Question 5070 Ti or 9070 XT for gaming over the next few years ?

[maxforummfv]

Hi there, I’d like to build a new PC for my gaming experience over the next few years. I usually play games at 3440x1440 (2K ultrawide) resolution. I don’t play eSports titles; instead, I enjoy games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Black Myth: Wukong, The Witcher, Total War, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, and Monster Hunter. For me, a target of 60+ FPS is ideal, with 1% lows not dropping below 45 FPS, which I think is good enough.

In my country, I have a few options at similar price points:

1. Ryzen 5 7500F + RTX 5070 Ti (or an i5-13400F for $100 less).
2. Ryzen 7 7700 + RX 9070 XT.

I’m really confused about choosing between option 1 and option 2. The main dilemma revolves around the RX 9070 XT versus the RTX 5070 Ti. Here’s why I can’t decide:

• The RX 9070 XT has better raw performance than the RTX 5070 Ti, but games in the next few years might not be the same as they are now. I’ll likely need technologies like DLSS, FSR, Frame Generation, and Multi-Frame Generation. It seems Multi-Frame Generation could give me a better chance to play more games in the future. Also, DLSS seems better than FSR—based on tests I’ve seen in games like Wukong, FSR with Frame Generation looks really bad compared to DLSS with Frame Generation.
• I’ve watched YouTube tests comparing Ray Tracing on and off. Ray Tracing ON looks stunning, and I love it. As I mentioned, I don’t play eSports, so a few hundred FPS isn’t valuable to me. I just need 60+ FPS with beautiful graphics, and the 1% lows should stay above 45 FPS. Naturally, the RTX 5070 Ti should offer a better Ray Tracing experience than the RX 9070 XT, at least for now.
• However, if I choose the RX 9070 XT, I’d have more money to pair it with a better CPU like the Ryzen 7 7700. This could handle open-world games, strategy games, and maybe even streaming better in some cases.

So, please help me clear my mind and make the right choice! Thank you!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I'd avoid the 13th Gen Intel platform altogether due to the instability/degradation issues. To add, if the cost of both the RTX5070Ti and the RX 9070 XT are the same, then pick the RX 9070 XT.

In my country, I have a few options at similar price points:
Where would this country be?

To add, you need to make sure you have a reliably built 750W~850W PSU powering the system regardless of which GPU you choose.

Vietnam, sir.

And the price of those is all aroud 1,600$ total for everything in the case (main, chip, card, psu, ram)

the ryzen 7 7700 with the 9070xt is more balanced and has more vram which is important.

if your system runs out of vram then it goes into your system ram which causes hanging and unsmooth gameplay.

ryzen 7 7700 has more cpu cores so games that lean heavy on cpu will be fine.

at 2k cpu is just as important as gpu.

at 4k the gpu is more important.

as for dlls and fsr is completely dependant on how well the game supports it cause while you can have the highest framerate in the world that means zero if the latency makes it feel like your hoofing it threw the thames river in slow mo.

the current 5000 series of nvidia gpus is a mess with drivers and quality issues with gpus not having the correct rops or hardware promised.

as a long time nvidia user its a absolute shame it seems it started going down hill from 4000 series.

other arguement for going for 9070xt is the saving you make that can be put into getting better ram possibly depending on what config of ram it has.

you want at least 2 sticks of same kit for a total of 32gb ddr5

thank you. So I gonna choice 9070XT combo.

Here’s the build I’ve put together:

2. Mainboard MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI DDR5
3. Ram G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5 32GB (16GB x 2) 6000MHz (F5-6000J3636F16GX2-TZ5NR)
4. Ổ cứng SSD Kingston NV3 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4
5. VGA Asrock AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Steel Legend Dark 16GB (RX9070XT SLD 16G)
6. PSU FSP Vita GM 850W Gen 5.1 ATX3.1 Black 80Plus Gold (PPA8504205)
7. Cpu cooler Thermalright Frost Spirit 140
8. CASE XIGMATEK GAMING X II 3F (E-ATX, MID TOWER, Black, 3FAN) (EN42355)

I just watched this:

And oh my god. The Ray Tracing, Patch Tracing make the game really diffirence. Can rx 9070 xt have this experience?

The RX 9070XT is roughly equivalent to a 4070 Ti Super in ray tracing performance.

I was in a similar position as you last night, I almost ordered an RX 9070XT but then I remembered how boss Huang looked in his leather jacket, so I caved and pre-ordered a 5080.

If money weren’t an issue, I’d dive straight into the 5080 without a second thought =)) But where I’m at, the 5070 Ti seems like a more reasonable choice.

Well, driver gonna update through time, so it will be okay.

So, brother, do you think the R5 7500F + 5070 Ti combo is worth it?

Kind of hard to call which is the best option. If you get the 7500F and it doesn't work out there is Zen 6 in 12 to 18 months which would be a drop in replacement.
