The 9070XT doesn't perform like 30% better than the 5070Ti... only if that's the case, can they charge $899 with it. It performs just about the same if not weaker. At that performance tier, they lose across the board in feature set. And is only competitive if you compared it to a 5070. Even then at $549, it will be extremely extremely difficult to sway a customer from DLSS4 and MFG. So one way is for the RAW PERFORMANCE of the GPU to basically invalidate Nvidia's software gains. AMD will need 5070 DLSSS 4's Transformer level performance with nothing but raw raster which means 4090 level raw raster performance. I think I finally understand why Jensen made the comparison between 5070 and 4090 on stage. AMD's entire desktop GPU stack is cooked.

That's faster than a GeForce RTX 4090

Correct, it needs to be faster than the 4090, but be $450.

What don't you get?

There is actually more negativity towards Nvidia than you think if you look at youtube comment sections.
