I'm contemplating whether it's worth it to pay $250 CAD more for the 7900 XTX instead of the 5070, which is priced at $750 CAD. Is the extra performance and features of the 7900 XTX worth the additional cost?

The 5070 at $750 CAD is just average MSRP. The 9070 XT offers similar performance to the 7900 XTX and can often be found for under $900 CAD. The key difference is the VRAM; while the 7900 XTX has 24GB, the 9070 XT has 16GB, which isn't always necessary depending on your gaming needs. Interestingly, you might even snag a 5070 Ti for a bit over $1000 CAD if you're lucky.
I'm seeing a 9070 XT for about $900, which offers decent performance at a lower cost. It's about 12% slower than the 7900 XTX but has better ray tracing capabilities, plus FSR 4 support. Given that the 7900 XTX has more VRAM, it might be a while before that matters in gaming.
Yes, it's definitely worth it! The 7900 XTX comes with double the VRAM and will handle 4K gaming like a champ. Plus, if you can find a 9070 XT, it's worth considering as well.
Absolutely go for the 7900 XTX! You'll be set to play just about any game in 4K without issues.
You might want to check out the pricing! The 5070 Ti is around $1089 CAD, or look into the 9070 XT for less. Location can affect availability, though. Where are you located in Canada?
