I'm in the process of building a new PC primarily for gaming and game development, especially with tools like Blender and game engines such as Unreal and Source. I'm looking for a GPU upgrade from my current GTX 1070. I'm not too impressed with the latest generation options and want to avoid the models like the 5060 and 5090 due to budget constraints. My budget for the upgrade is around $1200 to $1400. Also, I'm curious whether I should stick with Nvidia or consider AMD for game development applications, as I want to make sure I'm making a good investment in the long run.

If you're looking for a solid upgrade, the 5070 Ti is a great choice. It has better support for various applications, especially in game dev, and fits neatly within your budget range. Go for that one if you want something reliable!
You might want to consider the 5080 as it provides excellent performance for the price. AMD's offerings aren't quite up to par this generation, especially for your needs. Nvidia definitely has the edge here.
Exactly! If you're serious about making money off this PC, investing in a good Nvidia card will be worth it.
Totally agree! The 5070 Ti also handles game development tasks well without breaking the bank.
