Which GPU Should I Choose for CS2 and Video Editing: 9070 XT or 5070 TI?
Asked by

I'm planning to game mainly on CS2 while also doing a lot of video editing with Premiere Pro. I have an AMD 9600X processor, so I'm aware that CS2 is very CPU-intensive. However, I'm curious which graphics card would be a better fit for my needs: the 9070 XT or the 5070 TI? I'll be gaming at competitive settings on a 240Hz monitor at 1080p. Any insights?

Generally, AMD GPUs seem to struggle a bit in CS2, so you might not get the best gaming experience with the 9070 XT. If you're mainly into CS2, the 5070 TI is your better bet.

For editing in Premiere Pro, the 5070 TI is the superior choice. While gaming, the two cards are pretty close, but you might want more CPU cores for productivity tasks anyway.

I would definitely go with the 5070 TI. It's an overall better card and worth the extra investment, especially for video editing. Plus, CS2 benchmarks show it performing about 10% better at 1080p compared to the 9070 XT.
GamerDude32: That's true, but if you manage to find the 9070 XT at a reasonable price, it could still work. Both cards are more than capable for CS2.
