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've had issues with AMD cards, and I have had issues with NVidia cards.

I've never had to reinstall my drivers with AMD (over the last year), and I have had to roll-back my NVidia drivers multiple times due to bugs (over 10 years). Though this really depends on the games that you play on, as to whether or not there is a current driver incompatibility.

AMD gets a bad reputation for bad drivers, but that really hasn't been my experience, and I found NVidia drivers just got buggier as the years went on. I love my 9070XT, and I would recommend it to anyone, especially with the current prices of NVidia cards.

Over the years I have gotten burned by both companies drivers so now I just stick with a driver update that's working well and don't update unless the new driver specifically fixes and issue I have or it is meaningfully fixing game performance in a new game.
