For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes.

As for default thermal performance, the reference RX 6700 XT saw a GPU edge temperature of 77C during our testing. That is a few degrees hotter than the RX 6800, but the cooler is substantially lighter despite just an 8% reduction in rated power draw. We've not charted the hot spot temperature as currently we've only tested one 6700 XT, but for reference it hit 98C.
