PowerColor RX 6700 XT HellHound Graphics Card Review

How Much Does It Cost?

At the time of the review, we don’t have official pricing for this card. However, we do know the reference’s MSRP is $479-$499 so while this so we hope this one won’t be too much more than that as it’s not their top-tier range. We will look to update this, hopefully in a weeks time once the cards are released and we can see what retailers are actually selling them for.

Overview

PowerColor’s new HellHound GPU is a great mid-range card and should look to go head to head with the likes of Gigabytes Gaming OC range. If pricing is similar, this will put PowerColor in a great position. When it came down to performance, all our 6700 XT’s were very close in FPS in most all titles so it really comes down to which model is the model for you.

Should I Buy One?

If you can find one, go for it! As long as it’s not at an over-inflated price. It all really comes down to what the price is once launched. Make sure to have a look around retailers and if it is not too much more expensive, when compared to the reference model, the better thermals if nothing else is worth a bit more of your hard-earned money.

SAM

We have tested SAM on our reference RX 6700 XT as the performance on all 6700 XT’s was quite similar. In most tests, we saw an 8-15% increase in FPS although in some games we saw 0 difference and this should be similar for all 6700 XT cards. In order to use SAM, you will need a 6xxx series GPU, 5xxx Series CPU and a B550/X570 with all the current updates for your system. We may revisit this in comparison to NVIDIA’s Resizable BAR in the future when it is more readily available.
