The AMDRadeon RX 6700andRX 6700XTare the obvious product announcements that we expect on March 3. Of course, until the actual announcement event, we simply don’t know  for sure – though we can certainly hope it’s those AMD GPUs.

When theRadeon RX 6800 XTandRX 6900 XTlaunched late last year, the 6700 XT was noticeably absent. With theNvidia Geforce RTX 3060launching later this week and theRTX 3060 Tibeing released in December 2020, the RX 6700XT and RX 6700 would naturally square up against these two on the budget-conscious end of the next-gen graphics card market.
