ONLY if you have a PCIe 4 system, tho. Kind of niche for the price point.
