I'm considering buying a GPU during Black Friday and saw the RX 9070 non-XT priced at €565 (the Sapphire version). I also found the RX 9070 XT for €599. However, my current C-tier 650W PSU isn't enough for the XT, so I'd need to upgrade to the MSI MAG A750GL for an additional €79. Is the RX 9070 XT really worth the extra €113 compared to the non-XT version?

Since you need a new PSU anyway, I say go for the RX 9070 XT for just an extra €30. The upgrade is worth it!
The RX 9070 non-XT is a solid card! I'm using mine for 4K gaming at 1440p with ultra settings, and it runs great at 120Hz. I got it for $500 and it’s been awesome in terms of performance and power efficiency. If you’re looking to game at higher settings, it's a good choice.
I heard some people run the RX 9070 with less than a 650W PSU. Is mine really safe with a C-tier 650W?
