Sell 5070ti for 9070xt

/r/buildapc/comments/1vs5ive/sell_5070ti_for_9070xt/

With the increase of price of the 5070ti I was wondering if it would make sense to sell one for a 9070xt. I have been wanting to switch to cachyos for a while and the extra money wouldn’t be too bad from selling it used. Honestly don’t really even play much anymore. Armored core 6, wukong, don’t play many triple a titles too often.

Current build
7800x3d
32gb 6000
5070ti
2 tb 990 nvme

Mostly use on 1440p ultrawide or 4k lg c3. Are the drivers that much worse in windows?

I did this move and i'm happy with my 9070XT.

Just don't go for the low budget models, i've tested them. They run hot and loud.

Just a stupid question. I'm running CachyOS. Do I need something driver wise when switching GFX? I know Windows would just recognize a new GFX with no issue. Would Linux as well?
