Hey everyone, my 6900XT just died on me, so I'm on the hunt for a new GPU. The 9070XT immediately came to mind, but I'm wondering if there are better choices out there. For context, my current setup includes an i5-13600K CPU, a TUF Gaming H670-Pro motherboard, and an 850W power supply. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!

The 9070XT is definitely a solid choice with your specs! Just a heads up, if you're planning to upgrade your CPU later, that could open up even more options in the future. But for now, the 9070XT should work really well for you!
Are you set on AMD? If you're into ray tracing or DLSS, NVIDIA's 5080 and 5090 might perform better. But if those features aren't a huge deal, the 9070XT is a great pick since it usually beats the 5070 in performance. Just a heads up, the price difference is significant—$600 for the 5070 and around $700-800 for the 9070. If you're looking for top-tier performance, go for the 5080/90 if your budget allows, but the 9070XT is best for an all-around experience.
Thanks for the info! I think I’ll go with the 9070XT, especially since the 5080/90 is way out of my budget right now!
Yeah, I’m actually thinking of upgrading the whole rig next year, so the timing of the GPU dying is a bit of a bummer.
