I'm trying to decide between getting the RX 7900 XT or spending $130 more to go for the RX 9070 XT. Here are my current specs: R7 5700X3D, GTX 1660 Super, B450 Tomahawk Max, and 16GB of DDR4 3600MHz Dual Channel RAM. I also run two monitors: a 1440p ultrawide and a 1080p, both at 144Hz. What do you think?

The RX 7900 XT is a significant upgrade over the GTX 1660 Super, so if you find it at a decent second-hand price, it could still be a great option. Just make sure your power supply can handle it since 650W might be a bit cutting it close for higher-demand cards.
Definitely go for the RX 9070 XT if you can afford it. You're looking at about a 10% performance increase, and when you utilize features like FSR or ray tracing, it really shines compared to the RX 7900 XT.
Both the 5070 Ti and the 9070 XT are solid choices for gaming, so you can't go wrong there! Just be sure to check current prices.
Avoid the old RX 7000 series; you'll miss out on FSR4. Either go for the RX 5070 Ti or the 9070 XT for better future-proofing. If you're open to lower-tier options, the 9060 XT 16GB is worth considering too.
If the RX 5070 Ti is around the same price as the 9070 XT, I'd go for that. However, if the 5070 Ti is much higher (like $100 more), then stick with the 9070 XT. Generally, the 9070 XT offers better value.
I agree! Unless there's a huge price gap, the 9070 XT is probably the better investment for the performance boost.
