I'm considering two graphics card options: the 3060 Ti for $250 or the 3070 for $350. I'd love to hear your thoughts on which one is a better deal based on performance and value.

Here’s a comparison video that might help you decide! I found a used 3070 for $275, and it's working great with my Ryzen 7 5700x, handling most games at 1440p smoothly.
For the best value, I'd say the 3060 Ti is a solid choice, but if you're looking for more VRAM, consider the 6700 XT too. The 3070 is about 17% faster, but that comes at a 40% higher price. If you’re okay with the price jump, go for the 3070!
I'd lean towards the 3060 Ti, but a 6700 XT would be even better due to the extra VRAM. Some games at 1080p are struggling with only 8GB, so that added memory could make a difference.
Which games are having issues running on 8GB at 1080p?
You should definitely check out the performance differences first. The 3070 does offer a better speed, but it might not be worth the extra cash for your needs.
I bought a 3060 Ti for $200 last year, and $250 is a fair price these days. Just keep in mind the current shortage!
The 3070 does give about a 15% performance boost. If you think that’s worth another $100, then go for it!
That's a good point about the VRAM! I might need to look at my options on the marketplace.
