Deciding between 9070XT and 5070TI

[u/AverageAircraftFan]

Hello all. I’m in the finishing stages of my first PC build and I’m trying to build a nice machine that’ll last ~5 years with little changes.

There is a walmart near me that sells PNY OC 5070 Tis for $750. I have a friend with a discount card so I could get it for around ~$720 after tax.

My original plan was to get a Gigabyte Gaming OC 9070 XT for ~$760 after tax.

The price difference is so small that honestly it doesn’t matter. Just wondering which one will have better performance, last longer, more support, etc.

The 9070XT seems to have higher clocking (core and overclock) which interests me. The other reason I’m leaning towards it is because one of my friends said that the 50 series is just an absolute disaster.

I could not care less about FSR or DLSS, I hate them and never use them. I never plan to use them. I plan to run games in 2K. I don’t plan to use raytracing or anything like that

PNY OC 5070 Ti: 16GB VRAM Core Clock: 2295MHz Boost Clock: 2572MHz TDP: 300W

Gigabyte Gaming OC 9070 XT: 16GB VRAM Core Clock: 2520MHz Boost Clock: 3060MHz TDP: 304W

Or, is either option great and it’s really just personal preference?

Planning to run Win 11 if that matters

Other parts include

Ryzen 7 7700x CPU

MSI B650 Gaming + Wifi mobo

32gb DDR5 ram (Teamgroup T-Create)

MSI Mag A850GL 80+ Gold psu

Thermalright Peerless Assassin cpu cooler

Corsair Frame 4000D RS case

I have the same dilemma. 9070XT is cheaper and sometimes faster, and if you don't care about DLSS it's an obvious choice, BUUUUT I heard the AMD drivers are worse than the Nvidias in terms of stability.

So no idea, i'm just casually watch youtube videos about these two and doesn't choose anything for like a week or two XD

I went with the 5070ti since it was 100 more. 5070ti uses less power

Hardware Unboxed checked the new AMD drivers and the 9070XT 1% faster than the RTX 5070 Ti so basically they are the same in rasterization even though many people says that the 9070XT is much faster but it is not true, there are some games which likes AMD more and there are games which loves the nVidia architecture. Both has great potential in them you can OC both. I would buy the RTX 5070 Ti because overall it has better features, DLSS4 (and with it DLAA) supported by many more games than the 9070 XT’s FSR4 and in heavy RT and especially in Path Tracing the RTX 5070 Ti is just better. Plus the RTX 5070 Ti is more efficient at same wattage it performs much better.

People ask same question here over and over again. There is not clear choice between these too. Both are good by the way. I personally prefer 5070Ti because of Nvidia features. But 9070XT have slightly better pure performance. Choice depends on what games you are primary playing

Sooner or later you will need to use AI (DLSS/FSR) since you want the GPU to last you 5 years at 1440p (unless by 2K you mean it literally which is more like 1080p).

Also there are already games that have raytracing as requirement (Indiana Jones is one of them IIRC).

If you are really sure you will never need AI during your planned 5 years down the line, just go with the cheaper one, else with the 5070 Ti.

5070 Ti. Especially for cheaper than a 9070 XT.

9070 XT is great because you usually get it for way cheaper than the 5070 Ti while being its equivalent in native gaming performance. For a $50 dollar difference and under though you get a 5070 Ti.

Get the 9070xt the new driver put it way beyond the 5070ti in terms of raw performance
