Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading from my current GTX 1060 (6GB) paired with a Ryzen 9800X3D. I found the Gigabyte Windforce SFF 5070 Ti for 1750, which is pretty close to the 9070 XT priced at 1650. I've also noticed that the next cheapest 5070 Ti model goes for 2200. Given that prices are on the rise, should I take the plunge and buy this GPU now? Is it a reliable option? Oh, and I'm planning to get a 4K monitor as well!

Dude, last year I upgraded from a 1080 Ti to the Gigabyte Windforce SFF 5070 Ti and it was such a steal! I love that it's non-RGB and even has an anti-sag bracket, which is a nice touch.
Seriously, just get it! You won't regret it!
I've been using the 5070 Ti since it launched and it's been solid for me! It's pretty quiet and I haven't noticed any annoying coil whine. If the prices are around the same for you, I’d say go for the 5070 Ti!
9070 XT might be a contender.
These cards are quite good and even come with a dual BIOS. Cooling isn’t top-notch, but it won’t run too hot regardless. You can OC and undervolt for about a 10% performance boost on the 50xx series. While the 9070 XT runs hot out of the box, the standard 9070 comes with more relaxed settings and can be pushed better without sacrificing reliability.
You're considering 100 less than the 5070 Ti? That doesn't seem like enough of a discount to me.
