GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs Radeon RX 6800: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs Radeon RX 6800

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is significantly faster, around 39% ahead of the Radeon RX 6800. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the Radeon RX 6800 is better matched to 1440p.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER starts at $649 EUR against $1,186 EUR for the Radeon RX 6800. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 154%. The Radeon RX 6800 still sits about $607 EUR above its $579 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER draws just 220W versus 250W for the Radeon RX 6800, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Ada Lovelace architecture on a TSMC N4 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 16GB against 12GB, the Radeon RX 6800 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER's 12GB can fall short.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is roughly 4 years newer than the Radeon RX 6800 (Ada Lovelace vs RDNA 2), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 6800 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER or Radeon RX 6800?

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon RX 6800 if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER better than the Radeon RX 6800?

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is significantly faster, roughly 39% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER or the Radeon RX 6800?

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the better 4K option — it's comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p.

Is the Radeon RX 6800 worth the extra $537 EUR over the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER comes out ahead.

Does the Radeon RX 6800 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 16GB (vs 12GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
