Hey everyone! I'm in a bit of a pickle trying to decide between two graphics cards: the Sapphire Pure 9070 XT for 770 euros and the 5070 Ti priced at 1050 euros. My main concern is how they would fit into my overall build, which would come out to 2175 euros if I go with the 9070 XT (including a 9800x3d and a nice all-white theme) or 2400 euros with the 5070 Ti (which would have a black theme). I'm not sure if the extra cost for the 5070 Ti is justified, especially since it seems to have a premium for white components. Also, I noticed there's a Gainward Phoenix 5070 Ti V1 available, but I'm unsure about what the V1 means—could it be related to VRAM or something else? Any advice would be appreciated!

Honestly, the price difference is pretty hefty for what you get. The 5070 Ti might have around 7% better raster performance, but if you're not super into ray tracing, the 9070 XT definitely offers better value for the money.
It really depends on what you plan to use it for. If ray tracing isn't your thing, stick with the 9070 XT. But if you want to dabble in ray tracing and DLSS, then the 5070 Ti might be worth considering.
If we're talking straight-up gaming, the 9070 XT is the better pick. The performance-to-price ratio just doesn't justify the extra cost of the 5070 Ti.
I get that ray tracing is becoming more common, but I still think it might not be worth the extra cash unless you're all in on that.
