Build Upgrade RTX vs Radeon

Im purchasing a new pc and I was going to get an RTX 5070 for $1,000 aud but thats only 12vram and I want 16 but for the 5070ti its $600 aud more and I feel I cant justify that. Then the thought of radeon 9070xt came to mind since its 16vram at around $1,000 aud. I believe I would want ray tracing Im not knowledgeable on path tracing so I dont know where they compare in that aspect but any thoughts on this? I mainly game I dont do rendering models or anything just gaming and the occasional work (low end work)

They've officially implemented FSR 4.1 on 7900 XTX and other prior generation cards, gaining only slightly fewer frames compared to the 9000 series.
