I'm considering buying a graphics card and I've got my eyes on two models: the 9070 priced at 290BHD (about 770USD) and the 9070 XT for 335BHD (around 890USD). I'm wondering if it's worth paying the extra cash for the XT model or if I should just stick with the standard 9070. Any advice?

Honestly, the 9070 XT is definitely the better pick. Especially considering pricing in other GCC countries, you're getting a great deal in Bahrain. Just make sure to check which store you're buying from—I’m curious for my own searches too!
If you can swing the extra cash for the 9070 XT, I’d say go for it! The performance boost is pretty noticeable. I even saw some deals online where you can get it around 305BHD, which is a pretty good price given that the 335BHD ones are usually higher-end models like the XFX Mag Air Mercury.
If you can afford it, why not upgrade to a better card? It might give you better performance in the long run.
Just a heads up, not all 9070 XTs can handle undervolting or lower power draws well. If you’re worried about consuming too much power, sticking with the regular 9070 might be a safer bet.
Haha, sounds like you’ve got stocks in Nvidia based on that advice!
