@Why_Me @PDifolco 9070 XT or 7900 XTX? One is more modern and recent, but the other has significantly more VRAM and varyingly better raster.

Tough call tbh.

Personally wouldn't get Nvidia, but, can't really speak realistically because I'd hypothetically favor AMD over Nvidia.

 

But I'm someone who doesn't care about RT and prefers native over any form of upscaling, so...

7900XTX is only 10% faster, lacks FSR4 and has worse RT

24GB VRAM is overkill and 16GB is always enough, so at £800 to £700 the XTX is worse value (and requires more power as well)
