That is a huge upgrade and a high end build.

For me where I am the price is $950 for the 7900 XTX and $1,200 for the 4080 super. No matter which way you slice it the 4080 Super isn't $250 dollar better unless you're just a Cyberpunk,Allen Wake player and only care about RT in them games and don't ever play anything else. But at the end of the day get the GPU YOU want and can afford and be happy both are powerhouse cards that will give many years of 1440p and 4k max setting worth of gameplay.

@pR0ManiacS Only Allen Wake 2 and Cyberpunk at 4k pushes the 7900 XTX down...I can run RT at 1440k Ultra on Cyberpunk and get over 60 frames of smooth gameplay... If you ONLY play them titles at 4k then the 4080S will be the way to go but all other RT games can be played with the 7900 XTX. I play mostly sim racing and online shooters which will NEVER have RT in them so for me getting the 4080 for more money is useless.

One point that shouldn't be overlooked is overclocking. I've had both Reference and Nitro + 7900 XTX's, and the reference overclocked 10% over stock and the Nitro about 14-15% over reference stock. On the 4080's you're lucky if you get 5% extra, usually more like 3-4%

He is referring to the reference card where the base clock is 2300mhz and boost only 2500mhz. So in that case the nitro +has a base clock of 3000 mhz. The board partner model of the 4080 is almost on the max possible target. There is barely headroom for OC. No big difference between reference and board. My nitro+ runs well at these settings: Base speed 3000mhz Power + 15% Voltage 1100mv VRAM 2700mhz Any further is possible depending but you have to unfortunately increase the voltage

I get the same 10% out of my non-OC 4070 Ti model. So I do not see any reason why 4080 Super is a worse overclocker. Unlike 7900 XTX, this card is somewhat limited by memory bandwidth, so overclocking VRAM alone will surely bring 5% improvement. Overcloking cores will result in another 5%.

The 7900xtx is actually the worst card I have ever had the misfortune to overclock. You have to tune it on a game to game basis as the core clocks can change by almost 300mhz in certain loads. In 3dmark I could get the card to hold over 3ghz no problem but then I'd load up a game and anything over 2.7ghz would crash, then I'd play another game and 2.8ghz was the magic number before it crashed. There is zero consistency with the card and honestly unless you want to stress test every game then it's not worth overclocking. The 4080 Super on the other hand took me 10 minutes to dial in and has been a rock solid 2940mhz in every load. Overall the 4080 gets like 5-7% increase max i've seen was 11% and the AMD best case would get 0-12% depending on the load. Overall I'd say they have similar headroom but the AMD is just way too finicky for me to ever want to OC again.

Over here the Xtx is 20~25% cheaper, making it a no-brainer.

The XTX price is very appealing, but it seems like the long term investment favours the 4080S, given the energy consumption difference. I'd probably end up spending the monetary difference on electricity while gaming alone, in less than a year. It's a lot of money that can go towards new high end card when the time comes.

I enjoyed your video today but as always there could be some real world difference between these 2 cracking cards, I would be interested to know what monitor you used in these tests, a lot of people won’t be making desicions correctly based on these tests, if someone has a 60hz 4K monitor then a lot of these tests won’t matter as both cards would be very evenly matched in terms of raw power, and so the cost would make a difference. Could you test these cards with 2 different monitors or different refresh rates and connections via display ports and hdmi as this would help more people narrow down the differences.

In August of 2023, I really lucked out because Newegg had an open-box card that was priced so low that I couldn't say no. They had an ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming OC for $1148CAD which was about $850USD. After verifying that it was still fully covered by ASRock's factory warranty, I pulled the trigger and it has had a home in my Server Supertower ever since. It was being sold even cheaper than the RX 7900 XT at the time and, even though I was already rocking an RX 6800 XT, I knew that if I didn't buy the XTX, I'd be kicking myself for a very long time. To my knowledge, no XTX has been listed for that low of a price before or since.

I've had it about a year and I just can't anymore. I'm sick and tired of the issues. Hell I had to order a new case just to fit the damn thing. It's so worth it if I don't have to deal with AMD driver crashing far too often. AMD drivers especially are awful. It's unacceptable for a $1,000 card, hell it's unacceptable even for a $300 card. They are similar performance but if I don't have to deal with driver crashing I'll spend $200 more for the same performance. I've had enough, AMD has had more than a fair try from me having a 5700 xt which had some driver issues, had a 6900 xt which was fine and then sold again for a 7900 xtx and I'm just done playing with AMD driver disasters. They need to stop trying to match Nvidia features and get stability down. You can make amazing cards but if they crash often no one cares and is exactly why their gpu market has barely moved. Fix your damn drivers AMD.

