First Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT NITRO+ benchmarks leak online

Our colleagues at bilibili.com have posted the first benchmarks of the Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 6700 XT, a relatively affordable graphics card.

For the CPU, the team used AMD's 12-core Ryzen 9 5900X.

On average, the beefier RX 6800 XT NITRO+ is about 50% faster than the RX 6700 XT NITRO+. This is quite interesting, considering that on paper, the RX 6800 XT is roughly 80% more powerful (4608 stream processors versus 2560). We can only speculate that the RX 6700 XT narrows the performance gap thanks to higher clock speeds on the Navi 22 GPU, but we can't say anything for sure about the new card's clock speeds right now.

Check out the full performance comparison below:

Additionally, the RX 6700 XT NITRO+ is 25% faster than the RX 5700 XT and 13% slower than the GeForce RTX 3070.

Still, take this information with a grain of salt, as these benchmarks aren't official and were run on pre-release drivers.
