Why buy each?

AMD RX 7900 XT

20GB GDDR6 — unique VRAM tier

More VRAM than any RTX 5000 card except the 5090 (32GB), and 4GB more than the 7800 XT. A rare middle ground.

Generation-end clearance

Superseded but strong value — clearance pricing makes this competitive with the RX 9070 XT at launch MSRP.

Mature RDNA 3 drivers

Over 2 years of driver optimization for rock-solid stability.

NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super

Used market only

New units sell above MSRP. Used units are the only viable path to value for this card.

16GB GDDR6X

Same VRAM capacity as the RTX 5070 Ti — no VRAM compromise versus the successor.

Proven performance

Over 2 years of driver maturity ensures excellent stability across all titles.
