I am looking into 2 cards. Can't decide what I want. I am planing on upgrading my system. I am looking into a Radeon Rx 5700 Xt or the RTX 2070. I know that they are the same but different in many ways of gaming. I have used nVidia for a long time and don't know if I should jump on board with AMD. I am providing links to help out on the 2 cards I am on the fence about.

If you don't need ray tracing then I'd go with the 5700 XT. It's an impressive card but you might need to troubleshoot a bit to get it to work correctly. At least that was the case with me. I don't regret getting it though, and this coming from someone who only recently jumped on the AMD train in both CPU and GPU.

I would go 5700XT as i think they are cheaper by a bit. I have a RTX 2070 and don't use ray tracing at all but if they are the same price then go RTX

If you are streaming , 2070 nvidea's encoder is so good and so sharp it doesn't have anything to compete against in the market

But if you are on a tighter budget 5700xt 

But be ware that is it more power hungry and if you want to play games where you would up the graphics with post processing and AA I'd go with the 2070
