RTX 4070 Super vs RX 7800 XT

Two previous-generation favorites for 1440p gaming that are still on sale. The RTX 4070 Super has 12 GB of GDDR6X; the RX 7800 XT has 16 GB of GDDR6 with a 256-bit bus.

RTX 4070 Super

Pick it if…

You care about ray tracing, DLSS 3, lower power draw (220 W) and performance in creative software.

RX 7800 XT

Pick it if…

You want more VRAM for the future and solid rasterization performance, usually at a lower price.

Note. MSRP is the recommended launch price, not the current price. There are no GPU benchmarks on the site yet: the table compares specifications.

Warning. CUDA cores (NVIDIA) and stream processors (AMD) can't be compared across brands: they are different architectures. That's why those rows aren't highlighted.

Comparison breakdown

Gaming

In rasterization at 1440p they're close; with ray tracing the 4070 Super pulls ahead, and DLSS 3 adds Frame Generation. The 7800 XT, on the other hand, has 16 GB, giving more headroom for high textures in the coming years.

Content creation

In Blender (Blender Open Data results) the 4070 Super performs more than twice as fast as the 7800 XT. For editing, 3D or local AI, the NVIDIA card is the stronger option.

Power

220 W for the 4070 Super and 263 W for the 7800 XT. A good 650-750 W power supply is enough for either. Keep in mind that in the current generation the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 occupy this same range.
