I've been considering upgrading my graphics card since my current 1660 Ti isn't handling things well anymore. I'm looking at two options: the Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 for $607 and the PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC Dual Fan for $502. Which one would be the better choice for performance versus cost?

Go with the 5070, but have you checked if there's a deal around $550? Honestly, the specific model won't massively change your experience as much as the price will. Just keep in mind the actual prices might vary by location.
The 5070 is often on sale more frequently than the 5060 Ti, which tends to sit static around the $500 range. So keep an eye out for deals, as it could end up being similar in price!
If we're talking USD here, the 5070 typically offers around 30% better performance for just a $100 difference, which is about 20%. It's pretty clear which is the better value here if your budget allows it!
Exactly! 30% more FPS for just 20% more cash is a solid deal. But if spending $600 is a bit tight for you, that could change things.
Here in Spain, $600 is indeed the best price available after conversion from euros, so it makes sense to grab the 5070 at that rate.
