Customers often highlight the excellent performance and effective cooling system of the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT EAGLE 12GB GDDR6 graphics card, with many praising its ability to run games smoothly at high settings and remain quiet during operation. Positive feedback also mentions the overall quality of the GPU itself. However, a common concern among customers is the relatively high price point.
First off, let me say that the installation of the drivers was a real pain. Not a fault of the card, but the AMD drivers. During each install, the screen would go black and my monitor would stop receiving an input, even after using DDU. Finally fixed this issue by connecting the computer to my TV, which displayed correctly and allowed me to finish the setup without a hitch. Since then, I have been playing a few games and I am impressed with the results. The card is not the fastest, but it is still fast enough to run most games on ultra. Card stays extremely quiet and cool while in game, enough to where I can hardly hear it over my case fans. Card does not have much RGB, but it has a narrow strip than can be controlled through Gigabyte's software. Card is overpriced at current price, but in a world where an RX 580 is going for 300 dollars, it's a decent option for those not willing to wait for availability.

Much better than expected. RDR2 running at 1440p ultra with medium lighting 65-110fps, usually around 90 but never dips below 65 with my old i7-6700k @ 4500mhz which is surprising. Card is massive. I had a hard time getting it into my old 2006 cooler master centurion 5 case. I managed to get it in there by putting it into the case at an angle, part of the card into the hard drive bays first, so it would fit in there. I also had to remove a hard drive slider from the drive bay to get it to fit. It did take me a minute or two to figure out how to get it in there . Works wonderfully. Runs very cool. I have no intake cooling fans in this case at the moment, only 1-120mm fan and another 120mm fan at the bottom of the PSU as outtake fans, and even then it maxes out around 72c sustained load. I got mine for about 750 with tax through open box deal and I am very pleased. No buyers remorse here, but I wouldn't pay much more than that.

Solid performance gains over the 5700xt. Gigabyte put a giant honkin' cooler on this thing and it runs great. These AMD cards tend to run hot under load, but with the massive heatsink haven't had any issues. I like to tweak settings on my GPUs and this thing is pretty solid. 6800/6900 is a good step up, but no complaints about the 6700xt. As a practical matter, if you are happy with your 5700xt or 2070super or whatever - probably not worth the cost and hassle of upgrading now. That said, if you are moving from an R7 or 470 or 1060 or something this is a very good choice.
