I'm looking to buy a graphics card and my budget is €650 (approximately $757). Prices in my area are quite high, and I want to be able to play games at 1440p. I'm considering the RTX 5070 for €660 ($770) or the RX 9070 for €630 ($735), but I'm thinking about whether it would be worth it to extend my budget to €690 ($805) for the RX 9070 XT. I need some help deciding between these three options!

I'd go for either the RX 9070 or 9070 XT instead of the RTX 5070. The 9070 is better and more affordable at those prices.
The price difference between the 9070 and the 9070 XT reflects their performance difference pretty well. Choose according to your budget. I went for the 9070 XT for more performance and longevity.
So far, are you liking the experience with the RX 9070 XT? Thanks for your help!
The RX 9070 outperforms the 5070, so if you're paying more for the 5070, it doesn’t really add up. For just €60 more, the 9070 XT offers good value too!
Thanks for the reply and the advice 🙂
The RX 9070 XT is about 10% faster on average, but it does require more power. Just keep that in mind when choosing!
Thanks! I have an 850W PSU, so I think that should be fine for the RX 9070 XT. I've seen people using it with a 650W as well.
I went with the 5070, but if I had the chance to get any RX 9070 for similar prices, I would have chosen that instead. €660 seems really high for a 5070! Where are you located? In the UK, they go for under £500 (€570). Right now, I'm seeing the Asus Tuf OC at around £488.
What website do you order your graphics cards from in the UK? I live in France and those are the best prices I found. I'm also looking for a white graphics card for aesthetics.
Thanks for the advice! Do you think the RX 9070 XT is worth the extra €60?
