Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 10GB

Excellent value for money

For around £400 (and sometimes less) this card is an anomaly in the range (often cheaper than a 6650XT). Originally created for cryptocurrency mining, it has morphed into the RX 6700 10GB to sell them off despite the fall in cryptos.
The card is quiet and efficient. Tested only under Linux (Fedora 36) with open source drivers (RADV and radeonsi). Works perfectly in 1080p Ultra with all the games I give it (Cyberpunk 2077, Control, Hitman 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, ...). Can definitely tackle 1440p Ultra on most games.
For raytracing currently under Linux the support is quite limited. Control is the only functional game with FPS divided by 2 when raytracing is enabled. However, mesa developers are working on improving performance to reach parity with AMD's proprietary driver. Eventually it should be possible to enable raytracing to a minimum without affecting performance too much.
The 10GB of VRAM is really appreciated to be ready for the next few years.
In short, it's the perfect way to comfortably play all the latest games in 1080p/1440p without breaking the bank.

Fairly average

At the time I bought it, the price was very good. I wouldn't recommend this card at the current price, that's obvious.

In the beginning it wasn't too bad. The card is quite noisy with a slight coil whine, but not insurmountable for me. Performance was good, at 1440p, and I was even able to get close to 4K on some games with some sacrifices on graphics. But for the past 2 months, I've been experiencing visual artefacts. After some tests, the problem is really with the card. As soon as I was using it a bit intensively, it started to appear. Absolutely unpleasant.
So I contacted the after-sales service, which went well, with quick answers, precise questions, and then the card was taken care of. Despite a few unsuccessful negotiations to find a solution that would suit me, such as a refund via an LDLC voucher, the only solution they considered was a repair after diagnosis, which took 3/4 weeks.... it's a long time to have your work and entertainment PC immobilised for potentially a month.

So I'm waiting to hear. Is repair possible, or an exchange or refund? We'll see.

Bad cooling system

As soon as I bought it, it got very hot, so I couldn't run anything more than rocket league or minecraft. Which for such a powerful graphics card is unacceptable.

Powerful, well ventilated

Excellent performance tested in 1080, all games between 80 and 120fps in ultra quality. The card is not as big as the sapphire rx 570 nitro 4gb it replaces but the temperatures are good (rarely above 55°). I'm not sure if it's the same as my rx 570, but it's very quiet and there's no difference. No visible problems with bottleneck cpu (I have an "old" ryzen 5 2600 on an asrock b450 pro 4) or problems with my power supply (only 500W of good quality). The delivery was not great (5 days instead of 2)

Excellent value for money

For the price I am not disappointed. Bought to replace an aging 2060, the performance gain is significant in 1440 ultrawide.

Nothing to say, everything was impeccable

Nothing to say in particular except that everything was impeccable.
Once again, thanks to LDLC for processing the order

efficient, low heat and attractive price

I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to check it out and see how it's doing.
And at this price, you can't afford not to.

Linux compatibility present

I bought this graphics card to use on a Debian 11 machine. When trying to implement it, I encountered some problems, I could not display more than the console. You have to install the kernel from the backports repository and the amdgpu-firmware package from Debian 12 and it works. It will work fine under Debian 12, after installing the firmwares, of course.
The card has been tested under Ubuntu 22.04 and it works directly from the installed system.

Disappointed by AMD's service!

I ordered the graphics card on 16/07/2022, it was dispatched on 26/07/2022 and unfortunately it had a faulty Display port. I took it to the shop for after-sales service, the 14-day period was counted from 16/07/2022 (invoice date) and not from the delivery date! Of course I had to go through the manufacturer's after-sales service and I had to wait a little over 3 weeks to be taken care of for a defective new product! As a result, I was able to start using the graphics card 1 and a half months after my purchase !!!!

I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure how long it's been in use, so I'm not sure if it's a good choice. The big black spot is the reliability, which leaves me wondering what it will do over time.
