Cyberpunk 2077 real wrold testing, the 7800 XT clocked 142 fps at 1080p using the high-quality preset, making it 9% faster than the RTX 4070. This difference expands to 16% at 1440p and then 22% at 4K. RX 7800 XT offers competitive performance, and it undercuts the RTX 4070 in terms of price. However, The RTX 4070 has a broader feature set, including technologies like RTX (ray tracing) and DLSS 3.0, Nvidia’s drivers generally offer better game compatibility (apparently), experienced gamers know high average FPS alone isn’t enough; stability, noise levels, and features matter but we're talking about 3 fans on the AMD product and 1 on the FE edition NVidia card.

[@beermotorhsv]

Good take as usual, but I wanted to send out a note about something I wasn't aware of until recently: apparently Bethesda games work extremely well with AMD's Fluid Motion Frames so people are getting 300-500FPS (at 1440p at least) using a 7900XTX with heavily-modded Fallout 4 or Skyrim SE with Reshade and/or ENB. Not sure of the CPUs being used.

The new GPUs are just going to slot in between the existing product stack. Prices aren't going to change, maybe a little bit but nothing much. I hope I'm wrong and we get drastic price changes. I think the 4080 super should be halved in price maybe even more (the cheapest 4080 super i can get here in stores is over 1300usd(with tax)), I'd probably get it if it's around 500 usd.

[@dovahkin97]

That expectation is simply bonkers. Even a 4070 Super is more expensive than that.

[@skivvywaver]

The reason to shop AMD at $500 or less. Ray tracing isn't ready for prime time even on Nvidia's high end. Until it's done right I am not too concerned with it. That is Nvidia's only advantage for gamers, the rest of Nvidia's special and expensive features us scurvy gamers have no clue how to use.

Now I plan on keeping my 7900xtx possibly as long as my 1080. Even if the 5080/90 had twice the performance of the 7900xtx, I wouldn’t consider it because of price and power connector concerns.

[@PixelShade]

Here in Sweden, I find it kind of crazy that people by default choose nvidia cards, even at the low- to mid-range. It really must be due to nvidia marketing and mind share. I mean when I bought my RX6800 it was the same price as a 3060Ti, even in RT they the RX6800 performs better... At the high-end I can understand going for nvidia, but when you go for cards around 600EUR or below it just doesn't make much sense. (this comment is broadly generalized of course, and during certain sales you could potentially get a good nvidia-deal in the mid-range as well)

[@maksymilianzajac5262]

[@zantep3734]

This is true, everyone here in Italy also defaults to Nvidia and Intel for CPUs, doesn't make much sense at the low-mid range, but i think from the 600EUR mark Radeon's value start to decrease, yes i can grab a 7900GRE for 550, but is it worth? for 50 more i could get a 4070S which is a tad bit slower in raster, but comes with a MASSIVE feature set compared to Radeon and a ton more of performance in RT. Obviously this is just hypothetical since every single user has a different need.

[@Dempig]

@@zantep3734 The RT performance of a 4070s is still terrible though, even though its much better than the amd equivalent. I really dont get the argument about ray tracing on budget nvidia cards, they are far too weak to be worth using RT. I wouldnt use RT on anything less than a 4080.

Lowest price of an RTX4080 Super in my country ? : a cool 1450 euros. Again 12v adapter or new power supply (that natively supports 12v cable) costs not included. The average price of an RX7900XTX in my country : 1040 euros. No adapters or power supply change needed. I want a GPU that i plug in, turn on my system and get immediate results in 1440p all maxed out settings with high frame rates. No need to cripple my FPS with RT since i don't use nor care for it yet. When the time comes, where all GPUs do a very good job at RT with high, smooth and consistent FPS without the need to upscale, then i will be turning that feature on. For now, i won't use Upscaling to have HALF of my normal FPS in order to use a gimmick. Sorry. Knowing how GPU launches go, the shortages and the scalping? I went for the 7900xtx brand new. I've waited for this chance for a while, right when the market is kinda saturated with GPUs, new generations will be launching in a while, but still the prices aren't dropping because the MSRPs are so high. Which is a bummer but it is what it is.

I just bought an MSI Gaming X Slim RTX 4070 Ti Super from MicroCenter this weekend for $783 (open box - $870 MRSP). Playing Halo Infinite using out-of-box settings (no frame generation with most settings on high), I'm getting a max 180 FPS in-game, and about 300 FPS in the menu screen, even though I capped the FPS to 144 FPS, along with V-Sync ON to match my monitor's refresh rate. It does not cap in Halo Infinite and drawing over 200 watts of power. In Halo MCC's Combat Evolved, with most of the settings on high without frame generation, I was able to cap it to 120 FPS drawing 28 watts, but before I did that, it was going all the way up to 900 FPS drawing 79 watts. The card also runs very cool and have not gone above 62 deg C in Halo Infinite, which pushes other graphics cards to 78 deg C. This MSI card is a real winner with NO NEED to get anything more expensive. The funny thing is, running Unigine Heaven Benchmark on this card (on a Ryzen 9 5900X) vs the Arc A770 16GB card on another PC (with a Ryzen 7 5800X), both cards returned scores only 2 points apart. The RTX 4070 Ti Super came back with 361 max FPS, while the Arc A770 16GB came back with 363 max FPS. I still believe the Arc A770 16GB card is the best bang for the buck, but the drivers are still very immature, but are getting better. Still, I am very happy with the RTX 4070 Ti Super and is a real beast of a card with reasonable power usage. Buy open-box if you can find it at your local MicroCenter.

