Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on which GPU to pick for my setup. I have a Ryzen 7 7700 processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 6000MHz, a B650 motherboard, and a 700W Bronze PSU. My monitor is a 1440p 240Hz display, and I'm trying to decide between two main GPU options: the RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM available for $499 or the RTX 5070 for $759. I'm also considering the RTX 4070 Super for $749 and the RTX 4070 for $692. I have a budget of $800 and want a GPU that will last me for a while. I'd love to hear insights, especially from those who have experience gaming at 1440p or have used DLSS 3 and 4!

The RTX 5070 is definitely the better choice for long-term performance. It's notably faster, and by the time 12GB of VRAM becomes limiting, the 5060 Ti might struggle to keep up with newer games. Just a tip, if you’re in the US, the 5070 is often available for less than $759—I've seen it for around $639 on Amazon!
While the 5060 Ti is a solid value and might fit your budget better, the performance boost from the 5070 (about 35% faster) is pretty significant. If you can stretch your budget for that extra performance, it might pay off in the long run!
I'm actually in Poland, and it looks like that specific model isn't available for shipping here. The ones I found have a $40 shipping fee on top of the price.
