I posted a couple of days ago about whether upgrading from a 3060 to a 5070 would be a good choice, but now I've found a deal for a used 4070 Ti going for $400. Considering my current build has a 5600x CPU and a 650W Corsair PSU, does this new option present a better value than the 5070?

I'm all about going for used GPUs! The 4070 Ti is still a powerhouse and outmatches the 5070.
The 4070 Ti is pretty much on par with the 5070 in terms of performance, so snagging it for $400 sounds like a solid deal.
As long as the used 4070 Ti is in good shape, it's definitely a better deal. They perform similarly, but it's really about whether you want a new card with a warranty or prefer to save $150 with a used one.
If you're looking to save some cash, sure, but I'd suggest considering saving a bit more for the 5070. For around $500, it offers a better feature set and slightly improved performance—especially depending on the games you enjoy.
I've heard mixed things about this. Some say the 5070 outperforms the 4070 Ti slightly, but they seem to balance each other out. It could come down to whether you want the advantages of newer tech, like frame generation and warranty. If you can negotiate the 4070 Ti down to around $350, it might be a no-brainer!
