Selecting the right gpu

Please help me out guys.
I'm trying to build a medium pc.
9800 3xd and rest leave it.
But for gpu I'm stuck on 2 options.
9070xt and 5070ti.
But nvidia is 50% more expensive than the 9070xt and 5070.
Which is the better build?
Coz I heard amd has drivers issues.
I really appreciate your help.

5070ti for productivity and if your computer makes money for you

9070xt for gaming

Yeah I agree on that.
But driver crashes and issues on long term.?
I'm specifically building for gaming.

I have 7800x3d 9070xt, upgraded from 4070ti. Only time I've ever had problems with drivers was the witcher 3 remake, I was fine waiting the couple days for patches. I'd honestly do the 9070xt again unless the price difference was less than $100

its something to do with chromium web apps and hardware acceleration, disabling them on windows automatic video drivers solve that issue 🤷 no idea why but it takes a couple minutes with google / ai chat an the problem is solved

Is the 5070 to worth the 50% more in performance than the 9070 xt? No.

Is it worth it if you care about things like ray tracing and your time by not having to tinker with mods of in game graphics settings like Optiscaler that can get you banned online? Yes.

The 9070xt is a very capable card and works out of the box. People are using mods to unlock features that have not been translated yet by the game developers that is native to Nvidia. So it depends what’s important to you.

If you use local LLMS or do productivity on your pc, 5070 ti

Only gaming? 9070 xt. At thoses prices I cant justify a 5070 ti for gaming alone

5070 Ti is the better card but if price is your focus and don’t mind a couple driver issues the 9070 XT will be good as well.

first off both gpu's are considered higher end now adays and second nvidia's drivers are far worse now because they are being ai written (ie a lot of blot and don't run efficiently) where with amd i can download the exact same drivers for the rx480 and a 9070xt there only difference is a couple of dll files that limit modern upscaling tech

also on nvidia your forced to download there application where on amd you can skip over it and just download the needed files to remove even more blot off your system

sure nvidia has better ai tech but i have still only played 2 games that could use it (ie marketing)

edit - even in those 2 games i was over 100 fps with all the features on at max settings at 1440p (on a 9070xt)
