TPU have it as 42% faster, on average, which if you're struggling to play games @ 1440p might be worth it to you.

If we're talking buying a new 6700xt then yes at 1440p, IF you need the extra performance. I have the 6600 and would do the upgrade if i felt i could utilise the card right now. If you're happy with the 6600 then the 6700xt should allow the same enjoyment for a good while given the large increase in vram.
I've found the 6700xt for £280 so its very tempting. I got the 6600 in April/May time as my first foray into PC gaming and am finding myself now playing most days. Whilst all games have so far been playable (and enjoyable) - Im currently playing SotTR and am getting about 70FPS on basically high settings, so its extremely playable, but monkey see monkey want as they say and I did get an almost £600 bonus in this last pay packet and am talking myself into it as I type 
The Witcher part in one of the videos above helped sway to a yes as well showing 47 v 83 FPS at 1440p.

i see you asked the same question on HUKD lol
it's approx 40-45% increase in performance (see @Tetras post)
it's just about on the cusp of a decent upgrade - normally i would say +50% for the upgrade to be noticeable (and worth the time, hassle, +/- money involved)

I think that's a good call. A 6750XT is essentially a very slightly faster 6700XT. Not worth 25% more money.
I bought a 6700XT recently (for £300). I also game at 1440. It's fine unless you're playing Starfield. But that's Starfield. It's not normal. Or 7 Days to Die, which is notoriously bad on performance in cities. But again, that's not normal (and not as much due to the graphics card as it's a voxel game).
I think it will do me for a couple of years, probably. Although I do already have a slight case of upgraditis and slightly regret not buying a 7900XT when they were briefly £700. But only a slight case of upgraditis. The 6700XT is fine really. Just the job as a tide-over card until next gen is out and I can see if any of those are worth the money to me. I'm getting 100+ average fps in all the games I play. 200fps in some of them. Fine for the time being. Really. It's fine. I don't really want another new toy. Honestly.

You've just ordered a 7900 haven't you?
I ran a 6700xt on a 1440p 32" panel for quite a while and it smashed through it admirably. Only things I ran into a drop from vsync was with RT e.g. DOOM Eternal. Even ran my current ultrawide on it for a bit too and no problems getting to vsync 60 on 99% of stuff
Under rated cards and pack a real punch.

Been thinking about an upgrade myself currently got a 6650xt and I've noticed it starting to struggle I do have my eye on a 7800 but not keen on dropping nearly 600 quid on a GPU a 6700 seems more reasonable
6700XT isn't going to be a massive upgrade on what you have. Turn a few settings down and wait until the 7800XT hits reasonable pricing. If you can get a Pulse for £450 in a few months time, maybe even Black Friday, although it's mostly just another scam these days, that's going to be a lot better allocation of your money than £300 on a 6700XT and you'll be set for a lot longer - i'massuming you're at 1440p as the 6700XT and 6800XT are cards which currently make the most sense at that resolution. Plus with a newer gen card you're probably going to get better FSR3 implementation than on old tech. Plus you're getting 16GB VRAM.
Sort of in the same boat with a 6700XT - 7800XT/7900XT are just £100 overpriced for me to upgrade. I'll happily stay with this card for another year though.

Not now. The older I get the more resistance I gain to upgraditis. Part of the reason why I have spare money now. The more the prices go up, the less appealing the products are to me. £800 for a graphics card is solidly in "not worth that much to me" territory. Even if it was a 4090 I probably wouldn't. It's only a mild case of upgraditis. Also, I know it would switch to something else afterwards. New motherboard, CPU and memory. Faster SSD. There's usually something.
I'd be surprised if it happens soon, because AMD did the usual thing of releasing the new models at a higher price point. When the 6700 XT sells out, then maybe they'll drop.
