Yeah I ended coughing up the extra dough for the 5070 Ti mainly because of significantly better RT performance and DLSS. And at the time the Ti was only ~$150 more. I only regret giving nvidia more money. The card itself has been amazing.
I also wish nvidia had a real competitor at the top end. We used to have a bunch of gfx companies competing with each other. Now if you want a top card you have to pay nvidia thousands of dollars.
The 9070 XT is a decent premium range card but I’d only go for it if I had a strict budget or if I was gaming on Linux.



I thought that was only in certain games? I did a lot of research when I upgraded in Jan. 2025 and landed on the Ti because it still outperformed the XT in ray tracing by about 25%. The XT was better in raster but not by a lot.
I will say the nvidia app is really buggy compared to the AMD app. When I had my AMD 7000 series, the recording feature and FPS counter worked just fine. Meanwhile, the nvidia replay and fps counter are completely broken so I had to install 3rd party software.
RTX HDR makes the nvidia app worth it but every now and then the app turns it on globally which messes up native HDR. Crazy how many bugs I’ve found in nvidia’s software.
