Wouldn't get this over a 9070 unless it was $350 since in only has 12 gb ram vs 16 gb on the 9070

For gaming, 9070 is better for rasterization and in the long-term. I don't think too far ahead because most people don't keep the same gpu for 3+ years. At 1440p with DLSS 4, the 5070 has a performance advantage even with 12gb vram and significantly more support than AMD's FSR.
If you do video editing or run AI locally, the 5070 would whoop the 9070. ROCM is catching up, but it's still quite a way behind CUDA. For AI, it's not even close.
Overall, if you use the card for more than just gaming, I think the 5070 is the better option. For gaming, 9070 is better.

Yea I'm not in the LLM space much. I had a 1070Ti since day one but last year I couldn't really load many games at 1080p60 without having to make severe cuts due to vram space. So I bit the bullet and got a 4080 super to try to mitigate any future issues from vram. I guess I'm one of those who waits until it dies.
Of course, there are plenty of other considerations. If you need top tier performance, you go Nvidia. If you need AI or cuda, you go Nvidia. If you intend to ever run on Linux, get AMD. If you want raster bang for buck, get AMD. They both have their use cases.
