No longer stocked new by major retailers as of October 2026 — used units around $370–$450, at or below the $449 MSRP, are the only sensible way to buy one.
Comfortable VRAM for 1440p gaming.
Well-optimized after 18+ months of updates.
New units sell from around $1,080 and used units run around $750–$850 as of October 2026 — at or above the $799 MSRP. Only worth it if a used unit turns up well below MSRP.
Same VRAM capacity as the RTX 5070 Ti — no VRAM compromise versus the successor.
Over 2 years of driver maturity ensures excellent stability across all titles.
Released Sep 6, 2023, the RX 7700 XT has been on the market for 3 years 2 months. It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9070, which launched Mar 6, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
Released Jan 24, 2024, the RTX 4070 Ti Super has been on the market for 2 years 9 months. It has been superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, which launched Feb 20, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
Both cards are superseded. If you're buying new, their replacements — the AMD RX 9070 and NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti — are where current pricing and timing advice apply.
At launch MSRP the RX 7700 XT is $350 cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti Super ($449 vs $799, 44% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $37.4 for the RX 7700 XT and $49.9 for the RTX 4070 Ti Super — the RX 7700 XT gives more memory for the money. Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.
RX 7700 XT (deals window to Dec 5, 2026, rated Caution): Black Friday 2026 — new stock has dried up, so retail clearance deals are unlikely. Watch the used market for units under $350.
RTX 4070 Ti Super (deals window to Jun 30, 2027, rated Wait): No clearance — new retail prices start around $1,080, at least 35% above the $799 MSRP, due to scarcity. Avoid new purchases. Used units have risen to around $750–$850 as of October 2026; only consider one below $600.
Our pick: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super
Both of these cards are superseded, so if you're buying new, compare the AMD RX 9070 and NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti instead. The rest of this verdict applies to clearance or used units.
Our pick is the RTX 4070 Ti Super: it carries the higher editor score (8.3 vs 7.8), and it also has 4 GB more VRAM (16 GB vs 12 GB).
Go for the RX 7700 XT instead if you want lower power draw: 245W vs 285W rated TDP, or if you prefer AMD's FSR3 upscaling to NVIDIA's DLSS3.
