Looking at the advantages, the 7800xt has:

  1. 10% lower price

  2. 4 more gigs of vram

  3. 6% better raster performance.

The 4070 has:

  1. Better frame gen

  2. Better upscaling via dlss

  3. Better drivers

  4. Better rt performance

  5. CUDA for the few people that actually need it.

  6. Better power efficiency.

  7. The ability to use both dlss and fsr. If a game just has dlss, amd users are screwed.

All in all I think the AMD card is still the underdog based in advantages and needs to be at least 15% cheaper in order to sway buyers to team red. For just a $50 price difference, the team green advantages are too stacked imo.

Edit: this is of course in the US market. Every market is different.

    Aka “AI use cases” = massive growth market (growth in use case).

    Not everyone “needs” AI, but it’s great to have the capability.

    Note: I’m long-time team-red fan & finally after wasting better part of a year on high-end AMD cards (vega64 liquid cooled, other variant cards w/32gb vram, etc) & never getting them to: A) work at all … or B) perform like crap w/rocm.
