Question Should I include 4070 Ti (non-Super) or 7900 XT in initial testing results for 5070 Ti?

Hey forumites!

Quick question for you. Would you rather I include the 7900 XT or the 4070 Ti in the upcoming 5070 Ti initial test results? The problem right now is that I'm out of time and can only test one more GPU before the deadline. I can add the other(s) later, but for tomorrow, what would you prefer?

Video on the subject with a bit more detail, maybe:

RTX vs RTX, so include the RTX4070Ti. Hopefully you can followup with the RX 7900 XT not long after

Who cares when they will cost 1K. You can TLDR your review without even testing anything with "Great GPU but not worth what you have to pay for it".

I mean, that sounds obvious to me. You should compare the new 70 ti with the previous 70 ti. Did you really consider not including the previous gen model in your test? That's the most important metric.

The intention was to include it and the 7900 XT, but time is running out. As for why I wouldn't include it initially, it was superceded by the 4070 Ti Super, which is a more direct precursor. The 4070 Ti was never one of the favored GPUs, due to having 12GB and a 192-bit interface. 4070 Super is nearly the same performance, 4080 was a big step up, and let's not forget it was the canceled RTX 4080 12GB before internet outcry forced Nvidia to rename it.

The 4070 and 4070 Super are more popular, and even the one year later 4070 Ti Super has nearly caught up to the discontinued 4070 Ti in market share (caveat: Steam HW survey numbers).

But I'm now testing the 4070 Ti, and will inevitably face the wrath of angry AMD fans wondering why the 7900 XT wasn't included. 🤷‍♂️
