The RX 6700 XT has been exciting, having already taken a look at one other card we know that it performs well in the 1440p range and is a monster for 1080p for anyone looking to run a high refresh rate monitor. The first card I took a look at was an overclocked one from MSI but XFX also sent over a card. I was impressed with their new styling when I took a look at the Merc 319 6800 XT and from what I’ve seen the Merc 319 6700 XT has a similar setup. The name alone tells us that this is their high-end model and it has the triple-fan cooler. So it will be interesting to see if the 6700 XT performs even better with the cooler and we get the chance to check out card-to-card performance as well which is a rare chance in the current market. So let’s jump in and see what it is all about and find out if it’s the 6700 XT to pick up.

As always I did run GPUz and get a screenshot. I do this to double check to make sure the card I’m testing has the correct clock speeds for one. Our MERC 319 did come in a hair higher than the listed boost clock here at 2629 MHz, 7 MHz higher than listed in the XFX specifications. I’m not sure if that was an issue with our BIOS or an error in their specifications, but it was a small difference. Beyond that GPUz also keeps track of our BIOS revision and the driver which was the pre-launch AMD provided driver.
