GPU-Z Info
ASRock’s Phantom Gaming Tweaker
ASRock has included their Phantom Gaming Tweaker software, which allows you to overclock the card even more. In OC mode the software will boost the GPU to a speed of 2557 Mhz during full load.
You can also monitor the memory speed, GPU usage, GPU temps and fans speeds too,
AIDA64 GPU Info
As you can seen from screenshot below … the RX 6700 XT is based on AMD’s Navi 22 (RDNA 2) architecture using the 7nm FinFET process. It uses 12GB of GDDR6 ram on a 192-bit memory bus.
PassMark – Performance Test 9.0 (3D Test)
Test the speed of your 3D video card by selecting from options such as fogging, lighting, alpha blending, wire frame, texturing, resolution, color depth, object rotation and object displacement. Separate tests for DirectX 9,10,11 & 12. With support for 4K resolution.
Load Temperatures
At full load, the card reached a high of 56 degrees Celsius, with the GPU Hotspot at 80 degrees Celsius. The hotspot temperature may seem a little high … but the large heatsink and triple fans does a fabulous job of cooling the graphics card.
