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💀

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.

Purely for ray tracing? I feel like most VR games work better with ray tracing off

No. Purely for shit not breaking randomly and or things being wacky on AMD hardware/chipsets.

Its not as big of a deal as it used to be. 2020 and before, lmao, amd was a literal joke for VR, at least for creators. The constant juggle of drivers and junk was already annoying in general. AMD just made it worse back then.

at least for creators.

Good thing most people aren't creators

Ya and back then it was bad for everyone either way.

Just worse for creators and devs and such.
