NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti vs RX 7900 XT vs RX 7900 XTX vs RTX 3080

Nvidia and AMD have revealed thier newest graphic cards (GPUs) in the mid to high-range price point. Even the RTX 4080 (12GB) was also recently relaunched as the RTX 4070 Ti. The GPU is priced at $799, slightly undercutting AMD’s RX 7900 XT series. So let’s take a closer look and compare the RTX 4070 Ti vs RX 7900 XT series and RTX 3080.

The following graphic cards fall in a similar mid to high-range price point and will be competing with each other directly. According to Nvidia, RTX 4070 Ti is faster than RTX 3090 Ti. Such claims are often exaggerated and based on specific parameters.

We have compared some of the specs of the RTX 4070 Ti with RTX 3080, RX 7900 XT, and RX 7900 XTX. However, specs alone can’t tell if the graphic card is worth its price or not. So make sure to read our objective comparison of the GPU’s performance per price ratio down below.

Should You Buy The RTX 4070 Ti?

RTX 4090 VS RTX 4080 VS RX 7900 XTX VS RX 7900 XT

Although Nvidia has reduced the price of the relaunched RTX 4070 Ti by $100, it is still quite expensive compared to its predecessors. For instance, the RTX 3070 Ti launched at a starting price of $599. Now that’s a $200 price increase for the RTX 4070 Ti.

Unfortunately, the RTX 4070 Ti will also launch without a Founder’s Edition GPU. So the only way to get a 4070 Ti would be through Nvidia’s partners, which might drive the price point further than $799. It would also be next to impossible to find a $799 RTX 4070 Ti in online stores.

The market is filled with overclocked versions from various card makers, and no Founders Edition to put the pressure on pricing. At the time of writing, the cheapest option is the $839 RTX 4070 Ti version from MSI. The better choice here would be to go for an RX 7900 XT instead of the RTX 4070 Ti.

Gamers can easily get more out of the RX 7900 XT with a better price-to-performance ratio. The only downside would be no DLSS 3.0 and a slight decline in ray-tracing performance. Let us know which GPU you are looking to buy in the comment section below.
