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.

    “better driver”

    Yeah nope about that one, if anything their software suite is a disaster

      I moved to AMD this year and have had more driver crashes in the first seven months then I did with 7 years of Nvidia.

      That is really persistent legend that continues that AMD has shitty drivers. I’ve never had any problems with AMD drivers in the past. Nvidia drivers are the only ones that bricked my Windows years ago and forced me to reinstall Windows. That’s inexcusable failure. Also all the cases of their driver bugs destroying cards via overheating

      AMD drivers are rock solid and have been since last generation. Whatever “issues” you’re running into are probably self inflicted.

      You’re either lying, incompetent, or are a Nvidia bot.
