Our Verdict: The price of RX 6950 XT is ridiculous. With some tuning, the RX 6950 XT makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3070 by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 3070 could be the better value choice in the short term. The RX 6950 XT is faster by 50% for 1440p gaming. However, RTX 3070 is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RTX 3070 to RX 6950 XT is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 3070 .

AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT

The RX 6950 XT is much more expensive than the RX 5700 XT as it costs a whopping $ 1099. Compare this to the RX 5700 XT, which came originally at a price of $ 399. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the RTX 3090 Ti which costs $ 1999. Spec for spec, this RX 6950 XT leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 5700 XT, by boasting 116.2 % more fps.

The RX 6950 XT has 16 GB RAM compared to the RX 5700 XT 's 8 GB video memory. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 3090 Ti, the RX 6950 XT was 1.7 % faster.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 6950 XT consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX 5700 XT and it really justifies an upgrade. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Microsoft Flight Simulator, Immortals of Aveum, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II, The Last of Us Part I at 77 fps to 97 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 85 fps.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play The Callisto Protocol, Microsoft Flight Simulator, The Last of Us Part I, Forspoken, Atomic Heart at 62 fps to 83 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 72 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Borderlands 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Hogwarts Legacy at 61 fps to 68 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 65 fps.

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. After taking the time to fully test the Ampere graphics card inside the RTX 3070, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. 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.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Space, Red Dead Redemption 2, Halo Infinite, Assassin's Creed Valhalla at 66 fps to 72 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 68 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Battlefield 2042, Final Fantasy XV, Hitman 2, Watch Dogs: Legion, Hitman 3 at 62 fps to 66 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.

AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT / Ryzen 9 5950X

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RX 6950 XT is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RX 6950 XT is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. It is worth noting that the RX 6950 XT is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RX 6950 XT 's 16384 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RX 6950 XT , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
