RX 9070 XT vs RTX 5070 Ti for 1440p gaming — worth the extra €300?

Just go NVIDIA. Reddit will be full of 9070XT owners crying next year when their GPU doesn't get any new features, meanwhile NVIDIA keeps announcing new stuff for 7 years old GPUs.

PrettyQuick@reddit

lol so when is anything below 4000 series getting fg from Nvidia?

[-]

AMD has abondoned 7900XTX which is still their flagship GPU, not releasing FSR4 and publicly said RDNA3 will never get anything newer despite hardware supporting, they just don't want to bother wasting their time for older gen products.

NVIDIA has never, ever abondoned 2 years old GPUs. They are a evil corperate but so does AMD at the moment.

I side graded from 9070(RX 5700XT>6800XT>9070) to RTX 4080s and I will never purchase any radeon GPU like ever, even if they are half the price of NVIDIA.

My 3080 can only get Framegen from AMD, just accept that all those companies might throw you under the bus

[-]

PrettyQuick@reddit

But your 4080 can't do multi frame generation can it ?

[-]

Stelligena@reddit

I don't need mfg. I build a 5070ti PC in 2025 but sold it after the ram and SSD prices gone up, and built another 9070 PC for half the price.

A friend of mine offered a trade for his 4080s for my 9070 so I gladly accepted. Would not buy a brand new 5000 series at these prices. And after using 5070ti for 7 months not even once I turned on MFG, so it had zero decision.

The 5070 Ti is more of an all purpose GPU that's great outside of gaming for things like 3D modeling, AI/LLM, video editing, etc.

The 9070XT is a better choice for 1080P/1440P gaming unless you really value DLSS/RT.

[-]

iTzJME@reddit

Raytracing is great on the 9070xt, it's path tracing that you'll want an Nvidia GPU for

[-]

realWulfLives@reddit

Path tracing on the 9070xt is also good. Update your drivers.

[-]

Noeaton@reddit

That is objectively not true, I also have a 9070XT outside the fact that RE Requiem and Oragmata do not even support PT in AMD, AMD lacks proper hardware for it so generally the 5070 ti is roughly 50% faster in PT + even if AMD is allowed to run PT they generally lack RR in games so PT has a lot of noise, don't give people advice when you obviously don't know about the topic

[-]

realWulfLives@reddit

It's a driver issue. Don't be a smug dick. Especially when you don't know who you are dealing with.

[-]

iTzJME@reddit

Is it? Haven't tried it honestly, thanks mate

[-]

realWulfLives@reddit

Yes, overclock it to get a little extra out of it and it's a very playable experience.

[-]

Lion_El_Jonsonn@reddit

Im rocking the rx 9070xt no regrets

[-]

Noeaton@reddit

The 5070 ti is the better product( I also have 9070XT as I live in Europe), that said with 300 euro difference and budget oriented build I would not buy it. Outside of PT they are very similar in RT and Raster. Sure dlss 4.5 is better than far 4.1 but honestly far 4.1 is good enough so unless you do side by side and pixel peeping it's not as noticeable. The only reason to spend more for 5070 ti is either PT or LLM, Cuda workloads as the Nvidia card is generally much better, if it's gaming only and you don't care for PT it makes no sense to spend 300 euro more for 5070 ti it ain't 50% better.

[-]

nexus1242@reddit

Yes it's worth it. 3080 plus dlss quality is the same performance as 9070 xt. There's no point in getting a card with worse features.

[-]

PrettyQuick@reddit

lol with that logic 9070xt with fsr4 quality is the same performance of 5090.

[-]

Puzzleheaded-West159@reddit

9070 XT is 10000% the smarter buy

[-]

PrettyQuick@reddit

Price is about the same where i am at and with that difference im choosing 9070XT every time.

Sure DLSS is slightly better than FSR4 but i aint paying €300 for some software.

[-]

MR_GENG@reddit

I would go with with RTX 5070Ti but not because of gaming i just really like upscaling older/lower quality stuff with nvidia VSR or oyher real time AI model.

