Why buy each?

AMD RX 7900 XTX

24GB GDDR6 — massive VRAM

More VRAM than any RTX 5000 card except the 5090. Unmatched for VRAM-hungry workloads.

Generation-end clearance

Superseded but strong value — clearance pricing makes this competitive with the RX 9070 XT at launch MSRP.

Mature RDNA 3 drivers

Over 2 years of driver optimization.

NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti

16GB GDDR7 at $749

Same VRAM as the $999 RTX 5080, making it the sweet spot for high-end 4K gaming.

300W TDP

Reasonable power draw for its performance class — runs on a 700W PSU.

DLSS 4 support

Full access to multi-frame generation and all Blackwell AI features.
