Verdict — RTX 4070

One of the most efficient cards ever made — sips power, runs cool. VRAM is the weak point but adequate for most 1440p use. Used market often prices it well against a new 5060 Ti.

Verdict — RX 9070 XT

The best AMD card since the 6800 XT. Raster performance rivals the 5070 Ti; RT is closer than ever but still a step behind. FSR 4 finally competitive with DLSS at Quality settings.
