Unless you're willing to spend waaaaaaay more than you need to, AMD combo is the best way to go. Nvidia has become too dependent on their AI tech that they've lost the way of horsepower becoming stagnant across generations, and less VRAM than there should be. I saw the writing on the wall with Nvidia.

I finished a brand new build recently with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 7800XT. I'm loving the performance so far and depending on 9070 series reviews, I may upgrade to the 9070XT at some point later this year or early next year. Also is able to take advantage of AMD's Smart Access Memory tech when you pair the CPU and GPU.

If you just care about pure raster then you're probably fine for a while. If you care about RT or upscaling though you should probably upgrade.

Hell, I was almost considering a 7900XTX since it's the same price as a 5070Ti here and usually performs better in pure raster, but the generational upgrade of RDNA 4 is truly generational. For AMD at least.

Edit: Also the 9070XT should be much cheaper than both anyway. Should be.