This was very comprehensive and quite surprising at times TBH. I had thought the 4080 Super would have had a bigger RT lead at all times than it (with a few exceptions such as outliers like Cyberpunk). If both GPUs were the same price as they basically are in the US, I think getting a 4080 Super is a no brainer if you vou play a lot of RT games. In the EU given that the 4080 Super pricing is now the same as the standard 4080 and in some cases €100 more expensive for the same brand of card. And you can get a higher end 7900XTX for €200-250 less than a 4080 Super, the Super becomes a much harder sell. The 7900XTX is basically in the same price bracket as the 4070 ti Super here. At around €1050. I think the 7900XTX is the better choice in this region, even if you like RT turned on.

Nvidia takes a pretty significant lead in many other RT games, that were not tested here, like Avatar, Dying Light 2, Metro Exodus, Crysis, Returnal, Bright Memory, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Medium, Spider Man Miles Morales, SotTR, RTX Remix games etc. But it is just impossible to test every game. The gap between these two cards depends on how many and how intensive (resolution/quality) RT effects are in certain games.

Did you test in both cards with 200% of render image quality in settings? I have a RTx 7900xtx and when I put in 200% of render the 24 GB of VRAM supports without problems, but when I do it the same in RTx 4070 ti (12 GB of VRAM), this card exceeds the limit and has a dramatically falls in the FPS. Obviously, to do this in both cards I use a power supply of 1000 watts. I notice that in several comparisons in KZread, no one changes that settings. Why?

Should I buy a rtx 4080 super with a i7 14700k or a Rx 7900 xtx with a ryzen 7 7800x3d

The huge variance in power draw may not cause extreme temps on the core those temps are going into my room. I live in florida and the thought of paying for an extra 100-150 watts 10 hours a day and then paying to cool all that. The costs do add up for me. Not only that but my room is much more comfortable than it would be with the 7900xtx. Id honestly have bought the 7900xtx if it was more efficient

I'd like to see this benchmark again but with DLSS vs FSR 3 (or 3.1) included.

RT and path tracing wont go mainstream until Nvidia 6000 series, or when new gen console truly support it. 7900 XTX will last until PS6.

Man I hate the GPU market! Here in Australia the 4080 Super is $1699 AUD (1138 USD) while the 7900XTX is only $1499 AUD (982USD). Seems like the 7900xtx might be the better option, but damn it hurts when I only paid 1200 AUD for my 3080 12GB.

Only problem is now you can get a 4080S at 999 and it’s an argument to be made that the software may be worth the 50-100 dollar difference ?

Didn’t expect this channel to be full of AMD fanboys but oh well

$1000 for 4080 super - maybe in one country - USA, but the market is not limited to one country, in Europe the fees are higher and 1170 euro is the starting price in my country, but Europe is a target market for AMD and there are models even under 1000 euros for 7900 XTX

That is a scary thought where you said the 7900 xtx might lose support if AMD is not competing anymore at the high end. I just read AMD has NPU in CPU coming to desktop soon, so maybe they will just focus on cpus and such going into the future. Just picked up a 4070 Super and 5700x3d for 1440/120 gaming. It should be a massive upgrade from my Ryzen 1600 and Rx 470 4gb.

I think both GPUs are top-notch, and you can't really go wrong with either. The 7900 XTX is still pretty good even for Ray Tracing, although it's slower than Nvidia - might be worth a price difference if that's important to you. Games like Rachet and Clank really show a big gap, but not all Ray Tracing games are like that. Nvidia's still faster overall, just not as mind-blowing as in Rachet and Clank. There are only like 5-10 games where you'll see a massive difference, like even 30% or more.

Nvidia also offers better upscaling/downscaling quality. DLSS Quality at 4K is almost free performance. And DLDSR does a great job in downcscaling 4K image to 1440p, unlike VSR. Plus, there is a difference in power efficiency. Taking into account all these factors, 4080 Super justifies it's small premium (if it is actually small, like less than $100).

Ray tracing is still considered a setting so you can’t max out the settings with one card then it’s definitely not better

But why would u buy such an expensive 4k card, just to be able to handle RT for the price of playing in 2K using DLSS? The 4080 is essentially a crazy overpriced 1440p card with a VRAM amount already being reached (and even surpassed with texture packs). I cant seem to find any sense behind that DLSS and RT argument. Paying a premium price just to use the card a tier below and running into VRAM problems in about 2-3 years maximum. Just seems like a horrible investment to me. Maybe with the next gen RT becomes a little more viable, but probably even more demanding or only accessable to 50-series cards, as typical for Nvidia. This gen I just dont see the 4080 being a good purchase, unless u plan to upgrade in just 2-3 years already, making it a shitty investment imo, cause almost any 4070 would have done the job for a way better price (or the 7900xtx and keep it for 5+years).

