AMD’s Radeon RX 6700 XT launches today. Unfortunately, by the time you read this, there’s a good chance that it’s already sold out. All of the best graphics cards that launch these days sell out within minutes, if not seconds, due to stock shortages. If you are lucky enough to find an RX 6700 XT in stock, you should probably jump on the chance to buy it.
The RX 6700 XT is built for 1440p gaming at max settings. It’s the fourth member of the Radeon RX 6000 series and slots in just under the Radeon RX 6800 in terms of performance.
The RX 6700 XT has 40 compute units, 2,424MHz game clock, and 96MB Infinity Cache. It has 12GB of GDDR6 memory and has PCIe 4.0 support. It will be easy to connect PCs with the new GPU to the best computer monitors since the GPU supports DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 (with support for 4K@120Hz or 8K@60Hz).
Many gamers find 1440p gaming to be the sweet spot between high framerates and high resolution. The RX 6700 XT looks to be an excellent graphics card for that segment of gamers.
IF you can’t find an RX 6700 XT on its own, you may have better luck purchasing one within a prebuilt PC. HP recently announced that the Omen 25L and 30L will have options powered by the RX 6700 XT.
