Is upgrade neccessary?

Why would you be considering this, are you having some particular issue?

Regardless, in general the 5070ti and 9070XT are on par with each other, your only options for a genuine upgrade would be either a second hand 4090 or a 5090 and either will be extremely expensive.
 
Absolutley not worth it at all lol.

As above you'd really want a 5080 or 5090, and they are just too expensive to consider, unless you have money to burn, and then speaking of burning... they also have a habit of setting fire to themselves.
 
I keep reading about nvidia’s ray tracing, path tracing and image quality, thats its way ahead of amd’s FSR!
Personally im not a big fan of ‘fake frames’ but how good will it get!

DLSS is in my opinion superior to AMD's FSR, however most comparisons and opinions on the topic relate to earlier versions of AMD's FSR. Their most current is actually very good and not all that far behind DLSS as an upscaler, I'd not get hung up on that.

As for ray tracing, Nvidia is ahead but not by as much as people seem to think until you start looking at path tracing, and even then there's an argument that mid range cards like the 5070ti or 9070XT aren't really up for the job anyway.

I would not in a million years swap out a 9070XT for a 5070ti unless it was a free swap or tiny added expense of £50 or so, ideally you'd need to be looking at Nvidia's halo products such as the now discontinued 4090 or the exorbitantly expensive 5090.

A 5070ti is marginally better in some circumstances so it's a waste of money to upgrade IMO as its not really an upgrade in any meaningful sense.

It's more of a 'sidegrade' and that will have a significant cost attached to it unless you get an exceptional price selling your 9070xt.

You'd need to be looking at a 5080 at least... But they are a big jump up in price again.

It's just not worth it.
 
For games the 9070XT is better at regular rasterization in most instances and that's typical what your cards doing most of the time. The only instance where a 5070Ti would be an upgrade is if your using it for accelerating A.I models as most software runs on CUDA.
