Launch MSRPs, release cycles and deals windows as of November 9, 2026.
This is a cross-brand comparison between the AMD RX 7800 XT (RX 7000, High-end, superseded by the AMD RX 9070) and the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super (RTX 4000, High-end, superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti), released 4 months apart. Against the RTX 4070 Ti Super, the RX 7800 XT costs $300 less at launch MSRP ($499 vs $799, 38% cheaper), matches its 16 GB of VRAM and draws 22W less at rated TDP (263W vs 285W).
This GPU is no longer the current generation. It has been replaced by the AMD RX 9070.
Superseded by RX 9070
Best for: 1440p gamers who can find a used unit near or below the $499 MSRP — at current above-MSRP new prices, the RX 9070 is the better buy.

New prices (~$1,000) are well above MSRP due to the memory shortage — used units around $500 are the only remaining value path.
Same VRAM as its successor — no VRAM compromise.
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 7800 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 It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9070, which launched Mar 6, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.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 It has been superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, which launched Feb 20, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is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Both cards are superseded.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 7800 XT is $300 cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti Super ($499 vs $799, 38% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $31.2 for the RX 7800 XT and $49.9 for the RTX 4070 Ti Super — the RX 7800 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 Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.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 7800 XT (deals window to Dec 5, 2026, rated Caution): Black Friday 2026 — analysts do not expect memory supply to normalise before late 2027, so real clearance pricing is unlikely. Only buy if a deal lands below the $499 MSRP.
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: AMD RX 7800 XT
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.
With editor scores and timing level, the cheaper card gets the nod: our pick is the RX 7800 XT at $499 vs $799 launch MSRP, and it also draws 22W less at rated TDP (263W vs 285W) and carries a higher editor score (8.5 vs 8.3).
Go for the RTX 4070 Ti Super instead if you want newer GDDR6X memory rather than GDDR6, or if you want the newer card: it launched 4 months later.
