Hey everyone! I'm new to PC building and I'm focusing on creating a setup for my work as a game designer, especially with Unreal Engine 5. I'm trying to find the best GPU that offers a good balance of performance for the price, around $920. I'm considering a couple of options: the ASUS TUF RTX 5070 Ti OC Edition and the Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC, both at a similar price point. Alternatively, would it be worth spending an extra $200 to upgrade to something like the ASUS Strix 5070 Ti or the MSI Gaming Trio 5070 Ti? Unfortunately, I can't stretch my budget for the 5080 series. I really appreciate any advice you can give!

All 5070 Ti models will generally perform quite similarly, so either choice is solid. The differences might just come down to aesthetics or some minor features that won't impact your gaming much.
Both the TUF and Gaming Trio are excellent options. They run quietly and keep cool, but it can be hard to justify spending extra when the base models perform well too. I personally use a base ZOTAC, and it serves me just fine, though I've seen mixed reviews about its durability.
If you're tight on budget, just grab the cheapest RTX 5070 Ti. It should handle most tasks just fine without needing to invest in the more expensive models.
I run a 9900X with a 9070 XT and it's a fantastic combo! However, be careful with the 970 XT; there have been reports of frame drops at higher settings. Plus, going AMD could save you around $150, but make sure it meets your performance needs.
