Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building my new PC and I'm trying to decide between two graphics cards: the PNY OC GeForce RTX 5070 with 12 GB of VRAM and the Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9070 that comes with 16 GB of VRAM. Here's my current build:
**CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 3.9 GHz 6-Core
**Motherboard:** Gigabyte B850 GAMING X WIFI6E ATX
**Memory:** Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB DDR5-6000
**Storage:** Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2 TB NVMe SSD
**PSU:** Corsair RM750e 750 W Fully Modular
The total cost for the build with the RTX 5070 is about $1437.87, while swapping it out for the Radeon RX 9070 would make it around $1487.87. I want to get the card that provides the best performance for gaming in the long run. Any thoughts?

I’d suggest going for the RX 9070 if you're not against spending a little extra. It's got better VRAM, which can help in future-proofing your setup. Plus, if you're into AMD stuff, the performance at that price is quite solid!
Yeah, but the RX 9070 is a bit pricier. Do you think it's worth the extra $130?
