Nvidia's RTX 4070 has been an excellent GPU, but it has stiff new competition in the form of AMD's RX 7900 GRE.
AMD just released the best RDNA 3 graphics card we’ve seen yet in the form of the RX 7900 GRE. The GPU, originally released in China several months ago, sets its sights squarely on Nvidia’s RTX 4070 — and AMD comes out on top most of the time.
That’s a typical price, too. In the past, especially during a large sale, I’ve seen the RTX 4070 for as little as $500. The RTX 4070 and RX 7900 GRE carry the same list price, but the floor of pricing for the RTX 4070 is much lower. You have a lot more opportunities to score a deal. The RX 7900 GRE’s high power draw might have something to do with its more robust memory interface. The card comes with 16GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus. The RTX 4070 uses a smaller 192-bit bus, along with 12GB of GDDR6X memory.
There are titles where the GPUs are much closer, namely Horizon Zero Dawn, Cyberpunk 2077, and Resident Evil 4. Even in these games, the lead of the RX 7900 GRE isn’t insignificant, however. This is where the RTX 4070 really shines. The RX 7900 GRE stays competitive with the RTX 4070 in ray tracing, but Nvidia has a large lead in heavy ray tracing titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, and Portal RTX. In less demanding ray tracing games, such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Resident Evil 4, the GRE holds a lead.
