02 · Decision matrix
One decision, three separate questions
Capability ignores price. Relative Value adds the current dataset offers and your priorities. Keeping them separate prevents a cheap product from being mistaken for the faster product.

RTX 4070 grades higher in 1 of 6 graded scenarios (5 tied) and is never graded lower. 1 scenario can't be graded for one of them (shown as N/A). These are the same S–F grades as the tier list — capability only, price excluded. The value rows below add prices from the 2026-08-23 offer frame. How tiers are assigned →

Both products are normalized within the same in-stock market frame per preset. A check marks the higher Relative Value; a difference of 3 points or less is shown as practically even.
Crossover price is loading. The switch-over point and Strong Value threshold appear as soon as today's offer snapshots are confirmed in your browser.

3-year electricity model
Over 3 years at 4h/day and $0.15/kWh, RX 9070 GRE (215 W) adds about $71 in modeled electricity and RTX 4070 (200 W) about $66. The modeled difference is roughly $5. This uses rated power as a common comparison input, not a promise of wall-power consumption.

07 · Customize
Try other models and your own priorities
Presets are starting points. Swap either side, then open Advanced weights only if you want to tune the formula directly.
08 · Alternative
A third option worth checking
The same scenario and market frame checks whether another currently priced model offers a cleaner trade-off.
No cleaner third option in this dataset
The scenario-aware check did not find a currently priced alternative that improves this decision without changing the trade-off. This is a dataset result, not a claim that no other product exists.
A price-aware third suggestion appears once today's offer snapshots are confirmed in your browser.
09 · Decision guide
Choose based on the trade-off you actually want
These are evidence-linked conditions, not universal buying verdicts. Feature ecosystems, software support and platform preferences remain your call.
Choose A · RX 9070 GRE if…
- Your priorities resemble Balanced, 1080p Budget, 1440p Sweet Spot — it has higher Relative Value under those presets at the snapshot offers.
- You can find it at or below its Strong Value threshold of $644 under balanced weights.
Choose B · RTX 4070 if…
- You prioritize Light Use & Efficiency — it earns the higher capability tier in those tracked scenarios.
- Your priorities resemble AI / LLM — it has higher Relative Value under those presets at the snapshot offers.
- Lower rated power matters: 200 W versus 215 W for RX 9070 GRE.
- You can find it at or below its Strong Value threshold of $609 under balanced weights.
10 · Methodology & FAQ
Read the methodology →How to read this comparison
The formula is a linear weighted sum inside the current comparison frame. Capability, price and user priorities stay visible as separate inputs so the result can be challenged and changed.
- Which is better value right now: RX 9070 GRE or RTX 4070?
- Under the balanced preset and the 2026-08-23 offer frame, RX 9070 GRE has higher Relative Value under this configuration (92 vs 70). Value is price-dependent and moves with your weighting; capability is a separate question, answered by the tier table.
- Which one is more capable, ignoring price?
- RTX 4070 grades higher in 1 of 6 graded scenarios (5 tied) and is never graded lower. 1 scenario can't be graded for one of them (shown as N/A).
- At what price does the RTX 4070 become the better value?
- Holding the RX 9070 GRE offer dated in the 2026-08-23 frame fixed, the calculation flips in favour of the RTX 4070 at roughly $500 or below (balanced preset). Not a price forecast.
- Where can I compare current offers for both?
- Dated offer snapshots for both models are listed on their product pages (linked above); the interactive calculator recalculates both with your own weights and budget.
