- RX 6700 XT vs RTX 3060 vs RTX 3070 - Which Comes out on Top?
I had a chance to grab an RX 6700 XT for under $300 USD and wanted to see how it does in comparison to the RTX 3060 and decided to throw in the RTX 3070 as well!

These are some awesome comparisons! I personally sold my 3070 and went to a 6800 XT for that better VRAM buffer. My experience has been great with it, and I hope that more customers can see this and make better decisions according to their own priorities.
Looking at an upgrade from my Rtx 2060 in order to play some newer games that just came out and games coming out (like Diablo 4, forza and starfield) with better graphics and smoother game play at 1080p. I have an evga 600w 80+ gold power supply and can’t afford to upgrade my power supply along side a graphics card, it has to be one or the other at the moment. After doing some research I was going to risk it with a 6800xt but after more research I have discovered the 6700xt. Would you suggest getting the 6700xt or risking the 6800xt with my power supply?
@@paulhord8081 if you only play on 1080p and did not have plan to upgrade the resolution in the near future, go with 6700xt.
@@paulhord8081 I have a 6700xt, it does everything great, you will not be disappointed.
@@paulhord8081 Gpu manufacturers recommend more psu power than what you actually need. Your 600w psu will be fine. You just got to look up gpu tests for power spikes (highest number of wattage consumption). Then you just add in rough estimation of the wattage used by the rest of the pc parts (mainly cpu and cooler/s), and if the wattage number is smaller than the rating of psu, you're good.
@@paulhord8081 I upgraded my 2060 to 6800 XT, At $500, u will not be disappointed....
Very helpful video for those that are deciding for a mid range GPU these days. I went with a rx 6700 xt a few weeks ago, and i also got The Last of Use part 1 with it. Great preformance for the money i payed.
That’s great to hear! Glad to see they are still offering it for free. I also heard the game has gotten much better since launch with recent updates
I went with 6700 XT from R9 Fury. (362 euro) brand new As it's cheaper by 100 euro vs 3070 (495 euro) . 3060 was 306 euro. Got free game Starfield premium edition with 6700 XT .
Well worth it
At the moment you even get Starfield premium edition for free if you buy a 6700 xt :"D
I have the 5800x and 6700 xt and couldnt be happier. All I do is light gaming (mainly rpg's) and watching video's. I have FAR more than I need. Just slapped in 32 GB ram and sitting on 9 TB HD space total. Pretty sure this system is as good as I'm ever going to take it, next system I buy will likely be an AM5 system. But anyone here for advice about the 6700 xt, I say go for it, the card is amazing imho.
My roommate has the 3060 paired with an 11900k and I beat him in almost everything, for comparison.
When I was willing to upgrade my venerable plain GTX 1660 (not Super, not Ti, not OC) the first option was the RTX 3060 12 gb. Then someone here at CZcams asked "why don't you..." and it was the beginning of my final decision purchasing the RX 6700 XT instead. The benchmarks didn't lie and the prices were in the same level. I'm quite happy about what I decided. The card, Sapphire Pulse variant, is great and for the 350 euros I paid it came bundled with RE4 remake, which maxes out the 12 gb VRAM in ultra settings in 1080p!
I'm in the same boat but with a gtx 1660 Super, I bought the rx 6700 xt now I just need to install it, how has the new card treated you?
@@jackbro655 I don't know why but the boot NVME under the card broke when I swapped both GPUs. There was some evidence of overheating.
I used the other port for the new M.2
@@jonpeleyso would u still recommended the card or should I go for the 3060
@@Ndujlz I definitely think that the AMD is better. With the 3060 Ti they would be on par in many games and the 3070 is superior.
Thank you sir. You are the first tech blogger, who does NOT include all that ”Bells and whistles " technologies into testing. And that's awesome.
This is one of the best YT channel I found it today reviewing pc hardware. The most important thing is at the end of the video you have a proper conclusion. Love it.
Thanks so much!
In the market for a new CPU and GPU right now. This was extremely helpful and exactly what I was looking for. I‘ll be going for a 5700X and RX 6700XT.
That’s great! Glad to help
thanks for the video!
thanks for the breakdown
Just bought a new 6700XT for my firt PC build, I'm excited to see how it goes.
Either way you decide, you’ll have a great enjoyable gaming experience, quality graphics and both GPU manufacturers offer good enough streaming codecs etc for any streamer to get their online career started!
