You’ve gotta love an industry that keeps tossing out new gaming graphics processors that get snatched out of midair before you can catch them. The latest in what I hope is the last of these launches for a while is AMD’s Radeon RX 6700 XT, the new entry-level graphics card in the company’s RX 6000 generation. It follows the recently launched RX 6800,6800 XT and 6900 and the GeForce RTX 3060, Nvidia’s introduced entry-level card that incorporates its latest Ampere architecture. Based on its $479 price and its overall performance, the 6700 XT competes with the similarly priced RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070. The card ships March 18, with AMD offering both its own cards and third-party alternatives from all the usual suspects. It will also be available in regular retail PCs; HP has already announced that it’s planning to add the card as an option in its Omen 25L and 30L desktops at the end of March, along with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X option so you can take advantage of AMD’s Smart Memory Access. AMD recently expanded SMA support down to the older Ryzen 3000 series CPUs as well. „Available“ is a moving target for graphics cards these days.
