Verdict
The RX 5700 XT and Radeon RX 9070 land at effectively the same price so your decision should come down to features, ecosystem fit, and availability rather than budget.
The Radeon RX 9070's 16 GB of VRAM is a 8 GB advantage over the RX 5700 XT. At 4K or in heavily modded games that extra buffer matters — and it provides headroom as future titles push VRAM requirements higher.
If we had to pick one: the Radeon RX 9070 edges it on raw VRAM, which carries more weight the longer you hold onto a card.
