RTX 4070 SUPER vs RX 7800 XT vs RTX 4070 Ti Comparison

RTX 4070 SUPER is the first SUPER graphics card launched by Nvidia in the GeForce RTX 40 series. The SUPER cards from Nvidia add a performance boost to the original models and that too without increasing the price. RTX 4070 SUPER makes its place above the RTX 4070 and sits below the RTX 4070 Ti in the RTX 40 series lineup. RTX 4070 SUPER is around 12% faster than the original RTX 4070 which is quite a decent gain in performance because both cards have the same price tag. The main competitors of the RTX 4070 SUPER are the Radeon RX 7800 XT from AMD and the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti from Nvidia itself.

RTX 4070 SUPER vs RX 7800 XT vs RTX 4070 Ti Comparison

Below is a comparison between RTX 4070 SUPER, RX 7800 XT, and RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards based on their specifications, gaming performance, pricing, power consumption, and features.

GPU Architecture

RTX 4070 SUPER and RTX 4070 Ti are built on the latest Ada Lovelace architecture on a smaller 5nm fabrication process. Both these cards use AD104 GPU chip but in different configurations. The RTX 4070 Ti uses a fully unlocked AD104 chip but the RTX 4070 SUPER uses a slight cut-down version of the AD104 chip and has slightly lesser cores. RTX 4070 SUPER comes with 7168 CUDA Cores, 56 RT Cores (3rd Generation), and 224 Tensor Cores (4th Generation). On the other hand, RTX 4070 Ti comes with 7680 CUDA Cores, 60 RT Cores (3rd Generation), and 240 Tensor Cores (4th Generation).

Radeon RX 7800 XT is built on the RDNA 3 GPU architecture with Navi 32 XT GPU Chip. The GPU has a Chiplet design consisting of a Graphics Compute Die (GCD) and Memory Cache Die (MCD). Here the GCD uses a 5nm fabrication process whereas MCD is built on a 6nm manufacturing process. The card uses a Navi 32 XT GPU chip and comes with 3840 Stream Processors, 60 Ray Accelerators, and 120 AI Accelerators.
