These hefty RTX 4070 Ti and RX 7900 XT graphics card deals are asking one key question: Do you want more memory or ray-traced gaming performance?
MSI RTX 4070 Ti | 12GB GDDR6X | 7,680 shaders | 2,640MHz boost | $769.99$699.99 at Newegg (save $58 with promo code VGAEXCMSET599)
The RTX 4070 Ti is no longer in production, due to the release of the RTX 4070 Ti Super, but there are still lots of them on shelves. It's still too soon for any big discounts but you can get one like this twin fan MSI model for well under its MSRP. It's a seriously powerful GPU but it's also still a bit expensive for what it is.

ASRock RX 7900 XT | 20GB GDDR6 | 5,376 shaders | 2,450MHz boost | $699.99 at Newegg
Seeing a bunch of RX 7900 XTs selling for well less than the original MSRP is a welcome sight, and while they might get overshadowed by some of Nvidia's greatest, they deliver a huge amount of performance. What we like about the ASRock in particular is that it should run quieter than your average RX 7900 XT. We all could do with a little less noise from our PC.

What we have here are two graphics cards that were meant to retail for $899 when they launched. And, honestly, that was a laughable price for both GPUs. The Radeon RX 7900 XT is the second-tier RDNA 3 card, coming in just $100 below the top card in the chiplet GPU stack, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but with a 10% dip in gaming performance.
If you were spending that much cash, you'd always kick yourself for not spending that little bit more on the clearly superior card. Thankfully that performance delta has only grown, and now you can pick up the RX 7900 XT for $699.99 at Newegg that makes it a far more tempting proposition.
The cheapest RX 7900 XTX I can find is $920, which means you're spending 24% less cash on an RX 7900 XT for 90% of the gaming performance of the top card. Those are some numbers I'm a lot more comfortable with.
The tale around the RTX 4070 Ti, however, is even more laughable than the original $899 price
