RX 7900 GRE vs RTX 4070 Super

The RX 7900 GRE is about 3% faster at 1440p. Whether that is worth it depends on the rest of your build.

The gap changes with resolution.

Graphics card differences grow with resolution, because higher resolutions load the GPU harder.

Straight answers on the RX 7900 GRE versus the RTX 4070 Super.

• Is the RX 7900 GRE better than the RTX 4070 Super?

  +

  Yes, but by less than the spec sheet suggests. At 1440p the RX 7900 GRE scores 96 against 93 for the RTX 4070 Super — roughly 3% faster.

• Does the RX 7900 GRE or RTX 4070 Super bottleneck a Ryzen 5 9600X?

  +

  Paired with a Ryzen 5 9600X at 1440p, the RX 7900 GRE build comes out balanced, and the RTX 4070 Super build comes out balanced. Being GPU-bound is the healthy outcome — it means the graphics card is the part working hardest.

• Is it worth upgrading from the RTX 4070 Super to the RX 7900 GRE?

  +

  Only if you are also lifting the rest of the build. The RX 7900 GRE is about 3% ahead at 1440p, and gaps like that shrink further at 4K where the GPU does more of the work. If you are upgrading from the RTX 4070 Super purely for frames, check the pairing first.

• Which is better value, the RX 7900 GRE or the RTX 4070 Super?

  +

  On performance per dollar at MSRP, the RX 7900 GRE wins. The RX 7900 GRE lists at $549 for an index of 96, and the RTX 4070 Super at $599 for 93.
