AMD RADEON RX 6700XT SWFT - UNBOXING AND FIRST LOOK, best entry level 1440p card?

I got this card in a pre built pc, of course I didn't know what manufacturer I would actually be getting the card from as that's just how pre builds go now. My hwinfo checker actually registers it as a merc319 for some reason, which is weird. Still great card for entry level as you implied, at least to me it is (this is my first actual gaming tower.)

I don't understand what the point of getting anything above the swft is, assuming they all have the same chipset.

[@djgaming1999]

Your CPU is bottlenecking this GPU a lot you said this is an entry level GPU but it's on the same level as an RTX 3070 with the 3070 being better by 10-15Fps... I also saw you suggested someone keeping their 3060 in my opinion that's just wrong if they can sell their 3060 to get the ti version or an rx 6700xt i would recommend that because the 3060 normal version is the weakest 12GB card on the market even an rx 6600 and 6600xt is better

[@AlexPCTech]

Thank You for that, yeah recently upgraded to a 5900x and my oh my this card sings. Thank you for your valuable input and I do agree with you, if they can sell their 3060 at a good price that would be wonderful, however, if 10 to 15 fps is really a big deal then by all means, yes it is better but for the price, normally a 3070 cossts waay more than this card in my region, how about in your part of the world?

[@bdiff9340]

Never again buying an XFX ! Bought a MERC 6700XT NiB for $429 in Oct 2022, that was backed by a 3yr warranty, card stopped working a few weeks later, got it RMA’d and received a “refurbished” MERC, that only carries a “90day warranty”.. so for my $429 spent in Oct 2022, I now have a refurbished card that is only covered until the end of Feb 2023 ! I should still be covered by a 3yr warranty from purchase date, not this 90-day RMA crap that replaced my 3yr warranty ! I’d have been better off buying a “used” card for much cheaper, and getting g it backed by a SquareTrade warranty !

Just got this exact card and its great, really good card for the price, one thing I dislike about AMD is the radeon software.... I don't know if its just windows itself corrupting files but I get blue screens not as often as I was when I had my 580 in but I get, memory management, then I got one that said something about DRIVER OVERRAN ERROR. The only solutions to these issues are "update graphics driver" "update bios" or it says faulty RAM or Video card.... My ram is brand new and not even over clocked and obviously the 6700Xt is brand new as well. Any help would be awesome... Seems as though the 6700xt solved a lot of the issues I was having with blue screens every 10-20mins. Now i get blue screens like once a day...

[@AlexPCTech]

Thank you for the comment, however, from my side, I do not encounter any blue screens with my setup. My setup is on windows 10, latest radeon driver, lates MSI B550 vdh pro wifi bios, XMP on the GSKill 3600 CL17's. Can you try with different RAMs? What motherboard are you using?

Never had any problems with AMD Drivers, blue screen doesn't always say its from the GPU it might be corrupted files or other drivers. Look at the message when the BSOD happens

Its probably a driver compatibility. I'd say remove all video drivers using DDU, restart, do clean install of the latest recommended driver. otherwise, I'd say backup ur data and do a clean reinstall of Windows as many things could go wrong with the garbage Windows 10
