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.

    Honestly if I was really that strapped for money and had to have that tight of a budget I’d personally go 7800xt just for the fact I only do raster gaming pretty much in mmos and competative games and even when I play minecraft for example I just use shaders and texture packs and don’t touch rt.

    Even then an extra $80? for less raster and less vram feels like a kick in the nuts imo
