With nvidia dropping the price of the 4070 to $549, I think AMD needs to drop the price of the 7800xt to $469 in order to stay competitive. (alien.top)

Looking at the advantages, the 7800xt has:

  1. 10% lower price

  2. 4 more gigs of vram

  3. 6% better raster performance.

The 4070 has:

  1. Better frame gen

  2. Better upscaling via dlss

  3. Better drivers

  4. Better rt performance

  5. CUDA for the few people that actually need it.

  6. Better power efficiency.

  7. The ability to use both dlss and fsr. If a game just has dlss, amd users are screwed.

All in all I think the AMD card is still the underdog based in advantages and needs to be at least 15% cheaper in order to sway buyers to team red. For just a $50 price difference, the team green advantages are too stacked imo.

Edit: this is of course in the US market. Every market is different.

Glad I bought the 7800xt a few weeks ago at $450 from Newegg. Great value and performance has been amazing. I don't think AMD needs to drop the price on the 7800xt yet ( would be nice for it to be more competitive ) but $500 for what it gives is a deal tbh

Edit: now the 7700xt on the other hand needs to drop to $400 and if it does it will get more attention.
