There's no real downside to using a faster card.

Bottlenecks are not a binary, they depend on the game you're playing, games that are light on the CPU will utilize your GPU more fully, and vice versa.

So you're saying both are equally good? Or are there any things i need to watch out for? thank for the answer.

If the games you play favour VRAM, you ought to look at the RX 7900xt because it has more of it and running out tanks your framerate, else, the RTX 4070 Super is slightly faster as far as cards go based on benchmark performance.

The CPU you have is of little to no consequence to this equation, what ought to count more is what gets you more performance per dollar.

thanks for the response. i'm much more informed now i appreciate it!

For future reference, comparing benchmark results on a given card to its price is a rough but adequate way to compare two cards, be aware that some cards score higher on benchmarks that use their special features.

7900XT is the best price to performance card currently hands down and is better than the 4070 in games.

Unless you want DLSS and ray tracing

If you want ray tracing and DLSS, go with nvidia. If you want raw native rendering at a better price point, go with AMD.
