I'm setting up a budget gaming rig primarily for 1080p gameplay with plans to upgrade to a 1440p monitor in the future. I'm trying to decide between the RTX 3070 and the RX 6700 XT since they're around the same price point. What are your thoughts on their performance for AAA titles?

It really boils down to whether you prefer ray tracing or want better future-proofing. If you value ray tracing, go for the 3070. But if you want a card that handles more VRAM, the 6700 XT is the way to go. They both have their strengths!
I’m a fan of the RX 6700 XT! It runs beautifully for 1440p gaming and handles modern titles like a champ without VRAM being an issue. Plus, when I bought mine, the price was significantly lower than the RTX 3070, making it a fantastic value.
For 1080p gaming, the RTX 3070 is a strong choice, but for 1440p, you might want to lean towards the RX 6700 XT since it has more VRAM. Just keep in mind that neither card is truly ideal for 1440p performance in modern titles.
That's great to hear! Prices on GPUs can be wild sometimes. It's all about finding the best deal!
