Price & Value
Right now the Radeon RX 6700 XT starts at $135,761 INR against $196,812 INR for the Radeon RX 6800 XT. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 6800 XT wins on performance-per-dollar by about 6%. The Radeon RX 6700 XT still sits about $135,282 INR above its $479 INR MSRP. The Radeon RX 6800 XT still sits about $196,163 INR above its $649 INR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon RX 6700 XT pulls less power (230W vs 300W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Radeon RX 6800 XT draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 16GB against 12GB, the Radeon RX 6800 XT has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 6700 XT's 12GB can fall short. The Radeon RX 6800 XT's memory is also faster — 512 GB/s versus 384 GB/s (256-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: Radeon RX 6700 XT or Radeon RX 6800 XT?
The Radeon RX 6800 XT is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon RX 6700 XT if you find it at a steep discount.
