I've been playing a lot of games that utilize ray tracing and upscaling, but I've run into issues with visual bugs when using optiscaler in games that lack native support for FSR4. I'm considering swapping my 9070XT for a 5070Ti, which would cost me around £50-100. Is this upgrade worth it for improved ray tracing and upscaling capabilities?

The 5070Ti is typically about 5-7% faster than the 9070XT in most scenarios. If you can grab it for £50, that could be a decent deal since you'd get better upscaling and improved ray tracing. Just weigh that £50 against the performance boost before deciding.
£50 is a no-brainer for the upgrade. But if it's heading towards £100, I’d have to think twice about it.
If ray tracing was your goal from the start, then yes, the 5070Ti would have made more sense for you. If you're unhappy with your current performance and have the means to switch GPUs, going for an upgrade could make you happier with your setup.
Honestly, it depends on your priorities. If you're looking to dive into path tracing and you want to use DLSS4 which works better on the 5070Ti, then it could be worth it. However, if your swap is going to cost a lot, consider whether it's really necessary. Jumping to a 5080 might give you even better results if ray tracing is super important, but they’re quite pricey.
If the cost isn't too high, it might be a solid move. Just remember you’re going to lose some value due to tax when you sell the 9070XT, and buying new will also come with taxes. It could be a bigger financial hit than you think.
