I'm in the market for a new graphics card and have narrowed it down to a few options: the RTX 5070 Ti priced at $1,020, the RX 7900 XTX at $1,015, the RTX 3090 at $1,014, and the RX 9070 XT at $965. My current setup includes a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 32 GB of RAM, and I don't have any concerns about my power supply. Given these choices, which card do you think is the best value for my configuration?

If you can find a used 3090 for around $500, that would be the real steal! But good luck finding one at that price nowadays. Just remember, if you're spending money on these cards, think about future needs, particularly VRAM for upcoming games.
Both the 9070 XT and the 5070 Ti are solid options. I went with the 9070 XT a while back, and while it was a good buy at a lower price, now that it’s nearly the same as the 5070 Ti, I’d recommend Nvidia unless you’re a die-hard AMD fan.
It all comes down to what you’ll be using your PC for. If it's gaming with ray tracing or streaming, go with the 5070 Ti. However, if you’re into pure rasterization and aren’t fussed about those features, the 9070 XT might do the job for you. Just keep in mind the driver support with AMD isn't as consistent as Nvidia's.
Honestly, all the listed prices seem on the high side. But for the performance-to-cost ratio, if you can get the 5070 Ti even a little cheaper, it’s a no-brainer! Trust me, you’ll be happy with that choice.
Definitely go for the 5070 Ti! It offers better performance and features compared to the others in that price range. Plus, Nvidia’s driver support has improved a lot recently, so you’ll likely have fewer issues.
Totally agree! I've been using my 5070 Ti for VR gaming and it's just amazing, stable performance all around.
Right! It’s all about your priorities. I went for the 5070 Ti for its strong performance in a lot of games.
