Performance comparison: which is faster?
AMD Radeon Pro W6800 (AMD, 2022) and Radeon RX 6700 (AMD, 2022) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: Radeon Pro W6800 is about 5.9% faster
For generative AI, the higher-VRAM Radeon Pro W6800（32GB） has the advantage. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | Radeon Pro W6800 | RX 6700 |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 18,000 | 17,000 |
| VRAM | 32GB | 10GB |
| Manufacturer | AMD | AMD |
| Series | Pro | RX 6000 |
| Release Year | 2022 | 2022 |
| Compatible CPU Example | Ryzen 5 3500X | Ryzen 5 2600X |
These generative AI models can run on only one GPU because of the VRAM difference (Stable Diffusion, Flux, LLMs, and others).
— None (all models that run on Radeon Pro W6800 also run here)
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | Radeon Pro W6800 |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | Radeon Pro W6800 |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | RX 6700 (the lower model is often sufficient) |
Radeon Pro W6800 is about 5.9% higher by score (Radeon Pro W6800: 18000 points / RX 6700: 17000 points). Actual fps also varies by resolution, game, and CPU, so price is a reasonable deciding factor when the gap is only a few percent.
Radeon Pro W6800 has 32GB of VRAM, while RX 6700 has 10GB; Radeon Pro W6800 has more. If image generation or a local LLM is even a possibility, the higher-VRAM option provides more room.
Using our guideline, Ryzen 5 3500X pairs well with Radeon Pro W6800 and Ryzen 5 2600X with RX 6700 (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
