Is the RTX 5070 Ti worth $200 more than the RTX 5070?

For 1440p gaming, yes — the 5070 Ti's 35% more CUDA cores and 33% more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB) deliver noticeably better performance at 1440p ultra settings. For 1080p gaming, no — the 5070 is already overkill at 1080p, and the extra performance won't be visible.

How does the RTX 5070 Ti compare to the RX 9070 XT?

The 5070 Ti wins on ray tracing (~2x faster) and feature set (DLSS 4, Frame Gen). The RX 9070 XT wins on price ($599 vs $749+ MSRP) and slightly better rasterization efficiency. For pure rasterization gaming at 1440p, the 9070 XT is the better value. For ray-traced games or if you want Nvidia's software ecosystem (DLSS, ShadowPlay, NVENC), the 5070 Ti is the better choice.

What PSU do I need for the RTX 5070 Ti?

700W minimum, 750W recommended for headroom. The 5070 Ti has a 300W TDP, but transient power spikes can hit 350W. If you're upgrading from an older GPU, you likely don't need to replace your PSU.
