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 am using AFMF from adrenaline software (unoptimized frame generation for games that didn’t implemented FSR3).

    At first I only had a 60Hz monitor and the result with 30Hz cap was… strange.

    Then I got a new 170Hz monitor with Freesync, capped at 85Hz and it’s glorious, minimal artifact and real smoothness (and no screen tearing due to freesync even with vsync off -if you never experienced freesync-)

    There are some games that were out this year with FSR 1.0… so if you count on devs…

    I’m sure that DLSS 3.0 with Nvidia Reflex is really good but Nvidia lowered their price because of AMD, not because AMD struggle to sell their 7800 XT.
