Long before the launch of “Big Navi” there were rumors that in addition to the graphics cards that had already been released, Radeon RX XT and Radeon RX 6800 XT a Radeon RX 6700 XT would appear. The well-known leaker Patrick Schur has now published alleged information on the short message service Twitter, which should give insights into the features of the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT.

According to the tweet, there should be two versions: The Radeon RX 6700 XT and the Radeon RX 6700. While the latter is based on the navigation system – 20 – XTL-GPU builds up, the RX 6000 supposedly on the navigation system – 22 XT GPU based. Both mid-range models should also be equipped with 12 GB GDDR6-VRAM be equipped what 50 corresponds to% more memory than NVIDIA’s current mid-range, the GeForce RTX 3070 (8GB) has to offer . With an appropriate pricing, NVIDIA would have to prepare for tough competition.

Furthermore, the new graphics cards should be significantly more energy efficient than the Radeon RX 6800 XT and the RX 6900 XT. The Radeon RX 6700 should only have a TPG of just under 150 W, the RX 6700 XT should come to 200 W. The bigger siblings are starting with the Radeon RX 6800 at 250 W, the RX 6800 XT and the RX 6900 XT even come to a TPG of 300 W.

In addition, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT allegedly with 40 Compute Units be equipped what 20 Units would be less than with the RX 6800. A release of the two mid-range graphics cards should take place in January, a price has not yet been named. Since NIVIDIA wants to bring out its new middle class card GeFOrce RTX 200 Ti and this for the 400, it can be assumed that AMD is based on this price and may even undercut it.