Nice video :) I have a plan to buy this 6700 xt . My current mobo is B450 tomahawk max 2 i have a 750w falcon fgm supply i hope is this will fit.
All depends on your GPU model you choose and your case
Hey danny glad to see your growth on you tube.I bought a rig frrom you a few years ago in Surprise Arizona.I entered you to win a 4060 rtx card on Nvidia Geforce.Good luck man.Thanks for the great videos.
Hey! Thanks so much. Glad to see you’ve stuck around and enjoyed being part of the community.
A few months ago I upgraded from a 1050 ti to a 6700 xt. I chose this the 6700 xt because I saw many reviewers recommend this card.
The graphics are amazing. Fps is amazing. Temperatures are amazing. The quiet fans are amazing. I love the amd control panel.
BUT, This is why I would NOT recommend my video card. I have a sound issue since day one. The sound in games will cut off and on 30 to 50 times a minute when it's bad and only up to 15 to 30 times a minute when it's better. Sometimes it will happen several times while just watching a video other times it won't. I searched the problem and found it to be kind of wide spread. If a youtuber doesn't experience an issue with a part then they are oblivious and proceed to recommend it. They never research possible problems with a part before recommending it. This is why you shouldn't take recommendations from a small collection of "reputable" reviewers. The sound issue is widespread and has been around since before the 6000 series. It is not all models and not all 6700 xt, but it is spread over multiple brands. Since this is a widespread and long lived issue AMD has been well aware of it yet has not fixed it. I also believe that AMD will never fix it because they either can't or won't. I believe this because the problem is not listed anywhere on their website as a known issue and it is no where to be found in their support or forums yet I've posts everywhere else on the internet about it.
I've tried every potential "fix" that have worked for others I could find on the internet and there are many. I am not a pc novice. I am very comfortable with using ddu and installing drivers properly. With the internet disconnected to prevent Windows from downloading more drivers, I've clean out all brands of audio and video drivers from my system and disabled the other devices in the device manager as well. I've tried other reported fixes such as resolution changes, overclocking and underclocking the card, changing sample rates and bit depths and exclusive control settings, changed to better hdmi cables, some registry tweaks, tested power supply, tested pc ram, etc. etc. etc. Sometimes the fixes seem to improve the problem for a while but not for long. Someone asked why I don't just connect the pc built in audio and forget about it. Sure, I did. I had to do it because the sound issue is like like chinese water torture. I bought new ten foot audio cables and connected them. But why should I have to do that and why should I have to forget about it? I had absolutely zero sound issues with my little old 1050 ti. It just worked. It even still worked pretty darn good when I was too lazy from time to time to clean install new drivers. I don't want to have to pay Nvidia hundreds more dollars for the same performance. Oddly everyone seems to agree that the cards themselves are not defective. I don't know if the issue is compression, codecs, acceleration, conflict with windows, conflict with other hardware, or something else. If someone has a fix for this issue I please respond. I was set to become an AMD fan boy too, but at this time I cannot recommend AMD to anyone.
then what you recommend, intel gpu? JUST BUY SOUNDCARD BRO
@@CJ-wr7iz I recommend video cards work as intended, work as advertised, which is why people buy them with their hard earned money. If people are expected to buy extra parts because the gpu doesn't work properly they should have advertised that. That would basically mean you are spending as much money as you would for an nvidia card which can play sound properly with no extra parts needed. That makes Nvidia better and AMD no bargain at all. That is what your basically saying
У меня было в пользовании 2 карты от AMD, это RX 6600XT Nitro+, карта меня разочаровала, на первой карте проблем не было кроме как высокой температуры hotspot, средняя температура чипа была 72 градуса при довольно таки не тихой работе кулера, но hotspot был 100 градусов. Во второй карте была проблема другая, температура hotspot была ниже, но была проблема с черным экраном, когда экран уходил в спящий режим, после этого не происходило просыпание компьютера, я работаю за компьютером, приходится часто отходить, и как же это раздражало, проблема исправлялась в реестре. Но зачем мне что-то еще настраивать, когда я отдаю деньги за карту? Продукция AMD нравится, но проблемы с драйверами постоянные сильно угнетают. На данный момент пользуюсь invidia.
The card you selected for the cheapest 3060 appeared to be the 8gb version and not the 12gb card. Just a heads up for you and any viewers.
My bad. I thought it said 12GB. Thanks for the heads up!
