Using the average frame rate data presented on the previous page, here we look at the cost per frame using the UK MSRP launch prices for each GPU.

Using the £419.99 UK MSRP, we can take a look at cost per frame. This is fairly academic at the minute since MSRP doesn't really mean a lot, but it tells us how AMD is trying to position the product. At 1080p, the 6700 XT delivers a cost per frame of £3.47, which is 3% better value than the RTX 3070. Compared to the RTX 3060 Ti however, the 6700 XT is 9% more expensive per frame.

Using the 1440p data now, here the RTX 3070 and RX 6700 XT converge to the point where the cost per frame values differ by just 1p, an irrelevant margin. Again though, nothing is beating the value offered by the 3060 Ti, as the 6700 XT is now 11% more expensive per frame.

The thing I'd say here too, is that the 6700 XT has been thrown a lifeline by the UK pricing. Using the dollar pricing, the 6700 XT is actually worse value than the RTX 3070 across the board, and its relative value gets worse compared to the 3060 Ti. KitGuru is a UK publication so we're going to use the given price in GBP, but for those in other countries it's something to bear in mind that the value proposition may vary.
