I'm heading to Microcenter this weekend and I can't decide between the RTX 5070 and the RX 9070. I mainly game at 1440p, and I'm curious whether it's worth paying a little extra for the RX 9070, especially since it has 4GB more VRAM. My setup includes a Ryzen 7 7700x CPU, 32GB of RAM, and an 850w PSU. What do you guys think?

Honestly, I’d go for the RX 9070. It's more powerful and comes with extra VRAM, which is great for future-proofing your gaming at 1440p.
Definitely the RX 9070! It’s usually just about $60 more, and that extra performance is worth it for 1440p gaming. The additional VRAM will help with more demanding games down the line.
If you're okay with spending a bit more, the 9070 is the way to go. Both are solid choices for 1440p, but the 9070 gives you more bang for your buck, especially at higher settings!
That's good to know! I’m leaning towards that option now, thanks!