I just bought a 4070 Super after 5 years of a 2060. Ahh, temporary happiness. This is actually the first time I've spent more than 350 on a GPU. Came out to $575 (but did come with a game I wanted) which sucks, but whatever.

[@ZeePanzer]

If you want Ray tracing, go nvidia, but dont buy a 3060 to have ray tracing performance, a lot of people do this (the 6700XT smokes it on ray tracing, even though it loses more % performance activating it)

[@youtubevanced4900]

I don’t get people talking about path tracing with any of these cards, particularly the mid range ones. I’ve got a 4090 and path tracing in cyberpunk is unplayable IMO. The frame rate is so low. Down in the teens if you turn everything on in Cyberpunk at 1440p Ultrawide. Yeah you can turn on DLSS but then you’re introducing a bunch of weird glitching and flickering.

RayTracing is unplayable, unless the game is heavily optimized (e.g. starfield (since their latest update), star wars survivor) - If it's optimized, then amd is also JUST FINE! I have a 7900 XTX (bought at 1100€ (+50€ for sub 1 day delivery), at that time the 4080 super wasn't out, and the 4080 costed 1400€+) - I can play EVERY GAME at MAX SETTINGS 1440p (WITH Raytracigin, except alan wake 2 and cyberpunk) at 144fps+ The Software of AMD is amazing, however i experienced black screen issues, i managed to fix them with a better quality displayport 2.1 cable. My rx 7900 xtx has a tdp of 390, the max draw you can archive is 490w. Where i archive benchmark wise 4090 (-4%) performance With undervolting and power limitation, i managed to play at 1440p max settings, 144fps with 200-240W power draw! Which means, nvidia isn't the only "efficient" card. Right now i'd buy nvidia > Amd cause their prices dropped and amd didn't Excited to see rx 8000 series and nvidia 5000 series Both are very promising from the leaks!

[@anitaremenarova6662]

Ooof, AMD cope. Any game with actual RT implementation will tank your card not just those two. Plague tale requiem, Hogwarts Legacy + Ratchet and Clank are some more examples that'll make you go from beating 4080S to being 50% slower. Glad you enjoy the card but don't lie to people about the RT performance, in most games that have it you'll be playing with it off.

[@ChrissyCode]

​@@anitaremenarova6662 Yes, let's say cyberpunk No raytracing: 144fps+ With raytracing: 40fps With low raytracing: 70fps If i'd use nvidia 4080 (price wise same) I'd had similar fps with Raytracing, which for me is unplayable, i need at least 144fps+ which i can't archive at games with real proper rt, that's what i ment. Raytracing isn't good enough for gaming yet, it's unoptimized. Also the RT on starfield is very good, almost as good as on cyberpunk

I'm usually hard-pressed to tell if i have FSR enabled but even so, Radeon GPUs can use Intel XeSS so why don' t you compare DLSS to XeSS? Apparently, XeSS is also supposed to be better than FSR so this "TED-talk" of yours about DLSS vs. FSR is irrelevant because if XeSS is better than FSR, then Radeon owners will use XeSS instead. That's what your comparison should be.

You'll need to mod it in which can cause issues and isn't as good as dev implementation. Many people buying GPUs also don't have the technical know-how and just want to plug and play.

As someone who uses hardware for a very long time before upgrading, I only upgrade when the new card is at least 2 times (200%) faster. Generation by generation, the uplift is usually 40-50%, so once every 4 generations is ideal, unless we want a very specific feature that needs a quicker upgrade. So the upgrades in my 2 pcs - main PC: GTX 970 -> RTX 3070 (though would have liked a 10 GB buffer at least), and living room gaming PC: GTX 1070 Ti -> RX 6700 XT (though the uplift this time is less than 2x, I wanted AMD for SteamOS/ ChimeraOS desktop that does not support NVIDIA.

I have to agree with dlss on 1080p. I had been playing helldivers with it on so I could get 50+ fps (that's with all settings turned down to medium/low on my laptop 3060). Out of curiosity I turned off dlss and switched to native and couldn't believe how sharp the game looked. I only get 40 fps or lower now and I've lowered my settings a bit more to accomplish this but I can't go back to how muddy the image looked before. I'm planning a new PC build and it's based around my current 1080p widescreen monitor and potentially moving up to 1440p but with native rendering at max settings so I'm looking at the rx 7800 xt as a setup I can use for years to come

[@ltdada74]

The 4070 super is this generation’s best allround 1440p gpu imo. It runs almost everything between 120/144 fps for the coming years as no-one plays on ultra settings. DLSS is just superior to FSR which remains AMD’s achilles heal and therefore a non option. For 600,- the pricing is ok, we’re never going back to 300,- pricings for this tier’s cards. Imagine having bought a 3090 for +1500,- just to be equalled by this card years later, buying the top tier card never makes sense, unless you wanna play at 4k +60 fps.

[@blackhorseteck8381]

Nvidia's VRAM situation is down right laughable, I know they are segmenting their cards to favor the 4090 for any LLM workloads for non servers and focusing most on the $10K + dedicated AI GPUs.

[@anitaremenarova6662]

I'm here to yet again recommend the RX 6800, right now it's only 375 bucks and demolishes team green in terms of value. Only the 4070 beats it slightly but it costs 200 more, my recommendation is 4070S for fully cranked out 1440p or the 4070tiS for PT or 4K and if you want to go cheaper than that just get AMD.
