Which of these cards would be better for Cyberpunk 2077?

Streamer.

Ray tracing looks great on stream (to a point at least).
Resolutions above 1080 and fps higher then 60 don't show on my stream, and thus are not my main concern. Ray tracing however, does make a visible difference.

How many people are viewing your stream?

Is this just you having fun or trying to gain followers?

RayTracing in a 5-6 year old single player game isn't going to draw people in, if that's your goal it's a poor investment of potentially half a grand.

hi

None of that is your concern. My activities are my business alone.

Well then, any advice I might have is non of yours.

I wont give poor advice based on limited information, normally I'd not care but other people might come across this thread and I'd hate for them to make the same mistakes.

For those that do:

1. Ray Tracing in an old game will not increase your sub count.
2. You need a good personality and probably a gimmick to make it in streaming.
3. Streaming for fun is one thing, spending half a grand if you probably can't afford it on an ill fitting computer part is a poor investment.
4. Don't ask questions you don't want answers to on forums filled with highly experienced and grumpy middle aged men.

Edit: Since you've massively edited your post since I quoted it, I'll add an edit to my own! -- I asked because I wanted to be sure you weren't spending good money for no reason, it wasn't out of nastiness. All you had to do was tell me you wanted to stream in X or Y way and didn't care about subs, I'd have politely moved on and gave you the best advice I could in relation to that. I asked those questions for good reason and it wasn't to be an ass, computer hardware is increasingly costly.

My budget is only around £4-550, as indicated by the choices I presented in the OP.

And for the record (since it was asked), I'm only on 1080p with most game settings at max, except the ones I don't understand, which have been left on default. And all the crappy undesirable effects turned off (motion blur, DoF etc etc).

If you're at 1080p I'd just get the 5070. The main disadvantage is the VRAM and at 1080p you're much less likely to have an issue there. In TPU's review of the 5060 Ti, the 5070 was some ~35% faster with ray tracing enabled in Cyberpunk.

That said, I do agree with the other points about these cards. TPUs GPU database has the 5070 as 48% faster, that's reasonable I guess, but more of an incremental upgrade and not impressive for ~£500.

Switching cards within the same generation is rarely good value.

£550 will also get an RX9070XT. What system does the OP have though?

One only has to look at your posts on here to see where you're coming from Gray, I think myself, yourself and the likes of Tetras and Tamzzy all come from a similar standpoint.

For the OP, this is where I was coming from too, basically not wanting you to spend money and be disappointed with that spend.

9070xt or save a bit more and get the 5070ti

If you want a 5070Ti I wouldn't hang about

Nvidia preparing to slash GeForce RTX 50 production by up to 40% in 2026: Report - Dexerto

Nvidia is reportedly preparing to cut production of its GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs in early 2026 due to massive memory shortages.

www.dexerto.com

Benchlife claims Nvidia plans to begin scaling back production by targeting specific models, including the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and RTX 5070 Ti. Both cards use the same memory capacity as higher-end GPUs like the RTX 5080, which are sold at significantly higher prices
