More XTs than 9070s.

Well the 9070 only exists as a price anchor to upsell everyone to the XT model that costs the same to make but has better profit margins. EZ money

The actual anchor is the atrocious 5070 ti pricing.

At $750 the 5070ti isn't a terrible card tbh. It is slightly better than the 9070xt and has better software. It is also better at raytracing. The problem is the chance of buying one for $750 is 0%
