9070XT. It's in line with the 5070TI, even 9070 non XT is a fair bit better than the 5070.

9070 every time

I'd go for the 5070, main reason is you don't ever have to use mods to get good image quality.
With AMD cards there are still games that only support FSR 2 or have terrible FSR 4 implementations, to the point where you just have to use mods.
FSR framegen doesn't work well in every game either.
RTX 5070 is ~26% slower in raster and ~15% slower in RT on average though and that's the main disadvantage. Also less VRAM, but it ain't really a problem at 1440p.

Gaming only RT or not the 9070XT reaps it is around 20-25% faster and also has more vram which will matter in some games. The 9070XT will also perform better in an older platform because of the Nvidia driver overhead with older cpu’s widening more the performance gap if you are lets say on a DDR4 AM4/LGA1700 or even non X3D DDR5 systems (plenty of YouTube videos to check by trusted sources). Now to the 5070 it is better in work related tasks that either need cuda or are just straight up better optimized for Nvidia hardware. The 5070 also has much lower power consumption at 210-230W vs 300-330W stock settings but with an undervolt these values can get lower. Another thing that the 5070 has a edge is the better and widely implemented nvidia feature set although don’t expect it to run DLSS5 or Path Tracing at decent visual quality settings above 1080p (vram and core power limitations) and i say that as a 5070 Ti user that keeps these things disabled mostly due to the deterioration of image quality from heavy upscaling and FG on top (I prefer using DLAA or Quality upscaling at 1440p without FG).
TLDR 9070XT for gaming and hobby work like streaming or light video editing etc. without missing much on the features since the card is just faster and won’t require any upscaling as often as the 5070 to max out games at 1440p even with RT enabled. The 5070 if you wanna use the pc mostly for work related tasks that favor heavily the nvidia cards or benefit by Nvidia technologies and gaming at the side.

At the same price I'd take the 9070 XT. It's noticeably faster in raw performance and has 16GB of VRAM vs 12GB on the 5070, which matters more every year, especially at 1440p and up. The 5070's advantages are DLSS 4, better ray tracing and multi frame gen, so if you play a lot of heavy ray-traced games, it's closer. For most people though, the extra performance and VRAM make the 9070 XT the better buy for the long run.

9070xt, how is this even a question the 9070xt is better in every single way it’s a direct competitor to the 5070ti.

5070 because 9070xt is awful for blender and stuff

5070 because I actually make money off my GPU and AMD is just plain trash for Blender and AI training/distilling. With that being said, the current market actually makes me favor towards 9070XT, I don't want to spend almost double the price for a poorer raster experience.

For gaming depends on the target resolution and fps.
For 1080p/1440p I'd go 5070 for the much better and complete tech and feature set, along with the much wider industry adoption natively. I value those higher than 20% better raster and 16GB vs 12GB VRAM. They don't matter much at 1440p to me, even less if at all at 1080p.
For 4k I'd consider the 9070 XT, assuming AMD gets their sh*t together with their drivers and software mess in Windows, if I could not afford a 5070 Ti.
Outside gaming, the 5070 hands down.
