Which is the best 9070 XT out of these?

I did not use any of the RT features except reflections, in 2077 when I played. Because I can't really tell when the other RT features are running anyways, beyond areas looking darker. It's been a good while since I fired that game up, but it was probably 20-25% performance hit for reflections on high. That was on Intel ARC A750. A little XeSS got the performance back. You should be able to use FSR 4 which is even better.

Frame generation is not going to help with a base frame rate of 35-40 fps. The input lag is too severe to make it worthwhile.

If you go into the afterlife club.. some of the lasers are different looking with RT on..

I won't exactly say they're better.. they just look different but at quite the FPS hit.

Hey, you never know until you try, right?

I'm still not sold on RT

Seems a gimmick like 3d honestly..

It's nothing like pixel shaders like the first time in Morrowind you saw water have reflections and waves.

You know the start of the Bart/Homer show theme song where it goes "The Simpsonsssssss"???

That's what Nvidia has made people expect from RT. That's why it often disappoints. It's a lot less impactful than good HDR.

Or like HDR 1000. See it to believe it. When your eyes get tricked into believing that headlights or lamps on screen are actual glowing light sources and not just flat pixels with a different color.
