RTX is around 150-250$ more expensive but is comparable in terms of efficiency to RX, but on the other hand RTX has cool features such as ray tracing or DLSS. What is your opinion on this topic?
 
Nvidia on average has more support for most games and applications, so id go for 3070ti
 
This is true but I also wanted to at some point switch my OS to linux and I've heard nvidia drivers are not functioning properly on that OS. But I sill don't know if I am going to switch, right now I am sitting on windows, so yeah probably going to get RTX.

They work perfectly on Linux, I've got a Mint set up with a 1070 and I've got zero issues.

wtf this is a no brainer. 9070xt is literally a clear upgrade from 3070ti

not a meaningful difference
 
3070 Ti is terrible with only 8GB VRAM.

I would say if you can get 9070 XT 20+% cheaper than 5070 Ti, then it's worth it. Unless you're a Linux nerd, then always go AMD.

Also, model is barely relevant at this performance level unless you're pedantic about cooling. My 5070 Ti is among the worst coolers and only gets to around 70C stressed.
 
If you're gonna only use Linux, then the 9070 XT.

If you're gonna be on Windows, or will be switching to Linux 1-2 years later, or care about the NVIDIA software features, go with the 5070 Ti. AFAIK there's a bug with the open source NVIDIA drivers for Linux that causes the decreased performance on Windows vs Linux. Once that is fixed, the performance should be around the same or better on Linux.

The AMD card will outperform the NVIDIA one (on average), but NVIDIA's software features and innovative capabilities are superior to AMD's, and the cards are just more versatile for that reason. However, if you don't care about any of that and just want raw performance the AMD card will be better.
 
I would buy 9070xt as i hate kiketracing that is a fad that will disappear like forced PhysX with passage of time, that gimmick still way more impressive than Gaytracing

9070xt is significantly cheaper too (~170 euro)... but others here stated that nvidia features are worth it ... I am so confused bros, I might just coinflip when I get the money (hopefully this week):feelsokman:

None of those features are worth it unless you want to do something with CUDA. DLSS is shit (just a bit less shit than FSR), raytracing is shit, physx got abandoned you can't even play those old games with all features enabled you may as well go with AMD. I have less driver crashes with my gpu than on old nvidia gtx card.
 
In general raster, 5070 Ti is ~5% more performance. Then take into account stability and drivers, which although tightening, Nvidia remains better. Then superior raytracing and DLSS. Raytracing is still rarely worth it IMO, but if you care then definitely go Nvidia, and DLSS is a great feature (that does come at the cost of making game developers lazy).
 
Dlss4 is less performance efficient on 3070ti, and dlss3 gets ripped apart by fsr 4. Considering that you just want to play games, it may not be a bad idea to just get a 9070xt 16gb and use the spare change to buy bf6 or something else as a showcase title.
