I'm trying to figure out which GPU to purchase and it's between the RX 9070 XT, 5070, and 5070 Ti. In my country, Sweden, the prices can vary significantly compared to other places, so I'm wondering if it's worth spending the extra money on the more expensive models. I've heard that NVIDIA cards generally perform better with ray tracing and other features, but I'm not sure if those advantages justify a price difference of around $200. I've considered getting the 5070, despite the criticism it gets for having 12GB of VRAM. Here's what I found in prices for each model:
- **5070**: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 VENTUS 2X OC, 12GB (dual fan) - 6339 SEK (648 USD)
- **5070 Ti**: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti VENTUS 3X OC PLUS, 16GB (triple fan) - 9698 SEK (992 USD)
- **RX 9070 XT**: Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC, 16GB (triple fan) - 7924 SEK (810 USD)
I'm currently using a 2070 and would appreciate a simplified explanation, as I'm not super tech-savvy. Also, I made a previous post mistakenly looking for 4070 instead of 5070. Thanks in advance!

I’d recommend going for the RTX 5070 Ti. It offers solid performance and features. However, if you want to save a bit, the RTX 5070 is still a really decent choice.
If you're able to hold off, the new super series from NVIDIA might come out soon, which could lower the price of the current 5070 models. Worth waiting for if you can!
Branding doesn't matter much in this case. The 9070 XT and 5070 Ti are both skillfully better than the 5070. You didn’t mention what games you play though, that could help narrow it down further.
I mainly play games like CS2, WoW, Rocket League, Elden Ring, and single-player games like AC Valhalla. I just want something that can run those smoothly at 240fps+ on 1440p.
I'm a bit confused by benchmarks too. It seems like the 5070 outperforms the RX 9070 XT according to some stats, but the 9070 has more VRAM.
Oh really? Any idea on the release date for those?
