I'm looking to upgrade my GPU, and I need some advice. My setup includes a 750W power supply, 32GB of DDR4 3200 RAM, and an AMD Ryzen 5800X3D processor. I'm specifically interested in gaming performance for CS2. I've had a bad experience with an Intel B580, so I'm leaning towards AMD this time. Between the 9070XT and the 5070, which one would you recommend?

Honestly, the 9070XT competes really well against the 5070TI and is noticeably faster than the 5070. For CS2, you’ll want the 9070XT without a doubt!
After switching from the 5070TI to the 9070XT, I can say it's a significant upgrade. The performance boost in gaming is impressive.
For pure performance, go with the 9070XT. However, if you're into DLSS upscaling and want smoother performance in AAA games, the 5070 might offer some benefits worth considering.
The 9070XT is clearly the better card overall. If you're looking for high performance, it's definitely the way to go.
If it was a matchup against the 5070TI, it might be a tougher choice, but between the 9070XT and the plain 5070, there's no contest—the 9070XT wins hands down.
I get that, but I've seen comparisons showing the 5070 getting about 40 more FPS than the 9070XT in some instances. I only play CS2, so that might be worth considering.
