Girlfriends introduction to PC Master Race

I got all the parts and she put it all together herself other than installing the CPU and contact frame. I am currently looking for a solid long term GPU to go with the build. I am currently looking at the ASUS TUF 9070 XT or a ASUS STRIX 5070 Ti OC. Any suggestions on the card?

Asus ROG STRIX B850-F MOBO
AMD 9900X Processor
G.Skill 96GB 6400 MT/s RAM
Samsung 9100 NVME 4 TB
Corsair HX1000i PSU
Thermaltake v2 Ultra 360MM Radiator
10 Thermaltake SWA RGB 120MM fans
Thermaltake View 380 TG Tower in Matcha Green
Razer Deathstalker v2 Wireless Keyboard
Razer Basilisk v3 Pro Wireless Mouse
Razer Blackshark v2 Wireless Headset
MSI MAG 325CQF 31.5" 180Hz Curved Monitor

You have the single best and cringiest username I have ever seen. I salute you. (I say this as a person with Smaug tattooed on my arm.)

While all of the 9070xt are very good, including the
ASUS TUF 9070 XT. You could save yourself some cash going with a non premium card, unless you like the looks. The performance between an OC card and a base card isn’t very much. Plus you can overclock it on your own. The performance between the 9070xt and 5070ti is negligible. With a slight advantage to raytracing with the 5070ti. You can save yourself potentially hundreds of $$$$ depending on what AMD card you buy. Like I said before though you might be buying for looks. You’ll pay for it though.

Also, just make sure you get a 16gig card.

The computer looks great! :grinning_face:

I personally want to go premium without going overboard. Aesthetics do matter on this build however so I was looking at the ASUS STRIX 5070Ti as well since the MOBO is a STRIX. I was hoping they would come out with a STRIX 9070 XT but I don’t think they will do that sadly.

That is a beautiful build. I love it and good setup

Man very nice build i like it a lot. Out of the two options Id grab the 5070ti over the 9070xt. 5 to 6 percent better in rasterization performance which isn’t much like Viraco said, but the Ray Tracing and Frame Gen Team Green still has em beat. Amd close in some games and gets washed in others but doesn’t beat it. Fsr4 is equative to dlss3, but doesn’t compete with dlss4. If you care about RT and FG that is if not the cheaper of the two would be the best option.
