I'm planning to buy a used GPU this year, and I've noticed that both the 3060 and 3070 are priced similarly in the used market, around 20,000rs (or about $212). My main goal is to play some demanding games at 1080p on Ultra settings. Also, I do some work where VRAM matters, but I believe 8GB should be sufficient for my needs. Which GPU would be a better choice?

Honestly, for 1080p gaming, 8GB should be more than enough for the foreseeable future. If you're prioritizing performance over VRAM, go with the 3070!
The 3070 is just a stronger GPU all around. While some may worry about the 8GB VRAM, it's plenty for 1080p gaming, especially right now.
If you're mostly gaming, I'd definitely recommend going for the 3070. It's almost 50% more powerful than the 3060, so you'll notice a solid performance boost in your games.
I've been using a 3070 at 1440p, and it performs beautifully. For 1080p gaming, it's going to give you an amazing experience even in the heaviest AAA titles.
Don't get too caught up on the 12GB of the 3060. Based on my experience, that extra memory isn't really useful since the 3060's overall power is pretty limited. I’ve got one, and it's only decent for older games without mods.
