I'm trying to decide between a 5070 and a 5060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM for gaming at 1440p. I'm feeling a bit conflicted since many games aren't well optimized, so having the extra VRAM could be beneficial. However, I know the 5070 is more powerful overall. Additionally, I've heard rumors about both the 5060 Ti and 5070 Ti being discontinued, which adds to my uncertainty.

If you’re thinking about the 5060 Ti, just remember, any game that really needs over 12GB to run well at 1440p probably won’t run smoothly even on that card. So the additional VRAM isn't a real game-changer for it.
I think the 5070 is definitely more powerful overall, but if you’re concerned about future-proofing, keep in mind that you usually only need more VRAM for very demanding titles or high-end settings. For the majority of games, 12GB should suffice.
I've heard people suggest the 9070 as a viable option as well. Might be worth checking out if you're looking for something that balances VRAM and power.
If you're gaming at 1440p, the 5070 is the way to go. Most modern games won’t truly need more than 12GB of VRAM to run smoothly, so I wouldn't stress too much about that extra gigabyte. The performance boost from the 5070 will definitely make a difference in your experience.
