Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade from my current AMD Ryzen 3400G with Radeon Vega graphics and need some advice. I'm deciding between the Radeon 7900 XT, which costs €686.99, and the 9070 XT at €756.99. I'm planning to play games like Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5 and 6, Arma 3 and Reforger, Garry's Mod, Roblox, Men of War Assault Squad 2 (with mods), Stalker Anomaly, Minecraft, Fortnite, and Call of Duty. Eventually, I plan to get a 4K TV, but not right away. Here are my specs for when I get my new GPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU, 16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4-3200 RAM, 4TB Samsung 990 Pro NVME SSD, an 850W MSI MAG A850GL power supply, and an MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard. Is the 16GB of the 9070 XT enough? Is ray tracing really as beautiful as they say, or should I opt for the 20GB of the 7900 XT instead?

I completely agree with TechWhiz88. The 9070 XT is a solid choice, especially since it also supports FSR4 upscaling, which will keep your games looking great for longer. Given the small price difference, the performance you gain with the 9070 XT makes it the smarter option!
I'd recommend going for the 9070 XT. It's about 10% faster in raster performance and also has better ray tracing and upscaling features. Plus, the price difference isn't too big when you consider the performance. The extra 4GB of VRAM on the 7900 XT isn't a dealbreaker for most games, so you’ll get better value with the 9070 XT.
