I'm trying to decide between getting the 5060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM or going for the 5070. My main concern is that I want more VRAM, but I also want a faster card. How noticeable is the speed difference between the two?

Go for the 5070—trust me on this one. You won’t regret it. Better performance will make your gaming experience much smoother.
In the grand scheme of things, a better chipset matters more than extra VRAM. Unless you're really into intense gaming mods that eat up VRAM, the 5070 is your best bet.
Definitely lean towards the 5070! The 12GB of VRAM is ample for 1080p and 1440p gaming. Don't let anyone scare you into thinking you need more just for casual use.
Here's a simplified breakdown: The performance varies with the card setup. 4x cards are slow and cheap, while 8x are faster. You might find that a 5070 Super could come out with better specs soon. If you can wait, that option might give you the best of both worlds.
Yeah, but how much better is the performance? I might consider the Ti since it's cheaper by around $200.
