XT is roughly $70 more at micro center, seems worth it to me.

14% higher cost for 10-15% better performance isnt that easy of a decision in my opinion. At MSRP the $600 vs $550 is a lot easier since its a 9% difference in price. Getting close to where the 9070 really makes sense.

That's actually a pretty normal (leaning towards great) cost to performance gain ratio. We're not talking about the performance difference between the $750 5070TI and the $1000 5080 (spoiler: it's only about 10% for a 33% price increase).


What folks should think about is what's $70 over the course of the 5 years they keep the GPU worth. If it means skipping an upgrade or getting half a generation more out of it because it does just that much better than the $70 lower priced model, it could be totally worth it.

It's important to keep in mind the 9070 XT uses way more power than the 9070. ~220 watts for the 9070 versus ~310 watts for the 9070 XT. Depending on your setup, that could have power draw and cooling implications.

I'm personally fine with my 9070, it seems to dump out less heat than my old 6900 XT did.

If it were me, I'd just buy the 9070 XT especially if it's only $70 more... Oh wait, I already have the 9070 XT Steel Legend which I paid $70 over MSRP for 🙄🤷🏾 ♂️😅

That's an easy decision to upgrade. Use total system cost as your denominator for the price increase and you can see spending 15% more on one component but getting 10% overall performance increase is a massive win.

I prefer the 9070 over xt due to less power requirement and less heat.
