AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB & Radeon RX 6700 6 GB Custom Graphics Cards From PowerColor Spotted

PowerColor is the latest manufacturer to submit upcoming AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT & Radeon RX 6700 custom graphics cards over at EEC. Previously, both Gigabyte and ASRock had submitted the Radeon RX 6700 series graphics cards at the Eurasian Economic Commission, confirming the 12 GB and 6 GB memory capacities of both cards.

PowerColor has submitted over 20 models to EEC which consist of both reference and custom models. The cards come in various flavors though we cannot tell which specific lineup they are belonging to. What we do know is that the cards will carry both stock and factory overclocked models. Once again, the Radeon RX 6700 XT will feature a 12 GB memory bus and compete with the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti while the Radeon RX 6700 will feature 6 GB memory and compete with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. Following is the full list of graphics cards submitted to EEC:

As for the specifications, the Radeon RX 6700 series will include the Navi 22 XT based Radeon RX 6700 XT and the Navi 22 XL based Radeon RX 6700  graphics cards. The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT with the full Navi 22 XT GPU SKU is expected to feature 40 Compute Units or a total of 2560 stream processors while the Radeon RX 6700 with the Navi 22 XL GPU SKU is expected to feature a cut-down configuration. The graphics card will feature a 12 GB GDDR6 memory buffer along with a 192-bit bus interface. AMD will most likely use 16 Gbps dies which would net a total bandwidth of 384 GB/s for the cards.

AMD Radeon RX 6700 Series With Dual-Slot Cooling Solution:

Moving over to the design, the dual-slot card features a design similar to the triple-slot offering but with a slightly compact form factor. This shroud is said to be designed for the AMD Radeon RX 6700 series cards. The card features a dual axial-tech fan design and has the large "R" logo in the middle and on the fans too which represents the Radeon brand.

The card also features the LED-lit Radeon logo on the sides and has a large cut out to vent out the heat from the aluminum heatsink. There are two 8-pin power connectors on the card but we may also see 8+6 or configurations for the more power optimized variants. The card also comes with a dual-slot form factor and should feature a similar I/O as the Big Navi graphics card. It is expected that this cooler should house the Navi 22 GPU which is slightly smaller but still larger compared to AMD's Navi 10 (RDNA 1) GPU for the Radeon RX 5700 series graphics cards.

AMD has officially stated a 1H 2021 launch date for the mainstream desktop offerings but rumors have pointed to a late Q1 2021 release date for the Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card. We are most likely to hear more about these cards in the coming months.
