The GeForce RTX 4070 has become one of the best graphics cards of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace generation in terms of price / performance, especially after the recent price adjustments that made it possible to buy it. from 620 euros in their simplest versions, although we can also find overclocked models for very little extra, such as the Windforce OC variant from GIGABYTE, which costs 623.95 euros.

The fact is that with the launch of the Radeon RX 7800 XT, the market has changed. Graphics card builders are aware of this and have started to better price their GeForce RTX 4070. I can confirm that in the US their MSRP dropped from $599.99 to $549.99a change that affected both models that work at reference speeds and others that are overclocked from home.

In Spain, the price of the GeForce RTX 4070 remained in a very competitive position compared to the Radeon RX 7800 XT, since, depending on the retailer we look for it, it has a starting price of 590 euros, which means that the difference between the two is only 30 euros. I don’t think we will see another price drop in the short term, but that will ultimately depend on how the sales of these two graphics cards develop.

GeForce RTX 4070 or Radeon RX 7800 XT, which is better?

It’s a tough decision, especially considering the small price difference that exists between the two. All in all, considering the benefits each one has, the performance and technology they offer, right now I’d stick with the GeForce RTX 4070.

next I’ll leave you with a summary of the strengths of each graphics card to better understand my decision and also to make up your own mind.

Things in favor of the GeForce RTX 4070

• A more advanced, hardware-accelerated generation of frames.
• Ray reconstruction using AI (DLSS 3.5), which will premiere this September.
• DLSS Super Resolution is still better than Fidelity Super Resolution (FSR).
• Lower consumption and lower temperatures.
• Higher ray tracing performance.

Things in favor of the Radeon RX 7800 XT
