What’s the deal with AMD gpus?

[Thomas Moore]

I'm working on my first PC build and considering the 7800 XT. I'm confused about how it's faster than the 4070 but also cheaper. I know these cards aren't great for ray tracing, but that's not a big deal for me or most people. AMD's market share is a small fraction compared to Nvidia's, and whenever I mention getting an AMD GPU, people just laugh. So, what's the deal?

good product has to be cheaper than nvidia so people witll buy it

7800xt is good raw power and lots of vram for 1440p. the downside is lacks features. ray tracing performance will be worse but not every game supports it. no dlss 3.0. they have FSR which works not as well as dlss 3.0

so if you want to save money and don't mind ray tracing and dlss not being a thing AMD

if you like spending money and want all the features rtx 4070.
