Only in bang for buck, but 4070s is automatically better cuz of rt/dlss3

They know the Pro is coming to destroy them all.

4070 super meh at raytracing and is $200 more expensive

6900xt wishes it was meh at rt

So don't use it lol, I'd rather use higher texture quality with 16gb vram

if I wanted to make those kinds of compromises, I'd just stick with the PS5. The point of PC is to have it all and 4070s simply does that better than 6900xt, rt + dlss will give u a way better gaming experience than the 6900xt

Not really considering the compromise you make is framerate to turn on RT. Or you have to run at 1080p, another compromise. The only card that doesn't have to compromise right now is the 4090 and you still can't run RT native with a good framerate on the games where RT makes a big difference.

Anyway the 6900XT is a solid midrange card at $380. If it was $500+ then of course it wouldn't fly.

with the 6900xt you have to compromise on rt almost entirely, that's not the case with the 4070s.

And yeah its good bang for buck, but I still wouldn't recommend it

Better than a 4070?

Stay away from AMD and pay the extra for Nvidia. Plus the 5000 series out soon.

Have you used an AMD card recently?

No! Moved from them a while back. I just think you pay for what you get - and with Nvidia you're getting superior hardware and software.

Not 60% superior. AMD is around 20-25% behind. I wouldn't touch an AMD card from before rdna2 but they actually made a decent gen.

You get what you pay for.

Nvidia 4070s is more expensive for a reason.

DLSS, better RT and uses less power.

Nvidia is more expensive because people keep buying it despite having worse performance, planned obsolescence through lack of vram, and higher prices.

Feel free to buy a 4070 and end up having to replace it in a couple years.

That’s not true is it?

 

[anonpuffs]

For this particular card it is, it's faster than the stock 6900xt by about 5-10% which makes it faster than the 4070s

You didn’t say that though?

You clearly said Nvidia in general have worse performance which is nonsense.

Nvidia is superior to AMD in GPUs. It is just a fact. Reason why they charge extra and people still buy them.

Well yes, it's about this particular card because this is the thread topic?
Nowhere did I mention that AMD is better than the 4090.
