Countless gaming benchmark comparisons have proven that AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT is faster than NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 Ti while sporting the same 16GB VRAM count, and it is the GPU that most value-focused gamers would house in their PCs. However, we are living in an era where AAA games offer way too much visual fidelity for these graphics cards to handle, and you can blame that on the lack of optimization or any other reason.
The fact is that these days, modern gaming absolutely requires upscaling and interpolation, and in that regard, NVIDIA’s GPUs have no equal. On Amazon, the ASUS TUF Gaming edition of the RTX 5070 Ti is currently going for $803.99 and comes in an absolutely gorgeous white finish. With the 20 percent discount, this graphics card now exudes a decent ‘price to performance’ ratio, especially when considering that it packs sufficient VRAM while supporting the latest DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation technologies from NVIDIA.

Assuming the white paint job was not sufficient to make you salivate over the ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti, the attractive price might. At $803.99, this GPU continues to be pricier than the RX 9070 XT, but as soon as you enable upscaling, Frame Generation, and ray tracing, those differences immediately evaporate. Consider these additions the NVIDIA tax that you have to pay. Coming to the specifications, the RTX 5070 Ti’s core clock is running at 2610MHz, and it packs a beefy cooler to tame those temperatures.
ASUS has deliberately used higher quality components so that you can get some overclocking done on the RTX 5070 Ti, but if you do not prefer the annoying noise, this triple-slot design was designed for silent operation too. As for driver installation, NVIDIA has been a little rusty in this regard, as there have been an umpteenth number of complaints from users on how newer updates are creating a boatload of problems.
One advice we recommend to those wanting to upgrade to the ASUS TUF Gaming edition is switching to NVIDIA’s earliest drivers, which arrived shortly after the company’s RTX 5000 series of GPUs were available. This was version number 572.83 that you can download from here. You can also download and install MSI Afterburner and learn from countless undervolting tutorials if you feel that the RTX 5070 Ti is running a little too toasty, though with that beefy cooler, we doubt you will run into this problem.
Then again, if you would rather save money, ASRock’s RX 9070 XT Challenger is going for $649.99 on Amazon but only make this your GPU upgrade if you have no inclination towards ray tracing, DLSS or Frame Generation.
