Our Verdict: Upgrading from RX 6700 XT to RTX 3070 is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware.

AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT

AMD ’s xx00 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the RDNA 2.0 graphics card inside the RX 6700 XT, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. The RX 6700 XT is much more expensive than the RX 5700 as it costs a whopping $ 479. Compare this to the RX 5700, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, which came originally at a price of $ 349, $ 399. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the RTX 3070 which costs $ 499.

Spec for spec, this RX 6700 XT leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 5700, by boasting 44.8 % more fps. The RX 6700 XT has 12 GB RAM compared to the RX 5700 's 8 GB video memory.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 6700 XT consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX 5700, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 3070, the RX 6700 XT was -8.7 % slower.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

The RTX 3080 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3070 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 499. The good news is, with the release of the RTX 3070 Ti, the RTX 3070 's price is getting more discount.

NVIDIA ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked.

Spec for spec, this RTX 3070 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2070, by boasting 48 % more fps.

In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 3070 blows past the RTX 2070, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER and, amazingly, even the RTX 2080 as well. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3070 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2070, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER and it really justifies an upgrade.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 6800, the RTX 3070 was -9.4 % slower. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play The Last of Us Part I, Forspoken, Halo Infinite, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Atomic Heart at 66 fps to 79 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 75 fps.
