4060ti & 7700XT costs around the same & 7700XT performs like 4070 or even better in some cases. so why would some one shouldn’t pick 7700XT over 4060ti? Or even 6750XT which much cheaper and performs like 4060ti. 6750 & 7700XT seems more vfm, isn’t? plus its comes with 12GB vram instead of 8GB.

I got a 7700XT on sale for 1080p gaming and have loved it.
I prefer having CUDA if I had to pick between those options and proper DirectX11 and OpenGL performance for older games is something I can’t ignore.
In some countries 4060ti is significantly cheaper than 7700xt. (For example in UA even 4060ti16gb is cheaper than 7700xt, so obviously in long term 16gb>12gb)
Don’t forget about Nvidia feature set, dlss>fsr, cuda for work, and ability to run path tracing, yes on potato resolution, but you have options, while 7700xt unfortunately can run only useless RT like in resident evil where because of the shimmer (low resolution RT reflections), you won’t even turn it on. (Obviously in games with RT global ilumination at least 4060ti>7700xt)
But if in your country 7700xt costs the same as 4060ti8gb, there’s no point buying weaker GPU. 4060ti16gb worth it only if it’s cheaper than 7700xt. So yeah it all comes down to price’s.
In some countries the prices are a bit mixed up.
Raytracing is worse on AMD, not everyone needs it.
CUDA on NVIDIA is important for many developers, not everyone needs it.
DLSS is quite better than what AMD offers and should generally be used if avaible, so the performance gap widens
Keep in mind that retail prices are way different from manufacturer recommendations. I would like to buy “best performance value per dollar” but, you know, we live in real world.
That’s not really how it works. Most people don’t actually choose the 4060ti over the 7700XT, they simply buy a pre built with the 4060 ti in it.
Most PC builder with focus on 1080p /1440p gaming go for AMD rather than NVIDIA because it’s simply better value. That being said, there is a niche targegroup that absolutely do choose the 4060 TI over the 7700XT because they have certain workloads that scale much better due to the tensor cores such as 3d rendering, one example being optix on Blender, as far as gamers are concerned, they would usually go for AMD in the budget segment, obviously there are also the die hard fanboys, but they are such an insignificant amount that they arent really worth talking about.
BUUUUUTTTT DLLLSSSSS!!!!
no wonder nvidia is relying so hard on AI when their gpus are performing like that lol
4060ti was cheaper in brazil than a 7700xt, plus i didnt have the recommended psu
There are other factors too, one being regional pricing. Let’s say they both cost the same something like $100 in the USA or Canada since that’s where the big tech reviewers are, price to performance in non-RT native resolution leans to AMD more often than not. What about a region where AMD costs $200 whilst Nvidia costs $150, well then it’d lean another way obviously. That’s the issue with many, price to performance equates only in places using the same reference price but outside of that? Different story.
Another factor is that AMD has equivalents of Nvidias technology, most popular is DLSS. FSR is no slouch in upscaling, but DLSS just wins if setup properly. That’s where the premium on Nvidia usually comes into play, they may not have the best Hardware for gaming all the time but they have software to supplement this and make up for it.
Raytracing isn’t a factor, too low-end it’s not a selling point.
CUDA is something as well to consider. Not everyone will use it and it’s mostly workstation and in this subreddit no real point discussing that as most people here don’t care, that’s fine but it just makes stuff like 3D rendering and video encoding better essentially, better than AMD.
Lastly, Nvidia is just so ingrained in the public as THE GPU to get just as much as Apple is THE phone to get (less so now but still it’s the best comparison I could think of).
It’s a lot more complicated overall as a topic than just “It get more FPS for same cost, why no buy?”. It’s complicated and Reddit isn’t gonna give you an answer to complicated answers all the time.
Don’t forget power: a 700 W PSU is recommended for the 7700 XT, a 550 W one for the 4060 Ti.
I dont know what’s the situation with nVidia after gtx 1060.
After that card I bought amd 6650xt and compared to nVidia I had, drivers are crazy bad. It was a whole year to get decent drivers, and now I don’t even want to upgrade further…
But lately, I heard that nVidia is also not on the level with drivers as before.
Earlier, it was easy decision to go with nVidia. Would gladly sacrifice performance to have stability and not having to workaround for every single game.. Today, I guess Amd (especially 7700xt vs 4060ti) is better solution, as none of them have perfect drivers.
A 4060Ti and 7700xt are practically the same price.
I’d buy the 4060Ti for these reasons
– DLSS is superior to FSR
– NVENC
– In my experience NVIDIA’s software and drvers are just better quality than AMD’s offering. The AMD cards I’ve had in the past always gave me troubles such as the black screen of death on my RX570. 2 different Ryzen APU laptops that shit themselves when playing hardware accelerated video.
– Yes the raw performance is higher on the AMD card, but they need much higher power consumption to do it. Electricity is expensive right now.
>7700XT performs like 4070
no it doesn’t. The 4070 is with in 3-7 % of a 7800XT, Look better with upscaling and crushes with RT.
>Or even 6750XT which much cheaper and performs like 4060ti
Another fallacy. The 4060ti is as about as fast as a 3070. Outside of cherry picking benchmarks a 67xxXT is not beating a 3070 or a 4060Ti.
Nobody is doubting AMD value, especially under 500USD where RT is pointless. but stick to the facts.
Is it my turn to post this shit tomorrow? Can I Karma farm as well tomorrow?
Remember folks: amd good, NVIDIA bad.
Amd helps poor people, NVIDIA likes to slaughter and eat innocent children once a month at full moon
Amd cards don’t run VR as well
7700XT is better but not 4070/6800XT good. Doesn’t even really beat 6800 non XT enough
I think for some people DLSS is a big factor. I recently switched from an Nvidia 2060 Super to a mobile RX6650, and although raw performance is pretty much identical, I have noticed that image quality using FSR is definitely not as good in games.
Raytracing, CUDA, DLSS 3 & 3.7
Those are the reasons to go Nvidia even though, on paper, the performance per dollar is worse.
The RTX consumes 165W while the XT consumes 286W.
If price is your concern, you should account the energy cost over time too.
In India where i live, the 6750XT is a good 100$ cheaper than a 4060ti , thus making it a no brainer for me.
this amd fanboy is spamming the same post in every sub 😀 😀 😀 keep crying bruh
If my 1660 dies i will buy one more 1660
The prices in my region for this tech is like 5-6 month wages
The 7700xt does not perform like the 4070 the 7800xt does though
If you need specific Nvidia features, they are good cards, but if you just want gaming performance for $, definitely go amd, just make sure to choose the best card in your budget, sometimes certain cards in the series are like recycled from another bracket
The feature set of the 40 series is better in almost every way except the basic performance checks like this one. I’d rather take slightly lower performance and have DLSS which is much better at lower resolutions, as an example.
Ray tracing hype/Nvidia marketing machine go brrrrrrr. Also already the market share is there, so due to a myriad of factors it’s not just going to change over night (even if it should)
As someone who works with blender, I sadly don’t have an option but to buy nvidia gpu (nvidia is much better with blender) hopefully amd will match nvidia in the future
Nvidia chips are far superior when it comes to rendering. Image generation, Ray tracing, dynamic resolution etc. If you’re just looking for price to performance for gaming, then AMD is totally fine.
>so why would some one shouldn’t pick 7700XT over 4060ti?
Some people just want Nvidia. Mystery solved.
Some people need Nvidia’s CUDA. Video editors, 3D students (pros would get a 4080 Super or better I imagine)…
Aside from that, AMD has that price segment cornered. Maybe someone looking for lower power consumption or who gets a superb deal?