[-]

TokageLife@reddit

For €300 just learn to use Optiscaler

[-]

snipsuper415@reddit

Unless you decide to do any local LLM with your Nvidia card. Just get the 9070xt

[-]

xl129@reddit

I run llm with 9070xt, it’s fine. VRAM is the real bottleneck at this level.

[-]

snipsuper415@reddit

Sure, but if you want to use vllm which I'm doing. Cuda support is needed

[-]

gibbarish@reddit

Do you care about DLSS 4.5 or faster ray tracing? If not the 9070xt is the way to go. Just grabbed one and it's awesome.

[-]

AdstaOCE@reddit

DLSS isn't really a selling point anymore, FSR is much closer than before. And same with RT, in most RT situations the gap is only a few %.

[-]

F1T_13@reddit

Well, when it is supported sure, but when it's not you have to go through the rigmorale of Optiscaler which not everyone wants to do.

[-]

AdstaOCE@reddit

over 200 games supported FSR 4 within a year. It's not bad, just still a bit behind DLSS.

[-]

gibbarish@reddit

The drivers automatically upgrade any game that supports FSR 3.1 to 4.1

[-]

Spearush@reddit

You will not get 50% more performance from the 5070 ti. Take it as you will.

[-]

postsshortcomments@reddit

I'd ask myself: what will a €600 GPU look like in comparison to a 5070 Ti when a 9070XT used value is still above €300 and what immediate benefits does a 5070 Ti give me?

[-]

Lucario-Mega@reddit

Easiest 9070xt of my life

[-]

realWulfLives@reddit

No.

[-]

JohnLovesGaming@reddit

9070xt is the no brainer. Unless you really need to use CUDA, and the other NVIDIA tech like Broadcast/DLSS 4.5/MFG.

[-]

Middle_Yesterday_448@reddit

Not worth

[-]

F1T_13@reddit

No, not for budget conscious at all. 300 euros for DLSS, Nvidia drivers, MFG. Just for gaming so no NVENC or CUDA..

[-]

Fuck_the_fascists@reddit

That 300€ difference will be much more visible being spent in the monitor instead; and/or a high quality, durable headset.

[-]

AdstaOCE@reddit

9070XT by far. Performance in raster and RT is very similar, PT performance is a bit lower on the 9070XT (around 5070 level). Upscaling is very similar now, and other features are situational.

[-]

gounatos@reddit

For €300, no. Hell you can set that €300 aside and in 3-4 years sell your 9070 XT for another €300 and upgrade to a 1170 XT or whatever will be out by then.

[-]

BedroomThink3121@reddit

You're not looking at extra performance with the 5070Ti.

I have made multiple videos with 9070 XT and 5080 with and without Upscaling, difference is only 10-15% at best.

But you will be getting a better upscaler with nvidia that is dlss and it's better and wider implementation in games.

So if that's something you care about, you can spend the extra €300.

If you're more of a native resolution player, then I'll advise you saving that money for something else.

[-]

gxvfnk@reddit

Hell no, not even for 100€

[-]

Ok-Strawberry277@reddit

Why have I seen this post like 20 times this month

[-]

iTzJME@reddit

I don't think so, $100-150 extra is the absolute max I'd spend personally

[-]

Naerven@reddit

If you need the extra 5% average performance boost then I guess so.

[-]

BaronB@reddit

The 5070 Ti is on average 5% faster than the 9070 XT in most games. Up to 20% faster when using a lot of raytracing in a few titles, but they trade blows with each GPU being faster in some games vs the other, even with raytracing enabled.

The main "benefit" is DLSS 4.5. DLSS 4.0 upscaling is legitimately better than FSR 4 upscaling, and supported by more games, but for 1440p both GPUs are so faster and the upscaling so close in quality that you'd be hard pressed to actually tell them apart. As for frame gen, again DLSS 4.5 frame gen is better than FSR 4 frame gen, but both are really only useful if you have an high refresh monitor, like 240+, and can maintain better than 120fps before frame gen in the games you want to use it with. All current forms of frame gen increase latency by 1 frame and have some GPU overhead meaning that a game that runs >120fps w/o frame gen may only get up to 160hz with frame gen, but feel (and look!) much worse.
