PowerColor Radeon RX 6700 (non-XT) Fighter Pictured, Confirms 6 GB Memory Size
PowerColor inadvertently put out press shots of the unreleased Radeon RX 6700 (non-XT) Fighter graphics card. The box design of the card clearly lacks the "XT" brand extension, and confirms that the SKU will feature 6 GB as its standard memory amount. The RX 6700 will also retain 1440p as its gaming performance target, although it remains to be seen just how much of a performance gap exists between it and the RX 6700 XT.
AMD's most recent driver release, the Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.3.1, added support for the "RX 6700 series," without singling out the RX 6700 XT, indicating that launch of the RX 6700 may not be too far away. We expect the RX 6700 to be cut down from the RX 6700 XT, possibly with a similar CU count as the RX 5700 (36 CUs). The memory bus width is unchanged form the RX 6700 XT, at 192-bit, but the memory amount is reduced to 6 GB.

"Intel please come and save us from AMD & Ngreedia. Lisa's & Huang's brains have been overtaken by greed."
A RX 6700 12GB should be around $400-420, so a 6GB model should be what? $380?
I really hope they do not release this card with 6GB memory around the $400 mark... I would rather have an RX 6600 XT 10GB model with a 160bit memory bus and smaller Infinity Cache at around $350.
And those are euros, which are worth more than a dollar.
All the higher up cards from both nvidia and AMD were not available, only for 'pre-order' at prices normally mentioned when setting up a space program...
I think tech sites should completely not mention graphics cards for at least a year from now.
GRAPHICS PROCESSOR Navi 23, CORES 2048, TMUS 128, ROPS 64, MEMORY SIZE 8 GB, MEMORY TYPE GDDR6, BUS WIDTH 128 bit
At least i'm hoping it would cost around 280 €, like the 5600 XT did.
You know what this means, right?
Funnily enough actual scalper private merchants are cheaper on the sidelines at a mere €1050.
What is even more retarded is that I could get an RX 6800XT cheaper in the same stores as probably those where not moving at all since the price had gone to the moon and beyond.If we get an RX 6600 XT 8GB with NAVI23 it will be between the RX 5700 & 5700 XT performance wise. Boost clocks should be close to the magical 3.0GHz mark.
If that launches at 249-279USD that would make it quite a good choice for 1080p gaming to be honest.
Then there is the possibility of nVIDIA releasing an RTX 3060 Super with a full die and memory-bus that could potentially have 8-16GB of VRAM smack dab between the RTX 3060Ti and RTX 3060 or around RTX 2080 performance levels if you wish.
...either way the RX 6700 with 6GB VRAM just looks silly.
- Added support for AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, RX 6700, RX 6600 XT, RX 6600, Lucienne APU integrated graphics
I would like that at that price, 8 GB is good enough for 1080p, and that performance for that price seems good for me.www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/12GB-PowerColor-Radeon-RX-6700-XT-Hellhound--Retail-_1402054.html
PS
The ironic part is that, actually, perf wise 6700XT is quite close to 2080Ti which was going for 1200+ just recently, oh and it even has 1 more GB of VRAM.
At 789 Euros a steal, in principle... :roll:
If the 6700 close the price at around $500 it won't be bad.
Anyway, as this product’s anticipated MSRP being 400 dollars (MSRP 3000+ CNY as I estimated to be sold in China), I’d better save money for a performance-segment one, but everything’s price going up these days.
6800 Aorus master available but for 9900NOK which is quite high but if you look for the prices in Norway all the 6800 are above 9k NOK.

Besides you've got plenty of 6700 XT available now as I see at proshop. Maybe you should take a look.
You've got sapphire nitro+ 6700 xt available now.

If you want to buy the 6800 you need to be hurry and when it shows up just click buy asap.
Komplette has it listed but I see these are gone already.
A lot of 6700XT models available on Proshop and other stores.
6700XT is simply priced too high. Should have been 449 tops, maybe even 399 to make it interresting.
Right now tho, every card sells regardless of price and performance so I doubt anyone cares before prices are back to normal.
Offer me 6700XT or 3070, and I would take the 3070 any day for sure. It performs 5-10% better in most games, uses less watts and even overclocks better.
6700XT is completely maxed out, OC gain is 1-2% tops, atleast 3070 can gain 4-8% depending on card/luck.
6700 6GB is probably decent for 1080p/1200p or even 1440p with custom preset. At 1440p not a single game uses more than 8GB. Most sit around 4-5GB. Top AAA titles can maybe hit 6GB maxed. Not counting the engines that allocate all VRAM, regardless of requirement (some people only look at VRAM usage instead of actual performance and minimum fps).
I'd not buy a 6GB for 1440p gaming, but 8GB will do fine for years to come at this res. 12GB is not needed. 12GB fits 4K better but 6700XT is complete crap at 4K. Just like 3060. Pointless.
Nvidia made some weird shit this gen, in terms of VRAM amount, and now AMD too, but personally I think 99.9% of 1440p (and below) users are fine with 8GB. 6GB too for most games. 4K gamers shold get 10GB minimum, if they want it to last more than a few years, but right now even 3070 does pretty well at 4K/UHD.
