Short answer: 5-30% more fps at the cost of 30% more power usage
Longer answer: Buy the most expensive tier you feel comfortable dropping the money on. Realistically, for most players a 9070 (xt) or 5070 (ti) is going to more than suffice. The higher tier cards like the 7900xtx or 5080 use a lot more power and are probably overkill unless you must run everything max settings at 4k. Even if you don't care about electricity costs, there's still a noise price to pay for having to cool an extra 100-150 watts.

Money isn't the issue. 9070 will definitely suffice.Short answer: 5-30% more fps at the cost of 30% more power usage

My main reason for moving off of 3080TI isn't even graphics is that this will play nicer with my Linux setup now that I've decided to not move to Windows 11.

They trade wins depending on the game. 7900XTX is the faster raster card, while the 9070xt has noticeably better ray tracing performance and access to FSR4. The 9070XT should age better for more demanding games that require (and make more use of) ray tracing like Black Myth Wukong and Indiana Jones - the more of these types of games that are released the better the 9070XT will be by comparison. Where RT makes no difference or isn't used, the 7900XT will pull ahead. The +8GB VRAM on the 7900XTX likely won't be an advantage for pure gaming during the usable lifespan of the card. If I was buying today I would want a 9070XT.