I recently chose the 4080S over the 7900XTX mainly for the better RT performance, feature set and generally lower power draw. RT is the future and rasterization is handled well enough in relation to the 7900XTX. Whilst native rendering has its merits DLSS really allows graphical fidelity to reach amazing new heights in RT or even just rasterized rendering.

@@Greenalex89 Actually, it depends about the 1440p you are talking about. I would say that the 4080 (super) is a great 1440p card in 21:9 which has more resolution than 16:9 but isn't quite 4k (21:9 1440p: 3440 x 1440 vs 16:9 1440p: 2560 x 1440 vs 16:9 'true' UHD/4k: 3840 x 2160) DLSS and RT becomes actually pretty decent at that slightly below 4k resolution.

Where I live they are the same price, with the exception that for the 7900 XTX the cheaper ones are brands like ASRock, Sapphire, on the Nvidia side it's possible to have an ASUS TUF for the same price, personally, for the same price and the Asus brand that I trust much more than the cheaper brands from AMD I would tend to head towards Nvidia, if AMD would drop $200, that would be a different story.

If you have an AMD CPU paired with the AMD GPU, you can enable AMD's smart acces memory. which gives it anywhere from 5 to 20% performance increase. Then take into account that in most places the 7900xtx is a couple hundred bucks cheaper than the rtx4080, And the fact that the 7900xtx has 8GB more VRAM..... the only reason you'd ever logically go for the 4080 super is if ray tracing is all you care about.

or if you care about stability

My opinion is: I don't care for those 5 games in the industry that have an RT option, I will never turn them on and lose a lot of FPS, but the truth is. The RTX 7900 XTX has 8GB more VRAM and 384 Bits and is more affordable, while the RTX 4080 Super has 16GB VRAM only and 256 Bits, for a num game workflow AMD, is the true winner BUT, if you are looking for Professional Workloads and IA Generators Locally, Nvidia is the only choice because all those professionals workloads loves CUDA Cores and AMD doesn't have it, which in my case is unfortunately since here in my country I can buy a card cheaper with 8GB VRam more and 128 Bits more, but I cannot buy it because doesn't have CUDA Cores.

100w product may admit more heat or less heat than a 200w (although your rule of thumb is not off it is an assumption), as heat is a waste product and a by-product of the efficiency of the processing. It is not necessarily a linear relationship. My point was comparing two cards at different power draws and saying because they are the same GPU temperature does not mean the waste heat will be the same. OC cards tend me be less efficient (as you push silicone harder efficiency or processing per watt will decrease, even if overall processing output is higher), so even if the cooler is maintaining the same temperature its likely dumping more waste energy into the room. Largely this is why I undervolt components as it improves efficiency and increases the processing per watt. Reducing waste heat generation. Truth is a lot of these cards have a huge margin of safety in for stability and longevity. So depending on the silicon lottery there is always room for optimisation and improved efficiency. Another way to look at this is a bronze vs gold rated PSU. Both may produce 1000W on the DC side but the bronze will draw 1200w from AC , whilst the gold may only draw 1100w. Both have the same output, but the bronze will dump an additional 100w of waste energy into the room. Again, bit of a generalisation but same rule of thumb.

Separate series of videos on that coming up soon.

In Norway, both cards come with a 1200+-$, so i dont see any good reason to choose amd instead of nvidia. If there were bigger differences in price, i may have chosen amd.

In the UK the 4080 Super is still at £1050, whilst I can find an RX 7900XTX for £900, the 7900XTX will be the card I’ll be going for in my first desktop build, currently I’m running a 4060 Laptop with a Ryzen 7 7735HS, it’s a good little laptop for £1366 and I’m happy how it performs at 1080p, but I want to use some heavier mods and wanna start gaming at 1440p/4K, I’m not too worried about Ray Tracing since if you wanna run ray tracing at 4K with 60FPS, you’re gonna need a 4090 for that, and I’d just rather buy another whole ass car for that money 😂

As an AMD user (6700XT, 6800XT and 6900XT in my systems), I decided to try a 4070 TI Super to replace my 6900XT. Wow what a massive jump up. Quality, FPS etc all way better. 4080 Super on its way for my other PC.

