In this case, the MERC319 BLACK is spec’d at 2548 MHz Game Clock and 2622 MHz Boost Clock, an increase of 124 MHz and 42 MHz, respectively, all due to the RDNA2 architecture.

The big difference from the reference cards is the cooler, power delivery, and clock speeds. For more information on AMD’s High-Speed design, Infinity Cache, and RDNA2 features, check out our launch day review for the RX 68 XT. This holds for all but the infinity cache sitting at 96 MB and the 12 GB of GDDR6. The XT variant offers 2,560 stream processors, 64 ROPs, 160 TMUs, or half of the RX 6900 XT. The XFX MERC319 BLACK RX 6700 XT uses the Navi 22 XT core that measures 251 mm 2 and has 17.2 billion transistors. Specifications and Features AMD Radeon RX Series Specifications Let’s get this card to the test bench and see how well it does. This premium has benefits, bringing with it a factory overclock, improved power delivery, solid aluminum construction, and a premium copper-based cooling solution. The MSRP for the XFX MERC319 BLACK RX 6700 XT is set at $569.00, a $90 premium over the 6700 XT reference model’s MSRP. 4K UHD is a bit of a stretch for any of the cards mentioned with all the details turned up but certainly possible with a slight quality reduction. This card really shines at WQHD (2560 x 1440), reaching well over 60 FPS, and it’s a close race with the RTX 3070. The MERC319 RX 6700 XT did this while using slightly less power than the RTX 3060 Ti. Performance-wise, this overclocked card performed well in our testing – finishing between the RTX 3060 Ti and 3070 while even outperforming the latter in some tests. Overall, it’s a good-looking card and will fit in with most build themes. A full-length aluminum backplate with the MERC logo in white cleans up the card’s backside while adding some rigidity. The 2.6-slot cooling solution includes an LED light bar on the card’s facing edge showing the “XFX” logo, RADEON branding, and card model (RX 6700 XT). The MERC319 BLACK version of this card brings a robust VRM design, a large aluminum triple-fan shroud, plated copper heatsink, as well as an overclock out of the box. This is the next iteration of AMD’s RDNA2 architecture, NAVI 22 XT, and according to AMD, it is ideal for 1440p gaming fitting in the product stack right behind the RX 6800 and above the RX 6700.

Today, thanks to XFX, we have the MERC319 BLACK RX 6700 XT that will be available to consumers as of March 18th, 2021.
