I need some advice on picking a new GPU. My old 3080 just died, and I have a 12700k CPU with an 850W PSU. I run two monitors—one 1080p and one 1440p—and I play a variety of games, from MOBAs to co-op and AAA titles. I won't be playing many ray tracing games, and I mostly use my setup for gaming and some casual tasks like browsing and using an Android simulator, such as Bluestacks.
In Vietnam, the prices for the 5070 Ti, 9070 XT, and 4070 Ti are quite similar, roughly around $850-950, with the 5070 Ti priced closer to $950. Given this budget, which GPU should I go for? Also, the 4080 Super is priced around $1150 and the 5080 at $1300; should I consider saving up for one of those?

I would suggest skipping the 4080 and 5080 since they're not worth the price compared to the 5070 Ti or 9070 XT. The 4070 Ti is a solid option, but if you can get a 5070 Ti for a similar price, that's probably the better choice. If both the 5070 Ti and 9070 XT are nearly equal in cost, I'd lean towards the 5070 Ti, but if the 9070 XT is significantly cheaper, it might be the way to go.
Honestly, the 4070 Ti isn’t in the running at those price points. If the 5070 Ti is the same price as the 9070 XT, go with the 5070 Ti. If the 9070 XT is about $100-150 cheaper, it could be worth it. But the 5080 isn't a good deal; you're just paying more for a small performance bump.
Interesting to note that the lower-end 9070 XT is exactly around $100-150 cheaper than the 5070 Ti, which could make it a solid choice if you're looking to save a bit.
If you’re looking to save some cash, the 9070 XT is your best bet. It’s a nice choice if you don’t mind spending a bit more for the 5070 Ti since it performs really well. Personally, I have a 4080 Super, and while it is an upgrade, it’s not worth the hefty price tag over the 5070 Ti.
I found the SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 9070 XT GAMING OC for around $800, and the higher-end models are about $915, which is pretty much the same as the low to mid-range 5070 Ti.
