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.

    Because at just 10% the 4070 is the better buy. With the current prices the only time I would recommend the 7800xt is for 4k gaming, where the 16 gigs of vram can actually make a difference, but tbh neither of those cards are 4k cards. They shine at 1440p. Why lose all the nvidia features for just $50? It makes no sense.

      I feel bad buying either one currently. I feel guilty supporting Nvidia, and feel bad buying AMD because I miss out on better upscale and better RT. So I’m just going to hold onto my 6600xt and hope RDNA4 has better features. But who knows, because by then the 4070 ti Super 16gb will probably match it in price, and likely still have better features.
