AMD's Radeon RX 6700 XT video card releases March 18. This is our review & benchmark of the new RX 6700 XT GPU, particularly vs. the RTX 3060 & RTX 3070 cards.

Unfortunately, the answer seems largely the same as previous times we've answered this lately: Whichever you can get. There's one major problem with the 6700 XT, though, and it's the same that the RTX 3060 had: It's greedily positioned, and so once again we end up with a product which fails to move the needle meaningfully over previous generations, like the RX 5700 XT.