Yah , looks like it's $30 more for cheapest 12gb model
Updated the link
My roommate has the 8gb version and my system beats him pretty handily in gaming. He's an i9 11900k/3060 8 gb vs my 5800x/6700xt. I usually beat him fairly easily in frames in most everything. Now if he had the ti... things may be a little different, though his 11900k and my 5800x do trade blow for blow across most games.
In my office I have 4 computers, 2 3070's 1 6700xt 1 A750. I entered the EVGA's waiting list for a 3070 a month or so after launch. In the meantime I purchased the RX6700XT at a fairly high price but in my budget. At that time I really wanted a 3070 and with no word from EVGA I found a reasonably priced MSI 3070 from China and it got stalled in customs but finally made it to me. I wasn't holding my breath to ever hear from EVGA, but in April of 2022 they notified me. This year I wasn't really looking to buy any video cards, but Intel was finally getting some good reviews so 2 months ago I had an A750 sent to me and I put together an inexpensive system to test it with. To my amazement the A750 is a really fun card to game with. The driver support is great and the community is very helpful. In my opinion all of these video cards are worth having and I don't feel the need to upgrade anytime soon.
Here in Europe the 6700XT is around 440$ the RTX 3060 "12GB" around 360$(for an ITX model) and the RTX 3070 541$. SO I got the 6700XT
I went with 6700 XT from R9 Fury. (362 euro) brand new As it's cheaper by 100 euro vs 3070 (495 euro) . 3060 was 306 euro. Got free game Starfield premium edition with 6700 XT .
Well worth it
I have the RX 6700XT Red Devil and would still take it anyday over the 3070, cuz the 6700XT Beat it in everything but Raytracing gimic.
Until you use dlss. And fsr2 is a lot worse...
Good video.
I am gonna get 6700xt Merc 319
How's that for live streaming + Gaming?
I bought the gigabyte 6700XT EAGLE with 3 fans on it mid january this year for 475€ back then. I play on 1440p 144hz and on most older games (Dead by daylight, Tekken 7, Skyrim, no mods) the fans dont even start spinning since its below 50°C. With FSR and raytracing I have like 60 fps or so In cyberpunk and it looks amazing. Less fps but still super smooth in the star citizen alpha, but the game is far from being optimized let alone completed anyways, still very demanding and better looking than cyberpunk. Now you get it for about 380€. I think its the best prize to performance card I bought and Im gonna keep cool as my card with its 3 fans for this and a few summers to come, cause I dont think I will need to upgrade anytime soon for my needs.
Nice! Thanks for sharing your story
@@DannysTechChannel Thanks for the updated review!
I have the XFX SWFT (or however its spelled) and have ONLY heard the fans (barely) during stress tests or benchmarking.
i buyed directly gygabyte 6700 xt oc edition for only 250$ second hand its so good price :) best choice today 4 1080/1440p
Thanks for the comprehensive review.
I have thought about the 6700xt but I've also read that DLSS makes enough difference to warrant getting the 3060 instead. G sync as well.
Curious what your thoughts are? I know video is over 2 months old so may not get seen.
It really depends on the game and resolution used. DLSS or FSR at 1080p doesn’t do near as good for visuals than 1440p or 4K. Another thing I noticed when I tired out VRR is some games, the 6700 XT was so much faster than the 3060 that even with DLSS, it couldn’t catch up in performance. Also, G-Sync or freesync, doesn’t matter. They are both variable rate technology and work quite well.
I do run 1440 144hz monitor and Rift S as well so I feel it will help more so in vr as fsr implementation in say Assetto corsa is pointles as it is crazy blurry. It really is a tough time to decide on a card given the recent issues that v ram is going to pose. 12gb is bare minimum but that 4060ti just seems too high priced. @@DannysTechChannel
Thanks for your reply as well mate, cheers from Australia. I'm currently having random black screen for couple seconds happening every now and then, momentary screen drop out. 1070 feels like it's holding on for dear life haha.
You’re right. I just talked about the 4060 Ti in a recent video and once prices comes down, it might be a decent buy. But at $500 or $600, it’s a pass
On top of that conundrum is the fact that the 4070 is only another $50AUD more than the 4060ti which makes me want to go for the extra fps but concerned the 12gb vram just won't be enough. Thanks for your rapid replies every bit of info helps. Thanks.
