AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT vs AMD Radeon RX 6700

Radeon RX 6500 XT vs Radeon RX 6700 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 6700 beats the Radeon RX 6500 XT in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6500 XT has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the Radeon RX 6500 XT also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon RX 6700 has significantly more memory with 10 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6500 XT has a significantly lower TDP at 107 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6700 at 175 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 6700 is better than the Radeon RX 6500 XT.
