Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 12 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

Looking at the big picture overview with our 12-game average FPS, we'll start with the 1080p data. Here we can see the RX 6700 XT is on average 8% slower than the RTX 3070, and 4% faster than the RTX 3060 Ti. It's also 15% slower than its big brother, the RX 6800, and compared to the RX 5700 XT, we're looking at a generational uplift of 25%.

As for 1440p, here we can see the RX 6700 XT is 10% slower than the RTX 3070 and just 2% ahead of the RTX 3060 Ti. It's also 18% slower than the RX 6800, and against the RX 5700 XT it delivers an extra 26% performance.
