The price of the Radeon RX 7900 XT has dropped by $100, putting it in the lower end of the range. $799.99. This translates into a more competitive position against its direct rival, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, although we must bear in mind that this is not a permanent drop, but more like a temporary reduction, a special offer.
Normally these types of offers only occur in the United States, but I have good news, and that is that In Spain the Radeon RX 7900 XT has also dropped in pricespecifically the Sapphire Pulse model, which is available for 979.89 euros (previously it cost 1,079.01 euros).
If we compare it with the cheapest GeForce RTX 4070 Ti that we can find right now on the market, we see that there is an approximate difference of 20 euros, since the cheapest model is an MSI Ventus that costs 999 euros. Given that both are in the same league if we talk about prices, which is the better option? Let’s find out.
Radeon RX 7900 XT vs. GeForce RTX 4070 Ti
In terms of raw power, that is, in games under rasterization, AMD’s graphics is up to 10% more powerful than NVIDIA’s in 4K resolution, and 8% in 1440p. It also plays to the advantage of having 20 GB of graphics memory, while the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti only has 12 GB.
However, NVIDIA option performs better with ray tracing (up to 9% more in 1440p and 7% more in 4K), supports DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 with frame generation, and has better support and better performance in some of the most popular professional applications on the market, such as Blender, to give a well-known example.
Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, and this means that each user must assess their objectives and priorities when choosing. With everything, I personally have it very clear, making an overall assessment of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti offers more interesting value for its higher performance in ray tracing and for the difference that DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 make.
I already explained them at the time when I analyzed the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, and I leave you the link that will take you directly to said article in case you want to delve into this topic and better value the performance it is capable of offering. I give you a simple but forceful example, In Cyberpunk 2077, with 4K resolution and insane ray tracing, get 71 FPS with DLSS 3 in balanced modewhile the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, which is more powerful than the Radeon RX 7900 XT, falls into 50 FPS with the same settings and FSR 2 in performance mode (worse image quality).
