RX 6700 XT is compatible with big sur?

Very curious about this too! Hope the 6700XT will be working with Mac Big Sur soon!

Along the lines, what about 11.5 beta 3 … has anyone more info?

Not sure if it is correct info, but this article about eGPU unit for Mac mini mentions RX 6700.

Sonnet DuoModo eGPU Module​

The enclosure supports 2.5-width graphics cards, as well as full-length and full-height cards. Supported hardware includes AMD Radeon cards currently available to use in macOS. This includes support for the Radeon RX 5500 to 5700 XT range, the Radeon Pro W5500 and W5700, and the Radeon RX 6700, Radeon RX 6800 XT, and 6900 XT.

Sorry, but the official site has no any mention of these. Still, no solid info so far. I was really surprised that Apple did not include support for 6700 along with 6800/6900. Having looked at amd site, they refer all devices from 6700 through 6900 as "RX 6000 Series graphics cards". And I expected to get 6700 baked in, when Apple announced "6000 series support".

The RX 6700 XT uses a different graphics chip (Navi 22) compared to the rest (Navi 21), so it is not surprising that there is no support for it in the graphics drivers included in Big Sur 11.4 / 11.5, which apparently is intended to support Navi 21 only.

Thanks, I know it

May be Apple thinks, their M1x GPU will be enough in the mid range graphics. They support 6800, 6900 as they have no M1 equivalent.

Yes, it may be. It would be a pity for owners of 6700 though
