ASUS Radeon RX 6700 XT Dual 12GB GDDR6

The ASUS Dual RX 6700 XT scores 19,730 on PassMark G3D, which is middle of the pack but still plenty for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The 12GB VRAM is the standout spec, and owners love how quiet it runs. Just don't overpay, EUR prices swing by EUR 1,270 across vendors.

The 6700 XT packs 2,560 stream processors and a 2,581MHz boost clock, which translates to 13.21 FP32 TFLOPS. That's solid compute for the money, though it lands at the 40th percentile in our database, so it's not going to impress anyone running heavy productivity workloads. The 12GB VRAM is the real story here. At the 53rd percentile, it's about average, but for 1080p and 1440p gaming, that buffer is more than enough. You won't be hitting VRAM walls in most modern titles unless you're cranking textures at 4K.

Ray tracing is technically supported, but the 40 RT cores put it at the 62nd percentile for RT performance. That's fine for light RT effects, but don't expect to max out Cyberpunk with path tracing. FSR helps claw back some frames, but this is a raster-first card. The 230W TDP is manageable, and the dual-fan Axial-tech design keeps things quiet. Owners specifically mention the card runs cool and quiet, which matches the 0dB mode that stops the fans below 55°C.

Against the MSI Ventus RTX 5070 Ti, the ASUS Dual gets absolutely smoked. The 5070 Ti is a current-gen card with significantly more compute and better ray tracing. But it also costs way more. The Sapphire NITRO+ 11322-01-40G is a closer fight, since it's also an AMD card in a similar class, but the NITRO+ tends to have better cooling and higher factory clocks. The ZOTAC APOCALYPSE and PNY ARGB OC are RTX 5080-class cards, so they're not even in the same conversation. The real comparison is price-to-performance. At EUR 1,096, the 6700 XT makes a case for itself. At EUR 2,366, you'd be insane not to buy a newer card. The 12GB VRAM is actually competitive with some newer mid-range cards, but the compute and RT performance are showing their age.

Pricing is all over the place. In EUR, you're looking at a spread from EUR 1,096 to EUR 2,366 across four listings in Germany, Spain, France, and Italy. That's a EUR 1,270 gap for the same card, which is absurd. The lower end of that range is actually reasonable for a 12GB card with this level of performance. The upper end is highway robbery. If you're in Europe, shop around and don't pay more than the EUR 1,096 listing. In the US, prices run USD 789 to USD 800, which is steep for a card that's a few generations old now. The affordability percentile sits at 35th, so this isn't a budget pick anymore. It's a card you buy if you find a good deal, not one you chase at full price.

The ASUS Dual RX 6700 XT lands with a PassMark G3D score of 19,730, which puts it in the middle of the pack for raster performance in our database. That's not a headline-grabber in 2025, but it's still enough to push 1080p and 1440p games at respectable frame rates. The 12GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus gives it 384 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and that's the spec that keeps textures from choking at higher resolutions. For a card that launched as a mid-range champion, it's holding up okay, not great.

What's interesting is the mismatch between specs and sentiment. The card's user sentiment score sits at just the 28th percentile, which is rough. But the actual reviews we pulled are mostly positive, praising performance, quiet operation, and value. The low percentile seems driven by a small sample size and some unanswered questions about product condition and driver installation. So the card itself is fine, but the buying experience around it has been a bit murky.

If you care about ray tracing, skip this. The 62nd percentile RT ranking means you'll be turning effects down or off in demanding titles. If you're running AI workloads, the 40.1/100 score for AI and LLM tasks is a real weak spot, one of the lowest in our database for this category. And if you're buying in Europe, skip any listing above EUR 1,096. The EUR 2,366 price point is nearly double the low end and makes zero sense when newer cards are available. Efficiency is also mediocre at the 42nd percentile, so if power draw matters to you, there are better options.

The ASUS Dual RX 6700 XT is a card that made sense in 2021 and still makes sense in 2025 if you find it at the right price. The 12GB VRAM and quiet cooling are genuine strengths, and owners consistently praise the performance and value. But the user sentiment percentile of 28th is a red flag, mostly driven by unanswered questions about condition and drivers. The card itself is fine. The buying experience around it is less fine. If you can snag one at the low end of the EUR range or find a used deal, it's a solid 1080p and 1440p workhorse. If you're paying anywhere near the high end, you're getting fleeced.
