7900xtx Nitro+ vs 9070 xt Taichi?

[Sojuuk]

I currently have a Sapphire 7900xtx Nitro+ and am considering an ASRock 9070 XT Taichi as a side grade and slight power usage reduction so I can give my niece the old 7900xtx and 5950x combo. I have been looking over lots of reviews and it is hard to find these two cards directly compared for some reason even though they APPEAR to occupy exactly the same spot on performance charts. What I am wanting to know is if anyone can confirm or deny that I am basically doing a side grade and wont notice any real performance difference except in raytracing efficiency?

From my research before going to a 5090 from my 7900xtx. Its a aide grade wkth slightly better RT performance everything else swaps around. FSR 4.1 is better on the 9070xt.

As long as i am not LOSING more than 8% performance I will be okay with that. I am not looking for an upgrade and instead considering a performance side-grade and efficiency upgrade while my niece inherits a great performing computer.

Sounds like a worthwhile sidegrade to me - plus the niece happiness gains pushes the sidegrade into upgrade territory.
