Radeon RX 6700 XT vs GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
Graphics card comparison for gaming — benchmark scores, estimated framerates and which one suits your build.
The short answer
Radeon RX 6700 XT is the faster of the two for gaming, by roughly 9% over the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
Gap measured from estimated framerates across 4 games, not from benchmark scores — scores rank parts reliably but compress the distance between two fast ones.

Estimated FPS at 1440p
Both measured against the same reference processor — a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D — so the graphics card is the variable being tested. Ranges, not exact figures. Measured at 1440p: at 1080p even a fast reference processor caps both cards, and the two columns come back identical.

|---|---|---|
| Fortnite | 169–282 GPU | 156–260 GPU |
| CS:GO | 274–457 GPU | 252–420 GPU |
| GTA V | 105–174 GPU | 96–160 GPU |
| PUBG | 130–216 GPU | 119–198 GPU |
Which suits your build?
These figures hold a reference processor constant. Your own build decides the answer: a faster graphics card buys nothing if the other component is already the limit. Run both against your actual hardware:
