AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT lags far behind older RX 5700 XT in Ethereum mining

Gamers got some welcome news yesterday. According to the Cryptomining blog, AMD's new Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card delivers "just" 43 megahashes when mining Ethereum. That puts it significantly behind the older RX 5700 XT, which routinely tops 54 megahashes.

However, it's too early to celebrate. The same blog reports that the RX 6700 XT performs on par with the RTX 3060 when mining other coins, specifically Ravencoin.

On top of that, Bitcoin crossed the $60,000 mark yesterday, triggering a rally across other altcoins. This means that despite its relatively modest 43 megahashes, the Radeon RX 6700 XT will likely still be a solid choice for many miners.
