Hey everyone! I recently snagged two graphics cards at MSRP and I'm trying to decide between them. I've got an Asus Prime 5070 Ti for 890 euros and a Sapphire Pure 9070 XT for 770 euros. The price difference is about 15%, and I'm mostly into solo and co-op games, with a bit of FF14 and WoW (but I know AMD has had issues with those games). I also dabble with a local LLM for setting up D&D stories, but no heavy editing. I've heard Nvidia has some driver problems, but not sure how widespread that is since we only hear the complaints. On the flip side, AMD's drivers seem decent, yet FSR4 support isn't great, and working with optiscalers can be a hassle. I'm really torn on which card to keep. Any advice? Thanks!

If the budget isn't a big deal, I'd stick with the 5070 Ti for sure!
I'd go for the 5070 Ti. I own one and haven’t had any issues, plus while the 9070 XT is solid, a $120 difference just makes the 5070 Ti a better choice overall. If the price gap were higher, like $200, then the 9070 XT would start to look more appealing.
I just switched to a 9070 XT after being an Nvidia user all my life, and honestly, I’m loving it! I even spotted a 5070 Ti in black (which is tempting since my setup is all white), but the hassle of swapping isn’t worth it. The performance difference feels minimal to me, so I'm content sticking with the 9070 XT.
At MSRP, I'd totally take the 9070 XT. I got mine on launch day for $150 less in the US, and I’ve been super pleased with it!
