I'm planning to upgrade my rig from a 3070 Founders Edition and a Ryzen 5600X. I managed to snag a 9070 XT for $730 and a 5070 Ti for $750 (excluding taxes). I'm trying to decide which one to keep and which one to return. Also, I've purchased a bundle deal that includes a 7800X3D, B650-E TUF Gaming motherboard, and Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM for $515 from Microcenter. I hope that's a good setup to pair with either of these GPUs. What do you think?

Definitely the 5070 Ti! The price difference is only $20, and while it's not worth it past a $150 difference from MSRP of the 9070 XT, for just $20 it offers better value. You made a solid choice with your setup, and it'll pair nicely with the 5070 Ti!
I'd go with the 5070 Ti. It's about 5% faster overall and even better at racing games with a 15% edge in performance. Plus, it has DLSS support which can help with frame rates. At that price difference, the 5070 Ti is definitely the way to go.
If you’re considering the 9070 XT, it might be better if you plan to use SteamOS when it becomes available. Otherwise, the 5070 Ti seems like the better option based on current performance.
I'd recommend sticking with the 5070 Ti. Your new bundle looks great for it! 👍 It should work perfectly with your setup and give you some solid performance.
What’s the advantage of the 9070 XT if I'm not using SteamOS?