So I have a 11700f pair with a 1660 super for gaming, the 3060 12gb at Best Buy is $279, will it be worth it to get it for streaming and gaming? I’m also getting a barely used 3070 ti for $400 for another pc build with the 13600k($319) will that also be enough for streaming and gaming? I mainly play apex legends and MW2(rarely). I need help lol I really feel like the 3060 for 279 is not a bad deal
It’s a decent price, especially since it has 12 GB of VRAM. But it’s performance is dwindling fast. That’s why I’ve been recommending the 6700 XT over the 3060. The 3070 Ti will show its age much faster than the 3060 due to the limited VRAM it has.
Your video was very helpful thank you! nvidia always has more features, but amd is always cheaper for similar/better performances.
Im shopping around and was about to by a Nvidia RTX 3000 series but its so big that it needs a new pc case. i saw a amd card selling for similar price at a store recently, it was the 6700. and it wont even needa new case! i think i know my decision
Upscaling is important in 2023 not because "more fps", but better antialiasing quality. If you want to get rid of alias shimmering, then at the moment you need to use upscaling...
And also it gives a big fps boost. That is why I like nvidia more. Dlss is much better than fsr2.
When people put the same fans in throughout the case including the cooler, do they remove the original cooler fans and put the fans of their choice on?
(question for building dummies)
Sometimes. I’ve done that before just to make them all match
@@DannysTechChannel Cool thanks. I'm getting a custom build and feel like a d@ck when saying I wanted 9 infinity fans in a Lian-li o11d mini...then thinking 🤔 can you do that lol.
Haha, nothing wrong with that!
@@DannysTechChannel 😆
Hey Danny, 6700xt is impressive, but what about CAD programs? Specifically for modeling in Ptc Creo - ex Pro/Engineer? I'm extremely interested in this AMD card, but should I consider 3060ti/3070 for my needs? Maybe even something older on a used market, like Rtx 2080 Super or Gtx 1080ti?
I’m not Danny but like he said, productivity, nvidia has amd beat with a ton of support in different programs. If it’s purely gaming, not what you said, then 6700 xt is your bet.
Let's say it like this. Nvidia might be better but....
I went with 6700 XT from R9 Fury. (362 euro) brand new As it's cheaper by 100 euro vs 3070 (495 euro) . 3060 was 306 euro. Got free game Starfield premium edition with 6700 XT .

And one more thing amd has AMD Software: PRO Edition which is designed for cad and other dev apps.
What would you suggest if you were in my region?
Cause in my region
A new Rtx 3060 is roughly 350$
And
Cheapest new RX 6700xt is 470$ going upto 800$
Very interesting video.
but I'm looking for a GPU only for one game Flight simulator 2020 which 1440p keeps 60FPS and not below, is RX6700 do the job?
thanks
Possibly, if you're alright with dropping the settings quite a bit. If you're aiming for max settings 1440p you'd wanna go with a stronger card.
I think this price range for GPUs is generally best for 1080p max/high settings.
@@flowersfor.janeYT
I'm going for rx 6700 xf 12gb is the best at moment
@@kiyanooshC4D The 6700 xt is arguably the best 1440p gpu on the market at its price point. It's not horribly strong at 4k (which I still often play at, only have a 60 hz monitor lol) but 1440p is its strong point.
Flight sim needs 10gb of Vram maxed out so I would say a used 3080 that is a beast on flight sim, or even a 4070 cuz frame gen is worth it if flight sim is your main game
thanks for the video iam defiently going with rx 6700 xt cause rtx 3070 price is 750 dollard to 770 dollars here and rx 6700 xt is only 280 dollars here!
That’s an easy choice. Enjoy that extra VRAM too
let us know what you think of your 6700 xt, I love mine personally.
@@dalehammers4425 I'm intrigued by RX 6700 (non xt), it's even cheaper
@@markomarkovic5729 For a reason.
@@dalehammers4425 I need it for work, I do modeling in Creo (ex Pro/Engineer) and have outdated hardware, so I need to get a new PC. I stopped following hardware trends a long time ago and i probably sound like a noob, do you think RX 6700 XT would be overkill for my needs? I would also play some games on a 1440p monitor, but that's not a priority for me, since I have an Xbox anyway.
