- 1.Radeon RX 7900 XTX offers remarkable performance at nearly half the price compared to Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090.
- 2.AMD struggles with ray tracing, lagging behind Nvidia’s RTX 4090 across various resolutions, impacting the immersive graphical experience.
- 3.Consider your gaming priorities, budget, and resolution preferences when choosing between AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090.
AMD Remains at the Back in Ray Tracing Reality
However, the ray tracing introduces a new dimension to the plot. When compared to regular rendering, which requires less processing power, ray tracing provides global illumination effects. AMD 7900xtx fails to cope with this problem.
It can be seen from the results across all resolutions, that the 7900 XTX is losing an average of 22% at 1080p, 28% at 1440p, and the most 34% at 4K.
For gamers out there who are looking for the highest performance level with the least compromise on the visual side, Nvidia’s DLSS technology might be the deciding factor.

1. Software Ecosystem and Features: NVIDIA GPUs benefit from institutionalized software systems which include the NVENC tool for content creators and NVIDIA Broadcast for better communication. AMD is closing the gap but Nvidia still has an upper hand here.
2. Driver Optimization: As a result, both AMD and NVIDIA are constantly releasing updates of their drivers to improve performance and fix bugs. However, some users assert that they face more frequent driver-related problems with ATI than Nvidia cards.
3. Future-Proofing: Nvidia’s Tensor Cores, which also help DLSS and AI-powered upscaling, could become a key element in games of the future as well. If life span is the biggest concern, then this is probably a minor issue for the RTX 4090.
4. Power Consumption and Heat Generation: The RTX 4090 uses up a lot of power, will need a heavy-duty power supply, and will produce lots of heat. The 7900 XTX, being more power-efficient, is suitable for the environment, energy consumption, and heat dissipation of the system.
