I'm in Ontario, Canada, and I noticed that the MSRP for the 9070XT is around $1000 CAD. Recently, I managed to grab a 5070 OC for $700 CAD after applying a discount. Typically, a regular 5070 costs over $800 CAD at MSRP. Given these prices, would it be worth it to go for the 5070 or stick with the 9070XT?

For me, I'd take the 5070 if it's under $750 CAD; it's the best value right now compared to other cards. The 9070XT has about 20% better performance, so it should ideally be around $900 CAD to compete well against the 5070. If the prices stay as they are, the 5070 seems like a solid deal!
It's more relevant to compare the 9070XT with the 5070Ti rather than the standard 5070. Sure, the 9070XT is better, but if you're getting the 5070 for $700, it’s a decent price point. Just remember, they're in slightly different tiers of performance.
Right now, I'd say grab the 5070 if it's at that price. The 9070XT is more expensive, and while it offers higher performance, the 5070's pricing may make it a better fit for your needs, especially since it's a bit of a niche card. Depending on what else you get in the bundle, it might tip the scales to your advantage!
