I recently had to part ways with my 3080 12GB and I'm looking to replace it. In my area, I can't find another 3080 at around $300, but I've got some options: a 3080 Ti for $350, a non-super 4070 for $350, or a 5070 from Microcenter for $425. I'm not concerned about warranty—I just want the best performance for the money. I'm having a hard time deciding which one to go for.

Honestly, I'd steer clear of the 3000 series at this point. They’re getting older and not ideal for long-term use. Check out benchmarks and see how they stack up!
For just $75 more, the 5070 is definitely worth it. Forget the 3080 Ti; its value for performance isn't really that great right now. Plus, the 5070 uses less energy and handles ray tracing and other features much better.
Yeah, I’m thinking of going for the 5070 too since it actually performs better than a 3090 in games like BF6 at 1080p and 1440p. I saw some gameplay with DLSS, and it’s an uplift over a regular 3080. I couldn’t even hit 130 fps with my old one!
