RX 7900 XT vs RX 9070 XT: The Ultimate Comparison!!!

[-]

Firefox72@reddit

There's realisticaly no reason to ever consider the XT if you can find the 9070XT at the same price.

Its at worst on part raster wise but most often faster. Its faster in RT and it has much much better upscaling.

I just got a Power Color 7900 XT at Microcenter for $699. I would have liked to have waited, but I just built a new system and I wanted a better card than my current 3060 Ti. The 7900 XT so far is great, I game at 1440P.

I got my xfx 7900xt about 2 weeks ago for the same price, and I just went to the microcenter in Texas. There are more than 8 5070s, 4 5080s, and at least 10 9070XTs 😫. I’m happy with my 7900xt tho

Nvidia prices are stooopid. I can’t decide if the XTX’s are worth the price, I might have gotten one had it been available.

National_Smell6579@reddit

My friend got a txt near release date for only about 800-900 i believe, and she said that for the price when she got it, it was worth the money but she would not recommend buying it now that its $1300 haha

[-]

Serpidon@reddit

Insanity!

[-]

ThePageinator@reddit

Same, picked one up from there today for $599 and I'm upgrading from of MSI 1660 super. 9070xt is too new for me and good luck getting one at a good price as well.

[-]

Serpidon@reddit

The difference is incredible! The 7900 XT is 2x as fast as my 3060 Ti, you will be amazed!

[-]

edged_cheese@reddit

how much is significant

[-]

ShadyGuyOnTheNet@reddit

Some retailers in the UK have started offloading 7900 XT for ~£475 which is wild (9070 XT MSRP is £569, but you can’t buy them for under £650)

[-]

Positive-Agent1577@reddit

Where?!

[-]

ShadyGuyOnTheNet@reddit

CCL had them at that price, probably gone now

[-]

Vb_33@reddit

7900xt has more VRAM. That's it.

[-]

mr_tolkien@reddit

The 7900XT is cheaper than the 9070XT here in Japan.

But no FSR4 is a bit of a deal-breaker.

[-]

myfakesecretaccount@reddit

FWIW I have this card and have never needed any kind of FSR support to play games at essentially Ultra/1440p. Jedi Survivor ran at just over 100fps with all settings maxed and RT off with decent temps and zero fan noise. RT (which doesn’t even look great on this game, and likely had shit implementation) only dropped my frames to ~80fps when turned on and without FSR.

Jeep-Eep@reddit

And this is just with the first spin of drivers, that gap will worsen as the software matures.

[-]

anor_wondo@reddit

in VR 9080xt is beyond terrible

[-]

advester@reddit

And 7900xt isn't?

[-]

Visible_Witness_884@reddit

No issues for me in VR.

[-]

Disguised-Alien-AI@reddit

lol, no. It works amazingly well. It’s a VR power house. That’s on index and q3.

[-]

ProperAspectRatio@reddit

Is that a driver issue or something else going on?

[-]

Not_Yet_Italian_1990@reddit

It's almost certainly a driver issue.

[-]

TFL2022@reddit

Care to elaborate?

[-]

ysisverynice@reddit

probably vram

[-]

just_change_it@reddit

I don't think it's a deal. I think it's an inflated price that hasn't quite come down to reality yet.

[-]

Antonis_32@reddit (OP)

TLDR: At the same price, he would choose the RX 9070 XT. Similar performance, better ray tracing and upscaling

[-]

ParthProLegend@reddit

Just Similar performance? With rt, it's a huge fps difference, and with FSR 4 a huge quality difference. And better AI.

[-]

Visible_Witness_884@reddit

Yes - but is it in any way worth taking the hit on selling your already fine 7900 XT to get 10% better performance and better RT in a few titles? Seems not worth it.

[-]

ParthProLegend@reddit

It's simple, if you need Upscaling or RT or AI, go for 9070xt otherwise 7900xt. (Also new products have better support)

[-]

Visible_Witness_884@reddit

I'm on a 4k monitor, I use upscaling in a few games. I have a 7900 XT. I don't see a world where it makes sense selling the 7900 XT to replace it with the 9700 XT.

[-]

ParthProLegend@reddit

I meant it for a person who is deciding between 7900xt and 9700xt. Sorry mate.

[-]

Q__________________O@reddit

But i already have a 7900 xt

[-]

wizfactor@reddit

For the longest time, we had a DLSS Tax. Now there is also a FSR 4 Tax, which, like the DLSS Tax, is arguably worth paying extra for.

[-]

Cloud_Same@reddit

I currently have both and both a 7900xt and 9070xt went with fresh driver install and I see more consistent frames on the 7900xt. The 9070xt also has driver crashed on me quite a bit.

[-]

IS3002JZGTE@reddit

building a pc at microcenter for my son. 7800x3d bundle and they have the 7900xt for 599.99 and the 9070xt for 599.99. which one should i buy?

[-]

Cloud_Same@reddit

If there the same price but the 9070xt. If they are the same price. It's rocky now but after some time drivers will mature and the fps will increase.

[-]

robytm25@reddit

Of sins or not...I got my 7900Xt nitro+ sapphire in January 2025...I don't think I will sell it to try to find in stock a 9070xt. I don't know if it's worth it for now 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[-]

Zero_exe_exe@reddit

For the loss you take in selling used then buying + taxes for 10% performance? Not worth it.

Save your money. 7900XT is an absolute power house.

[-]

RahbinGraves@reddit

Same. I'll wait until AMD does another enthusiast card or until the AI stuff has more time to cook

[-]

King_Air_Kaptian1989@reddit

I got both.

I get VRAM limited occasionally on the 9070XT at 4k with MSFS. But not all the time. They are both good and performance is exactly the same in the few games I play. I mainly do flight aim

[-]

Zero_exe_exe@reddit

Then off depth of field and anti aliasing. I 4K, don't use those. Frames go way up!

[-]

Hombremaniac@reddit

As an owner of 7900XT Nitro+ nothing from this gen, both Nvidia and AMD, pushes me to upgrade. Also once some version of FSR4 gets implemented for RDNA 3, that alone will prolong the life of my GPU considerably.

[-]

Zero_exe_exe@reddit

I got the XFX 7900XT. Absolute power house of a GPU, it 4K 120hz everything I throw at it.

I don't preset ultra. It's a PC, not a PlayStation, so I adjust each game settings. I generally turn off Anti Aliasing (not needed for 4K with pixel density) and I turn off depth of field. Easy 120hz all day.
