Have a 2070s. Been thinking for a while now my next card will be AMD. I hope they get back into the high end cards again :/
The 9070 XT is excellent and FSR 4 actually beats DLSS 4 in some important ways, like disocclusion.
Concur.
I went from a 2080 Super to the RX 9070 XT and it flies. Coupled with a 9950X3D, I still feel a little bit like the GPU might be the bottleneck, but it doesn't matter. It plays everything I want at way more frames than I need (240 Hz monitor).
E.g., Rocket League went from struggling to keep 240 fps at lowest settings, to 700+ at max settings. Pretty stark improvement.

AMD only releases high end for servers and high end workstations
I wish I had the money to change to AMD
This is a sentence I never thought I would read.
^(AMD used to be cheap)^
Is it because it's not how they make money now?
And only toke 15 years to figure it out?
"and the drivers, for which NVIDIA has always been praised, are currently falling apart"
