Can someone help me decide here. Which one should I get? To pair with 7800X3D I've already a Sapphire pulse 9070xt and it's great. That's in another pc. But the price on this 5070 TI is very enticing.

The

Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Phoenix is good price too. And i think extra 1 years warranty too?​

From a nerd point of view. I would get the Nvidia card purely to see how they compare. That’s not for everyone. If your really happy with the 9070xt you know exactly what your getting. Get that. No idea about how if the actual specific cards are any good. You have 14 days to spank them silly to find out if they are ok.

Cheers, I was thinking there must be a reason these 2 5070 TI'S are the cheapest but the reviews seem pretty good. So having just sold my 4090 I'm happy with the 9070xt pulse but i normally buy Nitro if im going AMD. And was going to get a pulse and a Nitro but was thinking I could get the Nvidia card and have FSR and DLSS if needed. Best of both worlds.

I'd like to know if the Nvidia cards would be faster compared to the Sapphire. I know that would differ on a game to game basis though. And that Ray tracing is obviously better on the Nvidia offering. Frame generation better Nvidia wise. I tried AMD equivalent and i found it made my game look bad.

Eh while it's better both can't do RT without upscaling in say CP2077 and the difference isn't massive, in terms of frame gen MFG is nice, but I wouldn't say regular frame gen I've noticed a difference and I've completed multiple games with both vendors FGs, plus redstone is supposed to bring better FG

I say this as a 5070Ti owner

I agree, plus if you have one game you LOVE that has a weird driver bug, or just runs badly, you would have options.

RTX5070 Ti all the way DLSS is a major game changer plus AMD drivers are not good at all.........!!

DLSS/FSR4 - pretty much on a par other than wider support for DLSS but AMD are doing pretty well with this recently.

AMD drivers are solid, perhaps more so than nVidia's recent drivers.

Only thing I miss going from a 3090 to 9070XT is RTX HDR.

I love my 9070 XT Red Devil which I only paid £590 for (£591.xx) iirc - I think if a good model 5070 Ti was within £75 I’d pick the Ti arguably for better RT and DLSS but when there’s a £100+ difference the XT is the winner

The Palit GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GamingPro-S 16GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card is £668.99 and the Sapphire Nitro + Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card is £679.99

So this is a real tough choice. I could wait as it's a Christmas present for me and see if either drop in price in say black Friday or what not, but it's a tough decision.

I can't see the 5070 TI dropping mum h more in price but maybe the Nitro 9070 XT might as I've seen it as low as £645. I still kick myself for not buying at that.

Given that in two recent games, Borderlands 4 and Silent Hill F, the 9070XT is out doing the 5070Ti and keeping pace with the 5080. It has to be the 9070XT. And the better drivers. And FSR4 in any game that supports FSR3.1 (so I think around 100 titles atm). :)

You've said it yourself. ;)

I would just go with the cheapest There are features that the 5070Ti has that the 9070XT doesn't(RTX HDR for example). And there are still things that the 5070TI does better(DLSS, Ray Tracing, VR) The 5070Ti is more power efficient too. And before people come running in and saying you can undervolt the 9070Xt, yes, sure you can. But you can also undervolt the 5070Ti.

If none of those things matter to you, I would just get the cheapest card. Outside of those things I mentioned I already, the two cards are basically the same.
