RTX 4070 Ti SUPER vs RX 7900 XT

Two upper-mid-range cards of the last generation that trade blows in a familiar way. They are level in rasterisation, NVIDIA's has far better ray tracing and DLSS, and AMD's carries 4 GB more memory. Both are discontinued, so condition and price decide more than the specification.

The verdict

57Score
$1,41116 GB285 WIndex 60 at 1440p

A 16 GB Ada card that sits between the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti in raw speed. Worth considering only where remaining stock is priced below the newer alternatives.

Our pickAMD

RX 7900 XT

69Score
$899MSRP20 GB315 WIndex 60 at 1440p

A 20 GB high-end card from the previous Radeon generation. Rasterisation is competitive with current upper-mid-range cards, but it is behind on ray tracing and does not support FSR 4.

RX 7900 XT comes out ahead of RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.

  • RX 7900 XT has 20 GB of VRAM against 16 GB.

The score blends performance at 1440p (50%), performance per dollar (30%) and memory headroom (20%), each against every card CompareYourGPU tracks. Fewer than three points apart counts as level. How verdicts are calculated.

RX 7900 XT

$899MSRP

Launch MSRP in US dollars, as set by the manufacturer at release. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today. The Amazon store the link opens depends on your location and charges in its own currency (US dollars, euros or pounds): expect a different figure there, and treat that page as the authority on what the card actually costs.

This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.

The shape of the trade-off

All six axes are normalised to a 0-100 scale so they can share one chart. Performance and ray tracing are CompareYourGPU’s estimated indices; value, VRAM, efficiency and features are each card’s standing relative to every other card tracked here.

Performance, memory and value

Estimated performance index at 1440p. 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.

CompareYourGPU estimate aggregated from public review coverage, not a measurement.

Estimated frame rate at 1440p in a typical modern AAA game at High settings, no upscaling.

Modelled from the performance index. Not a measured benchmark. Real results vary widely by title.

VRAM capacity.

Capacity alone is not the whole story: memory bus width and bandwidth decide how much of it the GPU can actually use.

Price, verified where available.

A card with a verified current price is shown at that price, a dated snapshot; a card without one is shown at launch MSRP. Street prices move, so check the retailer.

Which one should you buy?

The short version: the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is faster, but the RX 7900 XT offers better value at the prices on record. Which of those matters more is the decision.

Based on the specifications, estimated performance indices and prices on record for these cards. How verdicts are calculated.

Maximum performance

RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

Highest estimated performance index at 1440p of the cards compared here, at 60. It is the right answer if frame rate is the only thing you are optimising for.

Best value

RX 7900 XT

Delivers the most performance per dollar of the cards compared, at $899. Choose this if the difference in price matters more to you than the difference in frame rate.

Ray tracing

RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

Strongest ray-traced performance here, with an estimated ray tracing index of 57 at 1440p. It also carries DLSS 4 Super Resolution, which is how ray tracing becomes practical.

Memory headroom

RX 7900 XT

Carries 20 GB, the most headroom of the cards compared at 1440p. Memory is usually what dates a card before raw speed does.

Small or quiet builds

RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

Best performance per watt of the cards compared, drawing 285 W. That means less heat, quieter fans and less pressure on your power supply.

Best overall

RX 7900 XT

Best balance of speed, price and memory of the cards compared: 50% performance at 1440p, 30% performance per dollar, 20% memory headroom. Not necessarily the fastest.

RTX 4070 Ti SUPER vs RX 7900 XT: common questions

Which is faster, the RTX 4070 Ti Super or the RX 7900 XT?
They are level in rasterisation. CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index is 60 for both. The RTX 4070 Ti Super pulls clearly ahead in ray tracing, with an estimated index of 57 against 41.
Does the RX 7900 XT's extra memory matter?
It gives more headroom. The RX 7900 XT has 20 GB on a 320-bit bus against the RTX 4070 Ti Super's 16 GB on a 256-bit bus. At 16 GB the NVIDIA card is comfortable for 1440p and most 4K play, so the extra 4 GB matters mainly if you intend to keep the card a long time.
Which costs less to run?
The RTX 4070 Ti Super, at 285 W against 315 W, and it launched $100 cheaper ($799 against $899). The AMD card uses two 8-pin connectors, while the NVIDIA card uses a single 16-pin.