Many think the rx 7900xtx is better because it is cheaper and with more vram but as the technology moves ahead being a game designer myself I can say soon most games will come with Ray tracing as default and raw power wont be a thing..... Things like AI upscaling DLSS or FSR will become standard and not to forget the power consumption of the RTX card is way lower and with better performance in DLSS and RT for me the 200 dollars extra price tag is much more worth it. The only beef with 4080 super is the vram but I guess for most part atleast for a few years 16 GB will be more than enough for around 95% of the games. Just my take as an industry professional because it is much easier to light games using ray tracing than baking each light for rasterization so no designer or company ahead wants to spend time and money in baking lights just use ray tracing 1 click and realistic light no effort, and thats where I see the future game industry going. So yeah just a comment hope it gets pinned so that people also take into account these things before going for just raw power at cheaper price at cost of long term higher energy bills and less performance in future with RT games as default. 😅

I had the 7900xtx but had to return it. I was having so many issues with stuttering and about 20% of the time I had a weird artifact problem when starting a game. This was on a new build. I am much happier with the 4080.

I'm not at all confident that RTX 5K GPUs will be available to the unwashed masses any time in 2024, so I'm considering using a 4080 Super in my upcoming AM5 build. It's not for ray tracing performance because I don't play any RT games. I'm only going there because I already have a 7900XTX.

I found an Rx 7900 xtx for $919 on Amazon and it was very easy to find, also rtx 4080 super I found for 1 thousand, and the rest were over 1k.

Both cards are not, "under 1000". You can easily find the xtx for 850-950, but the 4080 is 1000 to 1200.

the 7900 xtx costs 1200 euro and the 4080 cost 1300 euro for me. i stil dont know what to choose, as i dont know if ray tracing is going to be that important.

Personally the TDP for me push me over to Nvidia, in my case sure the xtx cost less but on the long run it'll be more expensive to run with that ridiculous power draw. Less vram sucks but 400w while running a game for a couple of hours? Dude.

"Nvidia is the master of ray tracing" -eTeknix Is it? I beg to differ. Strangely, the only game that can possibly answer that question definitively was left out: Avatar. Why? We know Avatar has RT baked into the game itself which means the developer would have had to optimize RT performance for both brands. That is not the case with other games.

I think its important to remember that no gamer ever woke up and said I am not playing anymore games until we have raytracing.... The reality is hardly anyone cares about it and while I am not a fan of AMD stuff (Always seems below the current standard albeit at a reasonable price to performance ratio) I can't help but look more seriously at their graphics cards when Nvidia are bending the customer base over with their ridiculous prices. Why would anyone pay 2k for a 4090 (and I appreciate we are looking at the 4080 Super here) when an entire new PC with everything else in total costs the same and just takes PC gaming outside the realms of possibility for most. On top of this Intel seem to have screwed the pooch seriously in this latest drop of technology too. So perhaps its AMD's time to get some custom, lord knows while my last 5 GPUs have been Nvidia and my last 4 CPUs have been intel I am seriously considering switching over at this point.

Have you used DDU before installing 7900 XTX drivers?

So if anyone would be behind it's, nvidia. They can't even think of giving their customers premium builds. You're going to pay more for a card that if they wanted, they could blow away AMD just by adding more ram. I came from nvidia to amd for that reason. I just don't think investing money into a company that wants you to pay more because that's what they want you to do and let's not forget all the third party card builders they've cut out too that we all loved because of greed.

Considering the driver issues the 7900 xtx has, I'd really argue for Nvidia now. I can understand why AMD graphics side hasn't really made much of a dent. I just bought a 4080 super oc today because I'm over the 7900 xtx driver crashing. I had to buy a new case as well to fit the card. AMD needs to get stability down before they attempt to match nvidia in anything else. They can make the best cards on the planet but if the driver crashes every day no one is going to want it. It crashes far too often for me in Darktide, especially if I alt tab during a loading screen now. Had a few in remnant 2, and I'm just over it. I am sick and tired of pissing with my computer instead of just enjoying it. If the 4080 shows up and has no issues I am all for paying $200 more for the same performance. Usability needs to be put into these videos anymore because the drivers for the 7900 xtx are getting MORE unstable not less anymore.

People will go usually with their wallet can afford. The 7900xtx was always aimed at the 4080,the 4090 was out on its own 😆. Looking at pulling the trigger on the 7900xtx could technically afford the 4090 but that's 600 more for alittle more performance and I'm not fussed about RT.
