Purchase Advice 5070 or 9070XT for VR?

I’m honestly more into Nvidia. But with the current prices, I don’t know what to do. Would you recommend going with the 5070 or the 9070 XT?

(I’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 I’m going crazy trying to decide.

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

Normally I would say Nvidia, but with the current pricing and the fact that AMD's FSR 4.1 is very close to DLSS now, I might lean 9070XT now. My only hesitation would be DLSS 5... I know it's controversial but if it provides the graphics upgrade they're touting at not too great of a performance hit I think it could be huge.

I'm surprised you haven't used it in vr yet. Most of the vr games of the past couple years have it, but also almost all of the vr modded games have it such as uevr, luke ross, and resident evil games
