How good is a 6700 XT in 2023?

How good will it run games at 1440p?
How good will it run the newer titles at 1440p?
I'm thinking of buying it (upgrading from my 1050ti) :/
Appreciate any help!

Just bought an RX 6700XT to replace my current RTX 3060 12GB. May not seem like a reasonable upgrade but it's supposed to give me +25% or more depending on the game. Once I sell my 3060 the upgrade would have cost me £50-70, which is a deal for this much more performance imo.
Will update the comment here if I ran into any issues. I mainly play HUNT and occasionally cyberpunk, GTA or emulated games.

How'd the upgrade go bro

Rocky start but then near flawless since then.
Initially I had an issue where the card didn't like booting with secureboot, but it ended up being the card not liking booting from HDMI only (possibly due to the weird workaround AMD had to use on the pcb for RX 6000, where HDMI isn't really HDMI but an onboard converter from DP). With my main display plugged in via DP and then my TV via HDMI (or just my monitor via DP) it boots every time. Once I figured that out, everything went smooth. The 3060 to 6700XT upgrade ended up costing me £90.
At this point I should mention that the 3060 was not a bug-free experience either. It hated when you used displayport on it (frequent random black screens, having to reboot when it occurred) which were more common when I had a 2nd screen or TV plugged in via HDMI and nvidia doesn't do adaptive sync through HDMI. Also the visual artifacts when using YT on Chrome (with the 3060) which is well documented online.
Since upgrading to the 6700 XT, I much much prefer using Radeon's Adrenalin software to nvidia's GFExperience or shadowplay (which also used to be laggy after 2-3hrs of gameplay). It also lets you use filters and sharpening on ANY AND ALL games and it's not a dev opt-in thing like with nvidia (which is stupid cause obviously old games will never be supported + a lot of online game devs like crytek disable filters to stop people from using nighvision exploits). Also AFMF2 (driver level frame gen) is awesome.
The performance jump is amazing (usually 20-35% depending on the game) and by sheer coincidence the new hunt showdown engine runs better on AMD than it does on Nvidia cards.
If you're buying used (for much cheaper than retail MSRP), then go with the 6700XT. If you're buying new and they're about the same price, go with a 7600XT as it has AV1 encoding and has similar/bit better performance in most newer games. For older games, the 6700XT is always faster.
Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any other/specific questions.

Two comparisons from 1 year ago:
A few weeks old reviews with the 6700 XT on the charts
In very heavy games/new AAA games, you should get 60-80 fps with high/ultra quality settings at 1440p, but reducing a thing or two, without losing image quality should get you in the 80-100 fps range in games like Hogwarts, Cyberpunk, The Last of Us etc.
In anything else, you will get high framerates, more than enough for a 1440p 144Hz display.
If you are upgrading from a 1050 Ti, that is a MASSIVE upgrade, and yes, it's an amazing 1440p GPU.

do you think this card will be future proof like sort of gta 6, like even at low graphics if your answer is maybe not?
itsVanquishh@reddit
I assume this card will do fantastic with GTA6

I'm late I know. But I think this card will definitely run GTA6. I was able to run GTA4/5 on integrated graphics within 3 years of release.
I just bought a 7600 for my son today and I'm very impressed. I have a 4090 system that I'm used to and honestly I'm cool with it getting close to visual quality with 80 frames. It will have a nice life
