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.

[@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]

maybe amd will catch up one day with both marketing, performance and reliability

[@iitzfizz]

I have 6750 XT, best card under £300 imo. 6800 or 7700 XT best cards under £400. AMD offering way better value.

[@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.

[@Gamer4Eire]

AMD cards run much hotter, consume more power and ultimately perform worse... as someone who owned three cards 6700, 6800 and 6900XT, the move to Nvidia was incredible

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.

Do you plan on using ray tracing if not or secondary to performance check out benchmarks between 7900xt $700 and 7900xtx $930 (this card is basically the same rasterization performance as the 4080) it's silly 7900xt often wins vs 4070ti super non ray-tracing proformance and is just short in ray tracing.....but then if you muck it up with path tracing the 4070ti wins, again use case what your willing to deal with but amd can do some ray tracing but path tracing is basically not possible for the 7900xt without about 50% loss in fps vs ray tracing 4070ti super-$790 7900xt-$700 4080 super-$1000 7900xtx-$930 So if you wanna look it up the card for 4080 super is the PNY RTX 4080 Super 16gb Verto

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.

At the low end, and pre-owned, I’d recommend either a 6600 XT or a 3060 12gb, which I’m surprised Daniel didn’t mention… I picked up both of these pre-owned for about £200 each on EBay in UK. Performance is similar but the 3060 has the edge in most games, and the 12gb and DLSS really helps. At 1440p CP2077 and Alan Wake 2 run more smoothly and look far better on the 3060. It’s a really solid card for single player games with nice visuals, especially at 1440p/1800p @ 60fps with mid/high settings in many games. I wanted a 6700/6750XT but these are not available new in UK and are going for £300+ on eBay preowned!

I'm building a new PC, upgrading from a 1080 Ti. I chose the 4080 super as a placeholder until the 5090 comes out. I usually go top of the line, but the 4090 doesn't make sense at this point.

[@TheRandomDude-qy1ev]

Just got me 4070 super aorus master. Don't regret it one bit, nor will I. i can ultra anything at 4k, and use DLSS in a few. 1440p 120fps gaming no problem. the whole 12gb thing? I've yet to see even one situation where it's a problem. And if it was? I'd turn down 1 thing no biggie. So far tho never an issue. Quite the opposite actually.

[@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)

[@jporter504]

Curious to see where AMD's 7000 series will end up. The 6000 series had some shining stars after initial price drops. Everything from the RX 6600 to RX 6800 was best in class for the last two years or so. Will the RX 7700xt drop to $325? The RX 7800xt drop to $450? If so, watch out.

[@Lakabee-tz4xj]

To the dump. Considering that RDNA4 will be a minor patch to RDNA3's power delivery issue and bug fixes is a telling that both 7000s and 8000s are skip generations. Even AMD backs their direction with RDNA5. Unless you can find a good golden deal, I'd say the 6000s are the best bang right now.

I bought the RX 6700XT Red Devil just recently.

[@Jtretta]

I had a 1080 that I replaced with a used 7900xtx for about 900usd with tax back in January. I had upgraded each generation before that, 780 to 980 to 1080, because the performance was so much better and the price still relatively reasonable. 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.

[@AronStensaa]

Love lg oled, I own the C1 aswell.

[@alexello]

I just wish we had such GPU prices here in Estonia. 4070 Super starts from 790 EUR, 4070 Ti Super - 980 EUR (some trustworthy models start from 1050+ EUR) Got my 4070 Super (Asus Strix) last week for 860 EUR (~955 USD). I'm totally happy with my new GPU, but prices still drive me mad!

[@deathshocker77]

I plan on upgrading this July, atm I am using XFX RX 580 8GB GTS XXX and going to upgrade to RX 7900 XT GRE, I am trying replace the fans on this 580 but I keep getting bad set of main blades that connect to the GPU board to transfer power, ATM I keep getting short cables compare to old fan that has longer cable...

If you're using dlss quality with a 4060 16gb, shouldn't that work pretty well compared to others I the same price bracket? Considering a lot of the time, dlss quality can have a cleaner image? 🤔

[@manishpattanshetty]

I am planning to get a 4070 ti super and R9 7900x build by June or July, what do I do? Wait for 5000 series or go with the current gen? I did consider 7900 XTX but I'm a game dev and I'm also into 3d animation sooo... I need a Nvidia graphics card for a better ray and path tracing performance. please help me decide.

[@anitaremenarova6662]

Get the ti super, the XTX performs like a 4080S and that isn't enough of a jump to sacrifice all the other functionality of an nvidia card.

[@aliensounddigital8729]

Already got a red devil 6950xt. Other than pumping out heat like a reactor at load. It works very well. I think people need to get 16GB cards as a default. Sadly the whole build at idle and to 60hz display is about 130-200w. At 144hz takes the idle power up to 150w+. At full load it's about 720w+ or so. Minus the transient spikes from the videocard. I do not recommend any card over $650 minus tax. Then again depends what people want and need.I do recommend a monitor with 120hz/144hz support. Can not stand running games at 60 hz anymore. V-sync is so annoying.

