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

Performance: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs Radeon RX 6800 XT

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is noticeably faster, around 16% ahead of the Radeon RX 6800 XT. 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 XT is better matched to 1440p.

Price & Value

The Radeon RX 6800 XT currently lists from $600 EUR, $49 EUR less than the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER at $649 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 7%. The Radeon RX 6800 XT is trading below its $649 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

At 220W against 300W, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Ada Lovelace architecture on a TSMC N4 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The Radeon RX 6800 XT carries 16GB versus 12GB on the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. The extra 4GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is roughly 4 years newer than the Radeon RX 6800 XT (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 XT 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 XT?

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 XT if you find it at a steep discount.
