Why buy each?

NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super

Used market only

New units sell above MSRP. Used units are the only viable path to value for this card.

16GB GDDR6X

Same VRAM capacity as the RTX 5070 Ti — no VRAM compromise versus the successor.

Proven performance

Over 2 years of driver maturity ensures excellent stability across all titles.

AMD RX 9070 XT

16GB GDDR6 — VRAM advantage

4GB more than the RTX 5070 at the same price. Future-proofs for 1440p ultra and 4K textures.

FSR 4 with ML upscaling

AMD's first machine-learning upscaler, narrowing the gap with DLSS 4.

No vendor lock-in

AMD's open-source driver stack and FSR's open standard avoid proprietary ecosystem dependencies.
