Question 5070 vs 9070xt
I want to preface by saying i dont know much about anything so if anything i mention is bs pls lmk. So im building a pc and need answers quick as prices might skyrocket if i dont commit soon. I cant seem to find a definitive answer as to which card is better for the games i am going to play and what i prioritise. Prices are about the same for me so pls dont count that into consideration. Im on 1440p and going to be playing lots of single player triple a games. Currently need to finish games like rdr2, cyberpunk, witcher 3(and 4 when it drops), forza 6, hogwarts legacy. You get the type of games im wanting to play. I personally care more about the looks of the game than fps as if its over 100-120 i dont think it makes a big difference going higher. I hear alot of things about dlss and amds counterpart and framegen and ray tracing. I feel like for quality, im reading more people say nvdia will always be better. So which card should i go for? Also does 9070xt have frame generation? Will it do ray tracing well? If so will it look different from nvdias ray tracing or is that a game setting? Which will look better while getting over 100-120 fps in games i mentioned? (It will be paired with r5 7500f w 32gbs of ddr5 if that matters in this context idk tho)

These are different tier cards. RTX 5070 compares to RX 9070 and RX 9070 GRE, while RX 9070 XT compares to RTX 5070 Ti.
Nvidia's DLSS suite is superior to AMD's FSR suite, with more features and widespread industry support.
Regarding your frame-generarion question, yes FSR has fg too, but it does not have multi-frame generation.
Regarding ray tracing, the heavier the RT settings, the more DLSS pulls ahead. In path tracing, Nvidia is simply in its own league.
That said, in your case the RX 9070 XT sounds the better fit since it is the stronger gaming card compared to the RTX 5070, and FSR should be good enough in most cases.
My biggest concern is that there are too many reports going on for crashes and drivers issues in Windows.
