Notes on 3 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA 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.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, HDMI version: AMD's spec page lists HDMI 2.1; its own press release and Notebookcheck state HDMI 2.1a.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck lists the DisplayPort 2.1 link rate as UHBR13.5; AMD notes DP 2.1 support depends on AIB designs.

Price and Value

The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT undercuts the competition with a launch price of $499 compared to $599 for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super. That lower entry cost makes the AMD card much easier to fit into a strict mid-range system budget.

Buyers choosing the NVIDIA option pay an extra $100 for architectural efficiency. Whether that premium is worth it depends entirely on how much you value lower power draws during long gaming sessions.

Memory and Compute

The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT packs 16 GB of video memory across a 256-bit bus, offering a wider pipeline than the 12 GB found on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super. A larger frame buffer helps handle heavy texture assets at high resolutions without stuttering.

On the other side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super pulls ahead in raw shader count with 7,168 cores and faster GDDR6X memory speed at 21 Gbps. This combination delivers higher boost clocks that drive faster processing speeds in demanding titles.

Power and Efficiency

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super requires a board power of only 220 W and a 600 W recommended PSU, beating its rival's power demands. It also adopts a modern 12V-2x6 power connector.

By comparison, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT demands a heftier 263 W board power and a 700 W recommended PSU while relying on dual 8-pin connectors. Systems built around the AMD card will need a slightly more robust power supply and better case ventilation.
