Relative Value by scenario
Both products are normalized within the same in-stock market frame per preset — the two numbers compare directly. The lit pill = higher relative value in that scenario.
The same math, four ways
- 🏷️ Higher value, balanced weights — RX 9070 XT (100 vs 81)
- ✨ Higher value for ray tracing — RX 9070 XT (63 vs 59)
- 🤖 Higher value for AI / LLM — RTX 5070 Ti (58 vs 43)
Each line is the same calculation under a different preset — not an editorial verdict. Snapshot 2026-07-14.
When each one makes sense
Pick the RX 9070 XT when its scenario rows above lead and its current offer is at or below its 80+ target (balanced: $986). Pick the RTX 5070 Ti when its rows lead or its price falls below $973. Feature ecosystems (upscaling, drivers, platform) are not in these numbers — weigh them separately.
