I'm looking for advice on whether to go for the 5070 TI or the 9070 XT for my PC upgrade. My current setup includes a B550 DS3H motherboard, Ryzen 7 5700X CPU, 32 GB DDR4 RAM, and a 4060 OC GPU. I initially planned to buy the 5070 TI for €869, but I found that the 9070 XT is available for €679 and has similar performance. Given that I'm playing games like The Finals, Arc Raiders, and Minecraft with shaders on a 1440p monitor aiming for 180Hz, is the extra €190 for the 5070 TI worth it? Here's what my upgraded PC would look like: HAVN HS 420 case, Phanteks D30 fans, 360mm AIO cooler, GIGABYTE X870 AORUS STEALTH ICE motherboard, Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, and of course, either the 5070 TI or 9070 XT.

I would lean toward the 9070 XT, especially with that price difference. Most of the games you're playing tend to favor Nvidia, but the 9070 XT still offers solid performance for less money. Plus, you could save some cash by selecting less expensive parts for the rest of your build.
The 5070 TI is known for its reliability and has better support for DLSS, which could come in handy for the games you mentioned. If you're willing to spend the extra cash, you likely won't regret it!
Yeah, that's exactly why I'm torn! The support for features and frame generation does make the 5070 TI tempting.
True, but I’m looking at the 5070 TI for future-proofing and better support. I'm not so worried about saving on other components.
