Our Verdict: Upgrading from RTX 4070 to RX 6950 XT is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 4070 .

AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT

The RX 6950 XT is much more expensive than the RX 5700 XT as it costs a whopping $ 1099. Compare this to the RX 5700 XT, which came originally at a price of $ 399. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the RTX 3090 Ti which costs $ 1999. Spec for spec, this RX 6950 XT leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 5700 XT, by boasting 116.2 % more fps.

The RX 6950 XT has 16 GB RAM compared to the RX 5700 XT 's 8 GB video memory. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 3090 Ti, the RX 6950 XT was 1.7 % faster.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 6950 XT consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX 5700 XT and it really justifies an upgrade. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Microsoft Flight Simulator, Immortals of Aveum, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II, The Last of Us Part I at 77 fps to 97 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 85 fps.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play The Callisto Protocol, Microsoft Flight Simulator, The Last of Us Part I, Forspoken, Atomic Heart at 62 fps to 83 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 72 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Borderlands 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Hogwarts Legacy at 61 fps to 68 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 65 fps.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

The RTX 4080 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Ada Lovelace set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 4070 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 599. Spec for spec, this RTX 4070 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 3070, by boasting 30.5 % more fps.

The RTX 4070 has 12 GB RAM compared to the RTX 3070 's 8 GB video memory. In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4070 blows past the RTX 3070, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and, amazingly, even the RTX 3080 as well.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 4070 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 3070, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Immortals of Aveum, Microsoft Flight Simulator, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II, The Last of Us Part I at 69 fps to 93 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 78 fps.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Microsoft Flight Simulator, Forspoken, The Last of Us Part I, Atomic Heart, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor at 64 fps to 78 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 70 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Hogwarts Legacy, Halo Infinite at 63 fps to 66 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 65 fps.

AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT / Ryzen 9 5950X

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RX 6950 XT is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RX 6950 XT is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. It is worth noting that the RX 6950 XT is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RX 6950 XT 's 16384 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RX 6950 XT , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
