I'm putting together a new PC and planning to use a Ryzen 7 9800X3D as my CPU. My main dilemma is whether to go for the RTX 5070 Ti or the RX 9070 XT for the GPU. Which one would be the better choice?

In terms of pure performance and software advantages, the 5070 Ti might be worth paying a bit more for, especially if you're gonna use Nvidia's ecosystem. Just make sure to look at what you'll be using your PC for!
The performance difference between the two is pretty slim. If you don't need features like frame generation, just grab the cheaper option! Both are impressive cards, but your budget should guide your decision!
Check the price difference where you live. If the 5070 Ti is significantly more expensive, I'd recommend the 9070 XT. It's performing well for me, and FSR 4 is great at higher resolutions!
If you just want a card for gaming, the 9070 XT is great. But if you're planning to do more like streaming or video editing, the 5070 Ti is the way to go. It just handles those kinds of tasks better!
Thanks for the input! I mainly want to game, but I might get into streaming down the line.
How's the ray tracing on the 9070 XT? I'm curious if it's good enough!
