Hey everyone! I recently ordered an ASUS 5060TI with 16GB memory for CAD 625, but Best Buy unexpectedly cancelled my order. I'm wondering if that's a blessing in disguise. I'm looking for GPU recommendations to upgrade from my current RX 580 for my build (you can check it out here: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/XfyW6Q). My budget is ideally under CAD 700-850 for the GPU. I really want something that will help me hit 144 FPS in games like Apex Legends and Rivals, as it's been a while since I've been able to do that. Thanks for your help!

Definitely go for the 5070! I have a 9600X paired with a 4070 Super, and the 5070 performs just slightly better than my setup. It's a great combo for that CPU.
I’d suggest considering the 5070 since it's within your budget. The performance difference compared to the 5060 Ti is significant—roughly a 30% boost at 1440p. Also, the pricing on AMD's 9070 (XT) is a bit tricky right now, so going for the 5070 seems like a solid plan.
Did you ever have issues with VRAM? Do you think it’s a good idea to future-proof by getting a card with 16GB?
