GeForce RTX 2070 Super with Max-Q Design vs Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce RTX 2070 Super with Max-Q Design

2020

Why buy it

  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • Draws 80W instead of 400W, a 320W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 3.8 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $3,499 MSRP).

Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot

2021

Why buy it

  • 31.6% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 3.8 vs 0 G3D/$ ($3,499 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Better long-term bet: RDNA 2.0 (2020−2025) on 7nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • 400% higher power demand at 400W vs 80W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 31.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce RTX 2070 Super with Max-Q Design instead at 13,444 vs 13,182, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020), a 7nm process instead of 12nm, 602 vs 40 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2021 generation instead of 2020. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup.
