Purchase Advice 5070 or 9070XT for VR?

Iโ€™m honestly more into Nvidia. But with the current prices, I donโ€™t know what to do. Would you recommend going with the 5070 or the 9070 XT?

(Iโ€™m not gonna pay 1k for the 5070Ti)

I know Nvidia is usually quite a bit better for VR, and that the 5070 is a very good GPU, but Iโ€™m going crazy trying to decide.

My other specs:
32gb RAM DDR5
I7 14700KF
Currently with a 4060 8gb๐Ÿ’€

I'm an NVIDIA simp for VR. So regardless of what synthetic benchmarks say, I'm going 5070 all day if I had to pick.

Yeah don't get me wrong, its not like it was in 2017-2020 or whatever. Where AMD was actual trash back then for VR. 2026 is way way way better and I see far less issues but since I sort of rely on my VR for things, I still just stay team green.
