I'm looking to upgrade my setup and need advice on choosing between the RX 7900 XT and the RX 9070 XT for my Ryzen 7 5700X. I play a mix of AAA titles like Cyberpunk, RDR2, and The Last of Us, as well as esports games like Valorant and Warzone. I also do some small AI/ML projects, so I'm considering cards with 12-16 GB of VRAM. The pricing is around $765 for the RX 7900 XT and $882 for the RX 9070 XT (both prices converted to USD). Is it worth spending the extra cash for the 9070?

I'd go with the RX 9070 XT for better performance overall, especially if you care about ray tracing. It might be pricier, but you’ll get a noticeable boost in both gaming and your AI/ML tasks. If you can stretch your budget a bit, it's likely worth it in the long run!
Is spending an extra $117 really worth it though? I'm on a tight budget!
