In today's episode of cool stuff that nobody will be able to buy we will be looking at AMDs latest offering, the 6700 & 6700XT...
French tech outlet "Cowcotland" is reporting that AMDs next RDNA2 SKUs will be on shelves and ready to buy (yeah right) by the end of March 2021.
The 6700 series will sit somewhere around the bottom of the top tier offerings from AMD with an expected RRP of $500.
Previous rumours had suggested we would get the cards sooner but TBH, given everything that's going on in the world ATM a few month delay was inevitable.

Yeah, I fully expect it to be a paper launch when it finally does arrive anyway. I'm kind of interested in how much better the 6700XT will be over my 5700XT. $500 (£450) is around the top end of what I'm willing to spend on a GPU and it would be nice to have RT as an option, even if it does only do basic RT stuff.