A big flaw calling the rtx 3060 the cheapest is that you referenced the 8gb instead of the 12 gb; its the biggest issue with the 3060s that people mixed the 2 because its not just different vram but different performance
You mislabeled the section of cyberpunk 2077 1440p benchmarks which was confusing for a little bit
The B-Roll doesn’t matter for the 3060 considering the 12GB models are cheaper than what I showed when I made the video and if you click the link in the description, it takes you to a 12GB model anyway. The mislabeled 1440p benchmark for Cyberpunk was just a simple mistake. I’m only one man. I don’t have anyone to QC my work before uploading.
So what is best for Gaming Editing an streaming? Rtx3060 or rx6700xt
Both have their stronger points. Nvidia has better streaming capability with NVENC but AMDs card has better gaming performance as you can see from the video. Depends what you’re more interested in. Editing depends on the program. Adobe does well with Nvidia for the CUDA acceleration. Other programs might not matter
@@DannysTechChannel Thanks you so much for your time helped alot
Im curious see how the new rtx 4060/ ti will perform in comparison to this generation
So am I!
this aged badly
@@sergiovr3 lol yeah it did, just like the 4060 ti will.
If at the same price, which would be better to get? RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT?
I’d say the 6700 XT simply for the 12GB of VRAM
ill buy rtx 3060 12gb instead of rx 6700 xt, just because i cant stand reading all those crash, or other issues comments. And the videos "amd gpu crashing" or something like that have dozens of thousands views. I just want to peacefully enjoy games instead of resolving issues
Very helpful... But Danny or Jhonny 😂😂
yeah, you got the most interesting set of cards to check the ray tracing hit but ok. People want to know how those "low tier" cards perform especially since Nvidia is supposed to dominate the place in that regard but AMD's driver made up for allot since a half year.
What cpu should I get with the 6700xt? I have a ryzen 5 3600 that runs at 60 degrees celsius when doing basic desktop things. I assume I can't upgrade the cpu without switching from a stock cooler? Which one should I get? I mainly play competitive low settings Apex legends.
I think this might help with a CPU search. Of course it depends on your budget. czcams.com/video/DOoJ5Rljn74/video.html
And for your hot CPU problem, I recommend this one

Anytime!
TAKE THE PRICE OF THE GAME THEY "GIVE" WITH THE PURCHASE AND ADD A 100.00 THRN MAYBE! So which was the best choice period?
I went for a 3060 simply because I use a lot of NVIDIA features like Shadowplay and games are FINALLY using more than 8GBs of VRAM, sometimes even at 1080p. In the next couple years I think that extra 4GBs of VRAM is gonna help the 3060 hold it's ground. I also am limited by my i5 9600K so getting a 3070/6700xt just didn't fit my build without upgrading my entire setup.
If you have a better CPU I think there's few reasons to not get a 6700xt, especially if you upgrade more often than once every 5+ years.
why rx 6700xt? instead a rx 6700?
Coming in for the algorithm.
w8ting my 6700xt❤🔥
Somewhat misleading. I have the rx 6700xt and 32 GB ram and in a game like Hogwarts Legacy I get 60-90 FPS @1440p / no FSR/RT / high settings with some settings at mid.
How do you get 112.6 FPS with that card?
What CPU are you using?
@@DannysTechChannel Ryzen 5 5600x - there is no bottleneck at all
I’m not sure. It’s not misleading though. I played some games and recorded my frame rate. The motherboard may allow different boosting metrics for the CPUs and I used a Ryzen 7 5700x. Might have given me a few FPS higher
@@ndMaikel He's still using a stronger cpu, bottleneck or not, its gonna get better frames.
@@dalehammers4425 About 25% more frames and he is also using higher graphics settings. Only because of the slightly better CPU for gaming? Must be a NASA CPU with integrated GPU boost.

impressive how you were able to talk absolute filler for 5 minutes before getting into the video
I can talk for days. That’s why I made a CZcams channel. Thanks for watching 😊
Nah. Need to test in ultra because you're making the 3070 look extremely good when it's actually dog poop with 8gb.
These cards all scale the same at ultra. With the games tested, it didn’t make much difference
3070 is better.

First.
Thanks for stopping by!
Looking at my best price new:
3060 - 284€ /// 6700XT - 337€ /// 3070 - 426€
I mean... By those prices, there is really no match at all. AMD is the sweet spot. Under 400€ the 3070 would be a decent offer but 8Gb with a 1440p card now WaAY
I like my Gforce 3060 12gig.. I think it will last longer.. One spends enough on renting games..
