Notes on 6 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Base clock: AMD publishes only Game (2171 MHz) and Boost clocks; no base clock appears on AMD's page.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Memory bandwidth: AMD also lists 1995 GB/s 'effective' bandwidth including Infinity Cache; 432 GB/s is the raw VRAM figure.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Recommended PSU: AMD bases this rating on a Ryzen 9 7950X system; your needs may differ.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super, Power connectors: Nvidia's 16-pin header is the 12V-2x6 variant; an adapter cable for non-ATX 3.0 power supplies ships with the card.
  5. 5AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Power connectors: Reference card uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
  6. 6AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck specifies the DP 2.1 output at UHBR13.5 link rate.

Pricing and Value

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT wins on upfront cost with a launch price of $449, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super costs $599. That significant savings leaves room in a full system budget for other upgrades.

Buyers focused on raw performance per dollar will find the AMD card more approachable, provided the higher power demands do not require system changes.

Performance and Architecture

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super builds on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 7,168 shader cores, delivering 35.5 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT counters with an RDNA 3 design featuring 3,456 cores and a higher boost clock of 2,544 MHz.

In practical use, the higher core count gives the NVIDIA card an advantage in heavy compute tasks, while both rely on GDDR6X and GDDR6 memory types respectively across a 192-bit bus.

Power and System Requirements

Efficiency favors the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super with a board power of 220 W and a recommended PSU of 600 W. It uses a modern 12V-2x6 power connector.

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT draws more power at 245 W and requires a beefier 700 W power supply using traditional 8-pin connectors, meaning some users might need a PSU upgrade.