[@swianr]

Yo your room must be a sauna after playing 2 hours at full load I have a 4070 and that little beast barely pulls 130-140watts after undervolting, and using dlss makes it consume even less at around 100-110watts

[@ObsidianSoul1]

yeah my xfx 6950 xt after a couple of hours makes my room into a sauna and thats me sitting next to my window and the card is undervolted

Picked up a 3 month old 7900 XTX for 600 that is working very well. Also purchased a 4070 Ti Super for around 750$ and am wondering if I should keep the 4070 Ti Super or just rock the XTX.

[@Nebujin383]

In short, if you are competitive playing @1440p but also want the best experience in singleplayer/raytracing and decent upscaling... nothing beats the 4080 super.

[@Petch85]

14:40 Also the 7900 GRE looks to be the most fun if you like to do a little OC'ing. The memory clock should easely OC to the 7900 Memory clock, and the core will probably also give you 10-20%. And that is much better than any other card, as far as I can tell.

[@Trisstan20]

6800 XT for 410 $ looks like pretty good deal to me, you getting almost 7800 XT performance for 100 less

[@gamesturbator]

How well does AMD's version of Nvidia Broadcast work for noise cancellation? It is the one thing that's keeping me from switching to AMD because it works better than every program, tweak, mod, etc. I live next to Nellis Air Force Base and the jets can be deafening (a few have flown 100 ft above my roof!) and Broadcast does a fantastic job of blocking out the noise when I"m using a mic.

[@bfhandsomeface409]

If they cant get a decent GPU for $500 or under with a good uplift in performance, they can keep them!

[@bodasactra]

Tuned to 6750XT factory OC a $230 used 6700XT can beat a $450 4060Ti 16GB in raw raster in most games at 1080p/1440p high settings. A used 6700XT has been by far the best price to performance value for over a year in my opinion.

[@TheArmouryHD0]

Just snagged a 6750xt for 350 euros. The difference between this and the 6800, 7700, 4060 etc. Is 50-100 in ireland. Considering the local price-performance this is a good deal for me

Running RDR2 at 4k with tweaked settings and getting circa 70fps with arc a770 LE, in US it has got to be a no-brainer.

My 3090 is showing its age at 4k even with DLSS Quality, but then again, I have a huge backlog of 2015-2020 games so Ill probably keep it til RTX6080 xD (or maybe a used 5090 when 6090 releases).

[@RawFish2DChannel]

I was originally planing to buy RX 6650 XT but when I finally had money for it, it ran out of stock, and as for models that I could still buy, they were 40-50$ more expensive than RX 7600 So in the end I bought RX 7600, but still haven't installed it, because I'm saving money for new PSU (be quiet! 650W)

Depends on what card you have right now, if you don't want to wait then get the 7900GRE and you won't be disappointed even after next-gen drops.

Hey Daniel (or anyone else who feels like giving their 2 cents) I am currently on an i7 9700k and a 2080 Super. (3440x1440) Do you think it makes sense for me to upgrade to a 4070 Super? It would likely be around black Friday, along with some other upgrades.

[@MaymunLega]

If your rig is working just fine my suggestion would be to simply wait a bit, a bit of patience and see what the next gen brings price and performance and utility wise. Either u find something then that tickles your pickle or it brings down the prices of the 40 series so you can buy it for cheaper eazy peazy. But its Nvidia so the prices arent gonna be really good either way but im sure youre aware of that.

I got my 4070 super for 548 so roughly the price of the 4070 non super Im happy where Im at for now and when the 50 series comes out Im probably going to bring this back and put it towards the 5080 I was just gonna go all in with the 4080 super but im going to hold out till the 50 series launch worst case scenario the 5080 is not what I expect it to be and I get the 4080 then but even so with the 50 series launch Ill probably be able to get the 4080 for less so its win win for me to wait and I got a good price on my 4070 super

[@XMACHINAv2]

_The Division 2_ was released almost 5years ago. If I run it with Ultra settings my 6950XT will generate almost exactly 90fps -- which happens to be my personal performance target. But the game will be unstable because the 16GB of VRAM will be fully-utilized and there will be spillover into system memory. To remedy this, I have to run the game with 85% resolution-scaling; but even then reported VRAM utilization is over 15,700MB from the start of the session, and gradually higher as the game progresses. Assuming that I wanted to continue meeting my performance target, and that I wanted to follow the advice to buy an Nvidia GPU, I'd have to buy a 4090 and only a 4090; no other Nvidia model would do because of the paucity of VRAM in everything below the flagship. And again, this is a game released 5 years ago; imagine what's needed for more recent, graphically-intensive games. But Mr. Owen says that 16GB is enough, and I'm as mathematically-challenged as they come, so I guess 45fps it is. Nvidia deserves every penny they make from gaming GPU sales. Only a few years ago, gamers wanted the highest FPS they could get; Nvidia has successfully shifted the collective focus away from FPS to lighting-quality (even in games with cartoony graphics that don't look any more realistic no matter how they're lit).

[@Greenalex89]

The thing with the 4080 is, if u spend that much money on a GPU, u are most likely interested in keeping it for more than 1-2 generations for what it is: a 4k lvl priced 4k card. And the 16 gigs just wont cut it, especially if u want to play with RT. And I assume thats the reason why u went for nvidia instead of AMD. 24 gigs of VRAM are overkill now and 16 gigs are still ok-ish, only if u play without extra texture mods. And u cant do production while playing with only 16 GB. So, imo, the 7900xtx is the way better long term investment than the 4080 (4-5+ years).

[@havochowl6766]
