I'm considering buying a new GPU and have a choice between the ASUS PRIME 5070 for $499 or the XFX Mercury 9070 XT for $540. There's a big sale ongoing in my country, and I previously looked at the 7900 XT, but it's still at $580, which seems a bit steep. I would love to hear your thoughts on which one is the better buy.

The 9070 XT is the better choice unless you're referring to the non-XT version. Just to clarify, are you sure it's the XT model for that price?
I would be surprised if they were selling the XT at that price.
I'd recommend the 9070 XT if you're planning to mainly game. The performance difference in rasterization is significant, and the NVIDIA 5000 series is facing some driver issues at the moment.
Without a doubt, get the 9070 XT. It's a solid choice!
If it's just $40 more, you should definitely go for the 9070 XT! It offers a much better performance for gaming.
Definitely the 9070 XT! It's comparable to a 5070 Ti, making it a great deal.
Yes, I can confirm it is the XT version!
