At 370 euros unless you are professionally involved with Blender, Photoshop, or are particularly dedicated to DLSS and RT (Ray tracing), there is no reason not to choose this card. If you simply play games, the 6700xt outperforms Nvidia cards up to 100 euros more expensive, such as the 3070, in raw performance, meaning performance without the use of RT (Ray tracing), which also only has 8GB VRAM that is not always sufficient for RT in 1440p in modern games and certainly will not be enough in 1-2 years. However, the card wins compared to AMD due to Nvidia's more advanced and improved RT support. Similarly, the 3060 with 12GB VRAM, which competes in price, has worse performance by 10-15% compared to the 6700XT and even lags behind the 6700XT with the use of DLSS, without the equivalent AMD technology, FSR. To buy an Nvidia graphics card that surpasses this card in performance at 12GB, you will have to go for the 4070, which costs 650-750 euros, which is a ridiculous price for the value and performance of the card.
Now for temperatures.
---Without overclock in heavy games like Forza Horizon 5, Last of Us, Uncharted, Doom Eternal.
Around 78-82 core and 85-90 hotspot with 180 to 190w power consumption and a very quiet fan.
---With overclock at its limit, which I would not recommend for everyday use.
89-93 core and 102-105 hotspot with 230-250w power consumption. I have read that the card can withstand 110C, after which it starts to lose performance, but I am not crazy enough to reach that point. Also, coil whine is noticeable because the fans run at 3000rpm. There is literally no reason to overclock it.
With light games like Apex, Splitgate, Overwatch 2, it does not go above 50 core and 60 hotspot without overclock and with a silent fan. With overclock, it is 5-6 degrees higher in both and still with high power consumption of 170-180w.
Edit: Due to my minimal experience with AMD graphics cards, I did not know that you can undervolt them.
---With undervolt, which after my own results, I see no reason not to do it, in heavy games, I dropped to 65-75 core and 75-85 hotspot with 110-120w power consumption. Almost 10 degrees lower and 70w lower, with a 2% improvement in fps because I overclocked the VRAM, which is a significant decrease in temperatures and noise with just 1 minute of work.
**DO NOT BUY IT FOR MORE THAN 390-400 EUROS, IT IS NOT WORTH IT NOW THAT THE 7700XT IS OUT. ALWAYS GO FOR THE 7700XT.
