RTX 4070 Ti Super vs RX 7900 XT: Gaming Performance & Bottleneck (2026)

The RTX 4070 Ti Super and RX 7900 XT are effectively tied: at 1440p High they average 112 and 112 FPS in AAA games with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and at 4K the gap is just 0%. It's a cross-brand matchup: NVIDIA's 2024 card against AMD's 2022 card. At 1080p they're level too. Ray tracing widens the gap to 43% (65 vs 46 FPS at 1440p), as the RX 7900 XT's RT hardware is less efficient. In esports games like CS2 or Valorant at 1080p they reach 475 and 475 FPS, so either can feed a 360 Hz monitor. At 4K High the RTX 4070 Ti Super averages 68 FPS and the RX 7900 XT 68, both playable without upscaling. The RX 7900 XT also has more memory (20 GB vs 16 GB), though both have enough for 4K High today. With frame rates this close, price and the features you value should decide, not benchmarks. To stay under a 10% CPU bottleneck at 1440p, both need a Ryzen 5 5600 or faster.

Which should you buy?

On raster performance this is a coin toss, so buy whichever is cheaper where you shop. If you play with ray tracing, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is the safer pick (43% faster with RT at 1440p). At the same price, take the RX 7900 XT for its extra VRAM.

Buy the RTX 4070 Ti Super if…

  • you play with ray tracing: 65 vs 46 FPS at 1440p.
  • you want the newer card (2024) with the longer driver and feature support ahead of it.

Buy the RX 7900 XT if…

  • you play at 4K or use high-resolution texture packs: 20 GB of VRAM vs 16 GB.
  • it's the cheaper of the two where you shop: performance is close enough that price decides.

RTX 4070 Ti Super vs RX 7900 XT: quick answers

Is the RTX 4070 Ti Super faster than the RX 7900 XT?

They're within 0% of each other at 4K and 0% at 1440p, so in practice they perform the same. With ray tracing on at 1440p the RTX 4070 Ti Super gets about 65 FPS and the RX 7900 XT 46 FPS.

How many FPS do the RTX 4070 Ti Super and RX 7900 XT get?

With a Ryzen 7 9800X3D at High settings in AAA games, the RTX 4070 Ti Super averages about 158 FPS at 1080p, 112 at 1440p and 68 at 4K. The RX 7900 XT averages 158, 112 and 68 FPS. DLSS, FSR or XeSS upscaling adds roughly 40% where the graphics card is the limit.

What CPU do I need for the RTX 4070 Ti Super or RX 7900 XT?

To keep the CPU bottleneck under 10% at 1440p, the RTX 4070 Ti Super needs at least a Ryzen 5 5600 and the RX 7900 XT needs at least a Ryzen 5 5600. At 1080p you need a faster CPU for the same result, and at 4K a slower one is fine.
