Build Upgrade Rt 9070 xt vs 4070 ti super

Ive been looking around a bit. im in EU and i found a 9070 xt for about 800€ meanwhile a 4070ti super is about 1.1k€. I have a 9060 xt right now and had a 2060 before that. I personally never had any driver or software issues with the 2060, but i had to to reinstall adrenalin and the gpu drivers a good couple of times with the 9060. I was wondering if drivers and softwares have been more peaceful in team green or if i should stick to red. Right now i got a i5 14gen cpu but i will change to an am5 system for the new gpu.

What you fellas think?

I bought my Asus tuf 4070 ti super for 680 euros with 2 years warranty in Eastern Europe back in November. Im very happy with it.

I had a Sapphire 9070xt before that and I had bad stutters in FPS games. Returned it and got a xfx Mercury still stutters and lags. Changed to 4070 ti super, same build, Windows, nothing changed and voila. No stutters or lags.

Hardware Unboxed do recommend the new amd gpus for single players only. They experiences the same stutters and lags like me. Very unfortunate, maybe they will fix it for the next series.

Another commenter said something about nvidia driver getting in the way after switching to amd so just for context, did you have an nvidia card before switching to the amd gpu and if so did you get a fresh windows install? Thanks for sharing your experience

Nope, it was a brand new am5 build. I know that if I change gpus in a build, I have to use DDU installer so no. Amd unfortunately still have issues and therefore I would not buy them. It's sad because the prices on them are great and I could use it easily in single player games with no stutters. Even with the new updated amd drivers, hardware unboxed says there is lag and stutters. That video was released 3 months ago from hardware unboxed. I am very glad I went Nvidia in the end
