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.

    Under your 4070 list:

    Nos. 3 and 7 are just BS tbh.

    AMD drivers are fine.

    And if a game has DLSS but doesn’t have FSR…you don’t HAVE to use the setting at all…not like a game becomes unplayable without it.

    I’ve always hated how FSR looks…and I’ve always ran games native at 1440p…I’m on a 6800XT and had it since launch…still make current UE5 games look amazing and perfectly smooth FPS…case in point…Lords of the Fallen which is a UE5 game…never bothered to turn it on cuz didn’t need it.

    Also nobody buys a 7800XT for its “efficiency”.

    For RT performance…sure…4070 better for sure…and if you’re into RT then DLSS will make a huge diff.

    But if you’re like the majority who still don’t care much for RT…then it doesn’t matter as much.

      With the way things are going dlss and fsr are gonna be mandatory unless you want a 30fps slideshow. Just look at any UE5 game or Allan Wake 2.
