Question RTX 5070 TI or RX 7900 XTX or RX 9070 XT

Hello,


After reading a lot, I still don’t know what to do. I sold my old GPU a while back and need a new one. I want to game in 4K with RT on an AW255QF with a Ryzen 9 7950X3D, T-Force Vulcan 32GB 6000MHz, Samsung 980 Pro, and a 1k PSU. I wanted a 5080, but here in Canada, the only one I could get would be $3K, and that is way too much. So now I can get, for about the same price, an MSI RTX 5070 Ti Ventus X3 OC, the Asus TUF Gaming 5070 Ti, or the Sapphire Nitro+ 7900 XTX. For about $500-600 less, I can get the 9070 XT, but will that be enough to game in 4K with RT? I know there was an article here saying that you can overclock the 7900 XTX to 5080 performance, but can't you just do the same with a 5070 Ti? I tested an RX 7900 XTX with my monitor and couldn't seem to make adaptive/free sync work, so maybe Nvidia is the way to go. There are so many factors, lol.


So is going with AMD over Nvidia that much of an issue because I lose G-Sync and can’t have FreeSync work?
If I go with AMD, in many benchmarks on Game Nexus, the 7900 XTX is better than the 9070 XT, but then I won’t be able to use FSR 4.
If going with Nvidia is that much better because of G-Sync, is it safe to get a 5070 Ti? I know some cards have issues with power connection.


Thanks for the help!

If you're able to get the RX 9070 XT at or near MSRP then go for it, it's better than the RTX5070/RTX5070Ti but if it's hard finding one in stock or at MSRP, then you can just jump on the RX 7900 XT.

AW255QF
Did you get this model for the Alienware right?

and a 1k PSU.
Make and model of the unit and it's age?

Did you use DDU after you'd swapped the GPU over to the 7900XT?

Sorry the screen model is AW3225QF from Alienware
PSU is a Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 1000w about 4 years old I think.
Yes I did use DDU in safe mode.
Also you think the 9070 is better then the 7900 xtx and the 5070ti?
Thank you
