I'm currently considering buying a 5070 Ti, but I've noticed that AMD GPUs seem to be cheaper and have comparable specs. I'm curious about the difference between the two brands, especially concerning features and why NVIDIA often commands a higher price. I should mention that I'm not into ray tracing and don't do any video editing, so any insights on that would be helpful!

Honestly, if you’re just gaming and don’t care about ray tracing, the 9070 XT is a much better value for the price. NVIDIA is great for productivity and certain software requirements, but for pure gaming performance, especially at a lower cost, you can’t go wrong with AMD right now.
When comparing the performance of cards like the 5070 Ti and 9070 XT, one major difference comes down to NVIDIA's DLSS technology versus AMD's FSR. NVIDIA's upscaling technology tends to perform better, particularly when it comes to frame generation and smoothness. Their video encoder is also superior, which is a big plus for streamers and content creators, though it may not matter for casual users. Additionally, some games run much better on one brand due to optimizations, like 'Black Myth: Wukong.' Though ray tracing used to be a huge differentiator, it's become less significant lately, but NVIDIA still holds a slight edge there. For Linux users, AMD typically performs better too!
Yeah, I agree! I don’t need all the bells and whistles from NVIDIA, so I'm leaning towards an AMD card.
