I'm interested to see how this card stacks up in modern titles like BFV an Cyberpunk2077 compared to older cards at 1080 and 1440p, like the Vega 56 and 64.

I own a Vega 56 and I think I saw it has more stream processors than the 6700XT, so, not sure if worth the upgrade.

Those RDNA2 stream processors used in the new RX 6xxx series are much faster and more efficient than the ones used in Vega. Since its targeting the 3070, lets use that as an example, in the review below you have the Vega 56 getting 46 FPS on Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p Ultra, while the RTX 3070 gets 91. The story is similar throughout that entire review, with the 3070 being 50 - 100% faster depending on the game and settings. Since the RX 6700 is aiming for that level of performance, you can expect it to maintain roughly the same lead over your current Vega 56. If you can find one at a decent price, it may be worth the upgrade. That being said, its not like your Vega 56 cant still game, it just cant game at as high of a level as the newer cards.
