GeForce RTX 4070 Super vs. Radeon RX 7900 GRE: Rasterization, Ray Tracing, and Upscaling Performance

"as notable examples, show minimal visual difference with ray tracing enabled, primarily affecting the frame rate. This trend is common across most ray tracing-supported games, with few exceptions demonstrating a substantial improvement."

Finally a better portrayal of the real world! The only two games that RT makes a relevant difference only run properly and without gimmicks on the 4090. Mid-end GPUs shouldn't even support RT, a waste of die space.

Buy the cheapest one!

With a 10% cheaper price,
unless you feel like you're going to use a lot of ray tracing in the game you're going to play, I think the 7900GRE is the right choice..

Good article, and I’m glad to see some Helldivers 2 benchmarks! Any chance we will see a deep dive on this title?

This is the first game I’ve bought that actually uses all the cores on my 12700K, so I’d love to see how much impact both the CPU and GPU have on this title.
 
So it's kind of the ongoing, recurring theme. AMD offers more Vram in general, but struggles with ray-tracing. Somewhat similar compute performance. Efficiency wise, AMD has mostly been more power hungry, it seems.

Maybe this is a thing of the past, but Nvidia cards are just more completely fleshed out, out of the box as their drivers seem more stable. I've always been open minded about both brands, but find myself going the Nvidia route exclusively thus far.

Anything that at maximum quality delivers an average of 45fps in the games that interest me today, should last me about 4 years before falling below 30fps in the ones that will interest me at that moment, and 6 years if I lower the quality in some aspects.
It is the rule that I have created with experience.
and today DLSS/FSR/XeSS help that rule much more
unless the technology is changed in a more radical way, as it was to move to DirectX11
 
I don't know how much faster third party 4070 Supers' get, but the 7900GRE is now able to show significant performance increases and you can easily get another 15%+ over the gimped standard card. Taking that into account pushes favour to AMD for sure IMO.
