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.

    You’re wildly overstating things. The only time a 60 class successor got close to an 83% uplift was the 960->1060, at 72% via techpowerup, and even then it was still on the same die (x06), the 4070 is on the x04 die which has been exclusively reserved for 60ti class and above cards since Maxwell. So by both performance and specs this is way off.

    You could easily argue it’s a 60ti card, but suggesting it’s actually a 60 class card in spite of all this (and should also therefore be <$350) make no sense.
