I'm in the market for a new graphics card and I'm trying to decide between the RTX 5070 and the RX 9070 XT. The price is about the same for both options. I'm looking at the MSI Gaming X Trio for the RTX 5070 and considering either the Gigabyte or ASUS versions for the RX 9070 XT.
I usually play games like CS2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Far Cry at a 3440x1440p resolution, so I need something that can handle that and is also somewhat future-proof. I would like the capability to use Ray Tracing occasionally, and I'm thinking about streaming down the line. Just a heads-up, prices in Poland are a bit steep right now—the RTX 5070 goes for around $750 and the RX 9070 XT is about $827.

Definitely go for the RX 9070 XT! It's more powerful in almost every aspect when compared to the RTX 5070. You're really going to appreciate those extra frames, especially at higher resolutions.
For gaming, the 9070 XT is a clear winner, but keep in mind if you are into productivity or content creation, NVIDIA’s features might still have the edge.
I’d say the RX 9070 XT is just superior around all corners. It’s a great card for gaming and it competes closely with the 5070 Ti. You won't regret going with AMD this time!
No contest! The 9070 XT beats the 5070 Ti in performance, plus it has 16GB of VRAM compared to the 5070’s 12GB. It’s a solid investment for future gaming.
True, NVIDIA has that killer DLSS and Frame Generation that can be super handy, especially for streaming.
