This GPU faceoff between AMD pits RTX 4060 Ti vs RX 7700 XT, two modern midrange graphics cards that land near the $400 price point and rank among the best graphics cards. The RTX 4060 Ti arrived in 2023 boasting Nvidia's Ada Lovelace GPU architecture, in both 8GB and 16GB versions. The RX 7700 XT launched in the fall of 2023 as AMD's mainstream competitor, sporting the RDNA 3 architecture and boasting 12GB of memory on a 192-bit bus.
These GPUs are some of the more underwhelming SKUs in both the Nvidia and AMD current generation lineups. The 4060 Ti replaces the 3060 Ti in name, but with half the bus width. AMD's 7700 XT keeps the 192-bit interface of the successful RX 6700 XT, however, and both cards occupy the very important $400 price bracket — which is now considered lower midrange given budget GPUs are basically disappearing from the market.
Both GPUs have seen price changes in the months following their respective launches, some official and some just street price corrections. We'll look at performance, price, features, technology, software, and power efficiency — in order of decreasing importance — to see which is the best graphics card overall in this market segment.
