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.

    I saw a 4070 for 530$ with a 20$ promo code and with Alan Wake on newegg the other day. And when you see that the 4070 beats the 7900xtx in path tracing natively in games like alan wake, never mind with things like DLSS 3, 3.5, yeah the 7800xt needs to be atleast 15-20% cheaper to make up rt hardware and software deficiencies to be a better buy imo.

      Yes the 4070 is better in 1% of games. Whereas better raster performance for the other 99%. DLSS is just a nice-to-have.

      Raster performance will always be king as the 1st priority for a GPU.

      Very obvious cherry picking.

        Why settle for raster if you could have better lighting, though? E.g., the difference is night and day in games like Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk.
