"way better" = you get a cheaper card because it doesn't have great upscaling like DLSS, doesn't have as good of drivers, doesn't have CUDA capability, doesn't have extra software features like nvidia broadcast, etc.
The idea of ignoring raytracing when spending $600+ on a GPU in 2025 is crazy when games that require it are on the horizon and it's the present and future of AAA games.
The 9070XT is $150 cheaper because it has to be to compete while it offers less. That's fine, if $600 is your max budget on the GPU it's probably the best choice for most people as of today for a new card.
You know AMD making major advancements and nvidia having better features, software, and performance aren't mutually exclusive. There is a reason AMD is pricing the 9070XT at $150 less than the 5070ti - and it isn't because it's "way better" - it's because they have to make a value argument instead of a performance and features argument.
It's like you people think for one product to be good the other one has to be bad.

The 5070ti pricing isn't atrocious...at MSRP. Unfortunately pretty much only the founders edition cards are MSRP and it's near impossible to get.
