GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs Radeon RX 7800 XT: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs Radeon RX 7800 XT

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is marginally faster, around 7% ahead of the Radeon RX 7800 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 7800 XT is better matched to 1440p.

Price & Value

Right now the Radeon RX 7800 XT starts at $552 GBP against $719 GBP for the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 7800 XT offers the better performance-per-dollar (~21% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER still sits about $120 GBP above its $599 GBP MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER draws just 220W versus 263W for the Radeon RX 7800 XT, and it also delivers more performance per watt β€” 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 7800 XT has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER's 12GB can fall short.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 7800 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 7800 XT?

Choose the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Radeon RX 7800 XT stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER better than the Radeon RX 7800 XT?
