Are there any reviews for the Radeon 6700? Not the XT version, the new 6700.

It's cheap (at current prices) and doesn't look much cut down from the 6700XT, but I want to see some numbers before I make any decision. All I can find is rumours about it before release and single paragraphs about it since release, with specs. I'm particularly interested in the Sapphire Pulse model because it's the one OcUK has in stock right now.

I'd be gaming at 1440 on it, which I think it would handle OK. Probably.

Yep as eddyr said. Fabio does lots of redeon reviews/benches. Seems like if its same price as the 6600XT then get it, otherwise if you are targeting 1440 like you mention then the full fat XT is better if you can find it cheap enough.

6700 is a bit cheaper than a 6600XT here on OcUK. Which is a bit odd, but that reviewer found the same thing in Portugal. And now I'm undecided again about what to buy. The last time that happened I missed my chance to buy a 3060 Ti. They were in stock for a couple of days and I foolishly assumed I had plenty of time to think about it. I didn't and they've been out of stock for over a week now. Maybe I'll just say "Eh, whatever" and buy a 6700XT. Or a 3070. By the time I make a decision the AMD 8000 series and nvidia 5000 series will be out :)

I would always assume that a used card has no warranty and make a decision on that basis. The warranty agreement is between the manufacturer and the purchaser. It's not up to the purchaser reselling the card whether or not the remaining term of the warranty transfers to the person they're selling it to. Unless you have it in writing from the company that issues the warranty (or that company has a blanket policy of allowing the transfer of warranties) you don't have a warranty agreement with them. Not for 3 years. Not for 3 minutes. Your contract would be with the person who sells the card to you, not with the company that made the card. You didn't buy the card from them. They're not involved unless they agree to be involved.

Is a used 6700XT with no warranty worth £40 more than a new 6700 with a warranty? Your call.
