    How does this card fare in comparison to the RTX 4070 and 4070 super?

      • +3

        It has FSR on AMD graphics cards, DLSS is nvidia

        And the card has FSR

    • The video like explains the performance between 4070 and 7900 https://youtu.be/VilOdmEG87c?si=PNjjBIRPGo33BEk1

      Pros: More VRAM, slightly better raster performance.

      Cons: Significantly worse hardware ray tracing, upscaling and power efficiency. DLSS is vastly superior to FSR.

      Neither card is great for future-proofing.

      7900GRE lacks upscaling and ray tracing performance, so don't expect the hardware to age gracefully despite the 16GB VRAM.

      4070S has only 12GB VRAM, so don't expect that to last long on 1440p.

      Get the 7900GRE if you are banking on AMD greatly improving FSR and UE5's software raytracing.

      • I thought the recent release of FSR 3.1 was thought of very well? Improving image quality dramatically apparently. I haven't tested it myself yet.

        • +1

          Still noticeably worse than DLSS. Good thing is, there will be more viable upscaling options in the future

          • @ozdog64: I wondered how true your statement was, so I've watched some videos on YouTube. In some circumstances, FSR looks as good as the others, but when it gets to FSR weaknesses, oh my gosh, are they some terrible weaknesses.

            In one example the video had pigeons flying past in Spider-Man with FSR 3.1 and they have incredibly long trails that looked dreadful, XESS had short trails that you can ignore as blur, where DLSS had barely any noticeable trail. I guess if you don't have motion with strong contrasting colours in the game, FSR 3.1 can look just as good :p .

            • +1

              @FabMan: Yup! It still has a long way to go. Inevitably FSR will be fantastic, but the question is when. Price comparative Nvidia cards offer the superior gameplay experience in most cases despite the godawful VRAM. Really cannot win unless you fork out for a 4090, except then your wallet loses, and Jensen laughs all the way to the bank.

          • @ozdog64: DLSS gets worse when it runs out of Vram and the fps drops like a rock on nvidia cards. So it will look pretty in a unplayable frame rate . :D

        Honestly who cares about future proofing. If you really want to future proof just get a 4080 or 4080 super or 4090. Thinking about future proofing just makes you spend more for no reason. Just think about what games you want to play and build according to that. Unless you really want to play Elder Scrolls 6 in 4k 60fps in 2034.

        Thanks for the info! Not looking to future proof, helping a friend build his first PC. I think the 4070s is a bit overkill, but the 4070 is priced so terribly. Was thinking this deal would be a good middle ground.

      • more vram also future proofs you for games in the future 12gb of vram is a joke for the price of the 4070 they are designed to be good for the games today and ferriable for games in the future. People have tested next gen games that demand more VRam and the 4070 struggled because it ran out of vram, which means lower fps.

    Overclocked for both is fair comparison. Trading blows. Very close.

    Either way it will play 1440p games very nicely.

    • Yep if u like maxing out setting at 1440p with RT and FSR its great

  • Whats a 6600xt equivalent these days. I remember paying over $700 at release

    • a 7600Xt or 7700xt

  • +1

    Now I feel better about the 800$ used 7900XT I bought a new days ago.

  • how is amd's encoder doing nowadays? is it still behind nvidia/intel? i remember they struggle at low bitrates (<5Kbps) ?

  • Anyone know if they've fixed the unusually high idle wattage with dual-screen setups? Have read about people getting 80w + readings.

    • I bought this when it was at $789. Arrives next week.

      • Thinking of buying this one, how is it so far?

        • The mag air fans are just a gimmick, I don't see the point of it.
          The card is MASSIVE.
          It comes with a little stand which is cute, it prevents sag. It's white, it's nice.
          It also comes free with coil whine at some high settings. When I go ULTRA or HIGH on The Division 2, I get the noise. It's faint, but it's noticeable when the house is quiet. But when there is ambient noise, can't hear it really.
          Apart from that slight coil whine, everything else is happy happy days.

            @lordra: Free coil whine, lol. Thanks for the info!

  • I game in 1440p on a 3070, trying to work out what, and when, my next upgrade will be.
    Most of my current games run well on relatively high settings, except for Suicide Squad which for the life of me I cannot work out why it's the only game that falls to pieces on any moderately busy action scene.

    • +3

      Suicide squad is so poorly optimised that even my bros 4090 was getting mega frame drops during certain scenes.
