RX 9070 XT PCs beat RTX 5070 Ti value as well-priced 5070 Ti rigs grow scarce

PC Gamer says gaming PCs with AMD’s RX 9070 XT are even better value now that reasonably priced RTX 5070 Ti machines have become hard to find, particularly in the $1,500–$2,200 range.

The article notes the cheapest decent RTX 5070 Ti system it found is a Yeyian Phoenix Mesh listed at $2,000 on Newegg, which includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F — a capable chip, but “nowhere near” the Ryzen 7 7800X3D for gaming — and an extra terabyte of storage.

PC Gamer says the two GPUs are fairly evenly matched, with Nvidia offering a slightly stronger feature set, but AMD’s FSR now includes AI-based frame generation and upscaling that isn’t massively worse than Nvidia’s option, reducing that feature advantage.

At roughly the $1,800 mark, the article recommends Team Red for entry‑high‑end or upper‑midrange value. An iBuyPower RX 9070 XT build should handle most games at 1440p and many at 4K if you drop settings or increase upscaling, and AMD GPUs have generally been easier to run on Linux — though the gap versus Nvidia has narrowed.

The piece concludes that, from price to raw performance, the RX 9070 XT rig with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D is “miles ahead.” PC Gamer suggests keeping up to date with its curated stories and deals as availability and pricing evolve.
