I'm looking to purchase a new GPU for my build, which will be paired with an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X. I play games like Arc Raiders, Valorant, and Raft, and I'm interested in trying out some new AAA titles in the future. I don't need to play competitive multiplayer games on high settings; I'm okay with running everything on low for the most part. With my budget of £550, is there a standout GPU option between NVIDIA and Radeon, or should I consider something else that's similarly priced? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

One option slightly above your budget is the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 XT. It’s a solid choice and really does offer great performance for gaming at your price point. You can check it out [here](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/T7RnTW/xfx-swift-radeon-rx-9070-xt-16-gb-video-card-rx-97tswf3b9).
You could also consider the 5070; it fits within your budget. But keep in mind that some users suggest going for the 9070 XT instead, since they're quite similar in pricing and performance, especially because the 5070 has only 12GB.
I've heard the same thing! The 9070 XT might be a better long-term investment.
Yeah, I've been looking at the 9070 XT too! Seems like it's worth the extra money, right?
