Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT NITRO+ Benchmarks

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:

Sapphire RX 6700 XT NITRO+ 3DMark performance	Fire Strike Extreme	Fire Strike Ultra	Time Spy	Time Spy Extreme	Port Royal	Average
Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 XT NITRO+	25824	12804	18052	8677	9210	152%
Radeon RX 6800 XT	25738	12772	17848	8583	9083	151%
GeForce RTX 3080	21069	10854	17763	8862	11339	150%
Radeon RX 6800	21374	10509	15062	7173	7604	126%
GeForce RTX 3070	16573	8473	13480	6685	8034	113%
Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT NITRO+	17435	8568	11921	5583	5891	100%
Radeon RX 5700 XT	12080	6503	9029	4369	–	75%

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.
