What owners say about the XFX Speedster QICK 319 Radeon RX 6700 XT Black 12GB

Based on 223 owners sharing their experience in online comments

83%positive9%mixed8%negative

Owners praise its strong gaming speed and ample VRAM, while driver issues, heat, and weak ray tracing bother some.

What owners dislike

  • Stuttering and unstable frame rates in games10
  • Owners report driver problems such as random black screens, driver timeouts, and system reboots, especially with automatic Adrenalin driver updates or when Smart Access Memory is enabled.10
  • High hotspot and memory temperatures8
  • Owners say ray tracing performance is weak, with frame rates falling sharply when it is turned on, so many prefer to keep it off.5
  • Some owners say the card falls behind the RTX 3070 and 3060 Ti in some titles, such as Far Cry 6, and the 6800 is clearly faster.4
  • Owners on 4K displays say native 4K gaming can drop to 30 to 40 fps in newer titles, so they rely on FSR upscaling to get playable frame rates.3

Verdict

The 96 MB Infinity Cache and a 2622 MHz boost clock make the XFX Speedster QICK 319 Radeon RX 6700 XT Black 12GB a strong choice for ray-traced games. It has 12 GB of memory and 40 ray tracing units, and it gives 13.21 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. Frame generation and FSR are both supported, so frame rates can climb in games that offer them. At 323 mm long and 1900 g, it needs a big case and a sturdy mount. It draws 230 W and wants a 650 W power supply. It also has ECC memory, which is rare on a gaming card, and it can run two cards together. The trade-off is that DLSS is not available. It suits a gamer with a large case who wants ray tracing and high frame rates.
