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.

    Frame gen has a minor benefit on such a weak card (and AMD has an equivalent), DLSS was so near to indistinguishable from FSR in Alan Wake 2 that most people won’t care, better drivers is fair, better RT is fair (though it still isn’t super compelling in this performance segment in general), CUDA is 100% a plus, power efficiency is 100% a plus, and there’s an FSR patch for DLSS only games (DLSS unlocker). So, in conclusion, a few of your 4070 “features” are kinda weak motivators.
