I'm considering selling my 6950 XT for $500 and getting the RTX 5070 for $725. Does anyone think this is a good upgrade, considering the cost and performance differences?

Honestly, I'd say it's not worth the upgrade. You're paying a lot for a very small performance gain—much better to stick with the 6950 XT unless you're really struggling with your current games.
The RTX 5070 is around $550 and offers about a 10% performance increase over the 6950 XT, but it actually has less VRAM. Sounds like it might not be worth it for the price.
You'd be better off keeping the 6950 XT unless you're facing issues playing your favorite games. The upgrade seems minor for the price hike, especially with how the 5070's VRAM compares.
Yeah, I haven't had any major issues, that's why I'm torn!
