I recently built a system with a 7800X3D and got a refurbished 7800XT for $655, but unfortunately, it arrived broken. They're out of stock now, so I was offered a replacement 7800XT for $735. That price is getting close to the 7900XT or the 9070XT, and I'm debating whether I should just spend a little more for one of those options instead. I'd like to keep the total under $950 and I need at least 16 GB of RAM, so that rules out the 5070. Anyone have thoughts on which card offers better value?

Honestly, if you're looking at only a slight price difference between the 7800XT and a 9070XT, I'd recommend going for the 9070XT. It typically offers better performance and may future-proof your build more effectively. Plus, if you can keep it under $950, that sounds like a solid plan! Just make sure the specs align with your other components, especially that RAM you mentioned.
That makes sense! Spending a bit more for better performance seems like the right call. What games are you looking to run?
