I'm comparing the 9070 XT priced at $729.99 and the 5070 Ti at $999.99. Given the current market and their features, is it really worth spending the extra on the 5070 Ti, especially considering AMD's perceived shortcomings? I'm mostly focused on gaming right now, with little need for productivity-related features.

For gaming, just grab the 9070 XT. Unless you're specifically needing Nvidia for CUDA, AMD offers better value here. The 5070 Ti might be technically better, but is it worth the price difference?
Honestly, the 5070 Ti is about 40% more expensive, so unless you have specific productivity needs, the 9070 XT is the better bang for your buck. For gaming, you'll likely be just fine with the 9070 XT. Just make sure to consider what games you're playing—some might benefit from the 5070 Ti's capabilities!
I don't need it for productivity, just gaming. Features are my main focus.
What about playing games on Unreal Engine 5?
I helped a friend build a PC, and we decided on AMD to save some money. The performance difference isn’t huge outside of ray tracing. If you can save some cash, I'd go with the 9070 XT.
I flipped between a few cards recently and justified the 9070 XT mainly for the AM5 build compatibility and features like frame generation!
Ray tracing can be frustrating since it's starting to take over. Not every game is optimized for it.
I upgraded to the 9070 XT from a 3080, and I'm loving it. I got it for around $580 before the hike in prices. Not sure if the 5070 Ti is worth the extra expense. FSR4 works well enough for me anyway.
I’ve seen videos on DLSS 4.5 and it does look impressive. It makes me want to lean toward Nvidia!
At that price gap, the 5070 Ti is hard to justify for most gamers. If you're into path tracing, it might be worth it, but many games will perform similarly on both cards.
I ordered the 9070 XT, and I'll test it out. Worst case, I can always switch to a 5070 Ti if needed.
I don't need CUDA, just thinking about overall performance. Heard some negatives about FSR4 versus Nvidia's options.
