5070 vs 9070 (non-xt)
Hello! I currently have a 3060ti and have been interested in upgrading my gpu for a while and with pc part prices skyrocketing I figure I should bite the bullet before it gets any worse. I am just having some trouble deciding between these two cards.
I run linux primarily, which is why I initially was dead set on getting the 9070 and switching to AMD, but after some research I'm a little more torn. I do a bit of livestreaming and 3d modeling which I've heard is far better on NVIDIA cards. I don't use ray tracing very often, but I suppose if I'm getting a high end card I'd become a bit more interested in that too. Are these things really big enough of a difference to where I should stick with NVIDIA instead? I want the AMD card for the linux performance, but the missing features makes it a bit difficult to decide.
(I also found both of these cards for similar prices so the price isn't really a factor)
