I'm considering upgrading my PC and trying to decide between the 5070 Ti and the 9070 XT graphics cards. From what I've gathered, it seems like the 9070 XT offers better performance for the price, but I'm curious about how they compare overall in terms of graphics quality. There's a potential saving of around £200 with the 9070 XT, but I'm really interested in how they look and perform visually. Any advice on which one might be the better choice?

If ray tracing and top-notch anti-aliasing are important to you, the 5070 Ti shines here. While AMD cards are decent, they don’t quite match NVIDIA's performance in these areas.
As a current owner of the 5070 Ti, I'd say it’s only worth getting over the 9070 XT if the price difference is less than $100. For me, it was on sale compared to the AMD option, which is why I went with it.
If you're purely focused on gaming, go with the AMD card. However, if you also need features for CUDA acceleration or you plan on using applications that benefit from the NVIDIA RT cores, then the 5070 Ti might be better.
Honestly, for that price, I’d recommend the 9070 XT. Considering your post, I think you might be new to PC gaming, and the performance difference is slight enough that you probably wouldn't notice it much.
You might want to focus on your monitor's capabilities; the 5070 Ti and 9070 XT are pretty close in actual performance. That said, the added £200 is really for NVIDIA's features like DLSS and slightly better ray tracing. Most gamers might not find that worth the extra cash.
