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.

    7800xt for $469? That’ll be nice. Paid £560 here for my sapphire nitro in UK 💀

    But I did manage to sell my 6600xt oc for almost £200.

    If the 7800 XT is already selling well as expected, I don’t see why AMD should feel pressured by the price drop.

    It is good to see 2 decent cards being extremely competitive atm, unlike the 6700 XT which literally wiped the floor at $320/330 against the likes of RTX 3060/Ti and even 3070.
