I just got myself a 3440x1440 240Hz monitor and am planning to upgrade my PC to match its capabilities. My current build features a 7700k CPU paired with a 2080ti GPU. I'm considering upgrading to a 9800x3d for the CPU, but I'm torn between the 9070 (priced at $770 CAD) and the 9070XT (priced at $870 CAD). Is the extra $100 CAD (around $70 USD) justified for the 9070XT, or should I save some money and stick with the 9070?

If your budget allows, 9070XT is the way to go! You’ll see a notable increase in frames per second, especially at your resolution. Cutting corners on the GPU usually isn’t a good idea at this price range.
Definitely go for the 9070XT! It's a solid upgrade and will give you better performance.
The 9070XT is worth the extra cash; you’ll notice a real difference in gaming performance, especially at higher resolutions like yours.

Exactly! Saving on the GPU might hurt your performance more than you think.
