i got 2 xfx 9070 OC from BB at this price- unless it drops another 50-100 buy AMD instead
Is it an apples-to-apples comparison though?
"If you're focused on AI-enhanced gaming, ray tracing, and future-proofing, the ASUS RTX 5070 OC is the better pick. But if you value higher VRAM and compute power for creative workloads or multitasking, the XFX RX 9070 OC might be more your style." RTX 5070 OC offers superior ray tracing, DLSS 4 for upscaling performance, and faster memory bandwidth thanks to GDDR7. It's better optimized for modern AAA titles and AI-enhanced workflows.
I would just want to make sure if I'm getting a comparable card that will last longer term. It doesn't seem paying the same price for the 9070 OC is the better deal?

You'll want the XT which compares to the 5070 Ti, MSRP is $600 but that is near impossible to find

When? I've been looking and haven't seen any amd cards at msrp. What I can't stand about Amazon is that we pay for prime memberships only to be scalped. Wild.

What are the thoughts of replacing a 4060 with this (in a 14th gen I9) to "future proof" for another 3 years a mainly general productivity workstation, that occasionally tries out a hot AAA game casually in 1080p and does some occasional very light video editing and AI stuff.
Stay with what I have and wait until (if) i hit a wall in hopes of lower prices, or just bite the bullet and do it when it comes time for a new CPU\mobo and see where things stand then?
I'm trying to get more into a cycle of iterative improvement when it comes to my daily driver vs waiting until I am up against a wall and having to spend big on a few things at once, or having to compromise.
