Fully agree with that last sentence. I wasn't able to get the card I wanted at launch, and refuse to play these games with their MSRPs since then. Not a chance I'm going to encourage the price hiking, and I'm fine waiting however long I need to buy a card at the advertised MSRP - for myself however, it's for a 9070 XT... It sucks that lots of people don't do the same, but I get it. I am curious though, in earnest, about your remark about the 9070 XT vs the 5070 Ti - and not to debate or attempt to convince, just genuinely wondering assuming you're speaking of gaming - why do you mention the performance difference between the two being so stark? The 5070 Ti does certainly beat the former in efficiency, but all of the benchmarks I've seen have put them almost equal to each other in performance, with the two more or less trading blows depending on the game, and the overall difference around about 5% in favor of Green. Again, just curious! Not wanting to argue, the assertion was just intriguing to me.

I've been thinking about getting a new phone - I'm currently using the Samsung S20+. Looking at a comparison website, I think my only concerns are the resolution and possible sound downgrade. But for that price I think it might be worth trying out.
