RX 9070 XT to 5070?
Posted by Responsible_Monk9208@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 21 comments
Hi everyone, a couple of months ago I built a PC with an RTX 9070 XT, but after reading numerous comments and based on my own experience, I’m thinking about selling it and buying an RTX 5070.
Some games feel laggy, the graphics seem not that sharp and blurry. Nvidia features feel better and the ecosystem safer, so I don’t really know what to do.
If it matters, here are my specs:
RX 9070 XT
R7 9700X
32GB DDR5
1440p Display

Seems like there's an issue somewhere with the pc. You should try to diagnose and fix it rather than just downgrade the gpu especially when the issue could be unrelated to the gpu. Provide more details and people will be able to help

Can you give example of the lagging game. Like what fps do you get?
Own-Indication5620@reddit
Yes it’s worth it u will use DLSS a lot more than the 9070 XT increased “raw performance”.

That is not a card issue then. The 9070XT is without a doubt better than the 5070. If you are having laggy fps spikes then it is not coming from the GPU. Also picture not being sharp and blurry could be issues with your monitor and not GPU. I bought a 9070XT a few months ago, along a 1440p OLED monitor. Everything runs on max setting with zero frame drops and nothing blurry. Going backwards to a 5070 will not fix the issues you have.

Thats LESS performance and LESS memory..
VersaceUpholstery@reddit
You want to downgrade completely? Less performance less vram?
“Laggy” has nothing to do with Nvidia vs AMD
If the graphics seem not sharp and blurry… adjust them?

I'm gonna bet that your monitor is plugged to the igpu on the motherboard not the GPU.
Responsible_Monk9208@reddit (OP)
it’s definitely not
Pumciusz@reddit
If the games are laggy, then it's either the fault of an unoptimized game, it's user error, or your expectation is too high in terms of running path tracing and other stuff. A chance of faulty hardware too. As it's tied with 5070ti, it's a 3rd fastest GPU this generation, top 10 overall excluding A/H cards.

DOWNGRADE
Nstorm24@reddit
As a 5070 user i dont see your point in changing from a better card to the 5070.
Minimum_Passage_240@reddit
Nvidia is always the better choice. Sell the 9079 and get the 5070. I hope you at least learned your lesson and you will never fall for amd propaganda again. Only bots on reddit and paid youtubers recommend amd gpus. There is a reason why amd gpu marketshare is at 4% and why nvidia has 95% share.
StunningPush8421@reddit
exactly what I just did.
Although I don't thing any of these issues are due to the 9070 xt.
Yes fsr 4.1 is worse than dlss but it isn't that bad so it shouldn't look blurry unless you are using the performance preset.

Have you tried adding Radeon Image Sharpening at 30-40%? Maybe 70% if you like NV over sharpening, Radeon features are ment to be used in combination with each other... You should at least use AI AMD chat if you don't know where to start...
You are complaining about it being too soft but you aren't applying any sharpening... I rather be able to control how sharp it is myself than NV over happening imo, you want 70% RIS2, I prefer softer 30% maybe 40% to see enemies clearer but going to 80% which is what NV does is just too much.

I understand the posts of people switching from a 9070 xt to the 5070ti if they find a great deal or something..
I do not understand switching from a 9070 xt to a 5070..
cha0ss0ldier@reddit
A 9070xt smokes a 5070.
The only way a you will make your games look blurry is if you have some bad settings turned on or something. The native image from a 9070xt and a 5070 will look the same, the 9070xt will just get more frames.
ImProdactyl@reddit
It would be a downgrade
thefastslow@reddit
What games?
RAM specs?
gibbarish@reddit
Zero issues with my 9070xt coming from Nvidia 2070super. There's no way I would downgrade myself
my5cworth@reddit
Unless your specific card is faulty, the problem isn't that model of GPU and a 5070 would be a downgrade.
No_Spare1827@reddit
well the 9070XT is undoubtedly better than a 5070 so I have to ask what specifically are u seeing as blurry? is this with FSR on or just native?
