RX 9070 XT vs RTX 5070 Ti in Path Tracing (Full Ray Tracing)

In this video we'll explore how the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT compares to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in path tracing. Path tracing is also sometimes called full ray tracing, and today we are going to have a look at the performance between these 2 GPUs in Indiana Jones, Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, Quake 2 RTX, and Half-Life 2 RTX.

The RX 9070 XT is about $150 less than the RTX 5070 Ti when it comes to MSRP, but I paid $800USD for the 9070 XT, and $1000USD for the 5070 Ti. At these prices I would not recommend either, but at MSRP the difference of $150 does present an interesting choice. The RX 9070 XT and 5070 TI often trade blows in normal ray tracing games, as well as in pure raster performance, but that gap widens quite a bit when using path tracing. The question is "Is $150 extra for path tracing worth it?", and that is a question that only you can answer.
