₹48,000₹12,000 CHEAPER · 16GB VS 12GBWithin a few percent on speed, ₹12,000 apart on price, and it carries 4GB more memory.These two trade blows in raster - the 4070 is ahead by about 5%, which is inside the margin where you would never notice without a counter on screen. The price gap is not inside any margin: ₹48,000 against ₹60,000, with the cheaper card also carrying 16GB against 12GB.
Put simply, ₹12,000 buys you ray tracing performance and DLSS 4. That is the entire transaction. If those two things are central to how you play, the 4070 is a defensible purchase and I would not argue with you. If they are not, you are paying ₹12,000 for a logo and giving up VRAM to do it.
The counterweight is power: the 7800 XT draws 263W against 200W and wants a 700W supply where the 4070 is content with 650W. Budget accordingly. For 1440p raster gaming, the 7800 XT is the better hardware for the money - and the extra memory is what makes it the safer four-year card.
Indian pricing on outgoing NVIDIA cards holds near its old level until stock simply runs out, so do not wait for a 4070 clearance that is not coming. If you find one dramatically below ₹57,000, check whether it is a parallel import before you celebrate - the warranty difference costs more than the discount saves.
Effectively the same frames for ₹12,000 less, with 4GB more VRAM. The straightforward value pick at this tier.
This is what the premium buys. If RT-heavy titles are your main library, it is a fair trade rather than a bad one.
200W versus 263W matters if you are not replacing the power supply. Do not run a 263W card on a marginal unit to save money.
For raster gaming, clearly - it costs about ₹12,000 less, carries 16GB against 12GB, and is within roughly 5% on frame rates. The 4070 justifies its price only if ray tracing and DLSS 4 matter to you.
For current titles at high settings, yes. The 7800 XT's 16GB is the more comfortable position over a four-year horizon, especially with texture-heavy games and mods.
263W against the 4070's 200W, which means a quality 700W supply rather than 650W. That is a real cost to factor into the price comparison.
Unlikely in a meaningful way. Outgoing NVIDIA stock here tends to hold its price until it sells out rather than being discounted. Steep discounts are worth checking for parallel-import origin.
RX 7800 XT 16GB
Best AMD value 1440p card. 16GB VRAM and strong raster. RT is okay but not its strength. Pair with non-RT-heavy games.
RTX 4070 12GB
Solid 1440p card. 12GB VRAM is borderline for ultra textures — 4070 Super is better value if available.
