Launch MSRPs, release cycles and deals windows as of November 9, 2026.
This is a cross-brand comparison between the AMD RX 7900 XT (RX 7000, Enthusiast, superseded by the AMD RX 9070 XT) and the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super (RTX 4000, High-end, superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti), released 13 months apart. Against the RX 7900 XT, the RTX 4070 Ti Super costs $100 less at launch MSRP ($799 vs $899, 11% cheaper), has 4 GB less VRAM (16 GB vs 20 GB) and draws 30W less at rated TDP (285W vs 315W).
This GPU is no longer the current generation. It has been replaced by the AMD RX 9070 XT.
Superseded by RX 9070 XT
Best for: Gamers and creators who want the unique 20GB VRAM tier — best value when street prices return below $899 MSRP.

More VRAM than any RTX 5000 card except the 5090 (32GB), and 4GB more than the 7800 XT. A rare middle ground.
Adrenalin 26.6.2 (June 2026) brought official FSR 4.1 ML upscaling to RDNA 3 in 300+ games — a clear image-quality step up from FSR 3.1.
Over 3 years of driver optimization for rock-solid stability, with Adrenalin 26.6.4 fixing early FSR 4.1 issues on RDNA 3.
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 Dec 13, 2022, the RX 7900 XT has been on the market for 3 years 10 months. It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9070 XT, which launched Mar 6, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is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 It has been superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, which launched Feb 20, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is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Both cards are superseded.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 XT and NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti — are where current pricing and timing advice apply.
At launch MSRP the RTX 4070 Ti Super is $100 cheaper than the RX 7900 XT ($799 vs $899, 11% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $45.0 for the RX 7900 XT and $49.9 for the RTX 4070 Ti Super — the RX 7900 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 Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.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 7900 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 $899 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: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super
Both of these cards are superseded, so if you're buying new, compare the AMD RX 9070 XT 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 RTX 4070 Ti Super at $799 vs $899 launch MSRP, and it also draws 30W less at rated TDP (285W vs 315W).
Go for the RX 7900 XT instead if you want more VRAM: 20 GB vs 16 GB, or if you want the most VRAM per dollar: $45.0 vs $49.9 per GB at launch MSRP.
