AS WE SAID right at the start, in terms of the GPU market, Nvidia has had a stranglehold on the sector for a while, with AMD appearing as the underdog despite releasing many excellent cards at highly competitive prices over the years. With the latest releases of GPUs from both sides, AMD’s pricing policy has made the choice of an RTX card even harder to justify over what AMD has to offer.
For example,) shows you can pick up an Asus GeForce RTX 4080 TUF Gaming 16GB for just under $1,200 at the time of writing. Whereas the cheapest boxed Radeon RX 7900XT on Newegg is the XFX Speedster MERC310 Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB, at $850. For a similar performance, that’s quite the price difference. That’s also why we are putting this Radeon RX 7900XT machine up against our recent GeForce RTX 4080, both of which are the second-best GPUs from each GPU manufacturer. Both systems are similarly priced, so which one should you opt for?
