RTX 4070 vs RX 6950 XT: The Ultimate Comparison!!!

The RTX 4070 and the RX 6950 XT actually cost about the same in the current market, which makes for a very interesting comparison. The 4070 brings some massive energy efficiency gains, along with newer technologies like AV1 encoding and Frame Generation, along with some of Nvidia's traditional advantages in upscaling tech and productivity app support. However, the raw power and larger VRAM capacity of the 6950 XT are certainly hard to ignore. Let's look at these compared in detail in the latest games!
