how come? i7 is a sweet spot for me, i got it when it first released for my new build which didnt finish building due to ddr5 shortage and price hike until 6 month later.

Ordered my 6700xt (12gb) eariler, im seeing 3070(8gb) for 370$ and another one 400$. From the comparison reviews im reading it seems they are similar. The performance only starts to differ in 3070 favor is when rtx is turned on and gaming at 4k. Do you guys think its worth the 60-100$ more? I know i wont be gaming at 4k since these two gpu at 4k mostly performs under 60fps. So it boils down to do i need rt for 60-100$ more? lol idk i never had rtx with my 970 hahaha

Thanks, i have decided to get 6700xt by asrock suggested by RONOTHAN##. My only dilemma right now is if i should wait 3 more days for 4th of july sale or snag it right now with current 20$ off.

And thanks everyone for helping

thanks!

Yea im leaning 6700xt more now due to 12gb and about same performance as 3060ti. This might end up my first amd card ever. Price wise im seeing same for both on newegg around 350

true

Ah i see, that means 3060/3070 is also meets the bare minimum at 8gb. Im leaning more towards 6800xt now with 12gb

by the graph its seems 3060ti and 6700xt is pretty much the same. Will 3060ti be enough to hit high/max settings at 1440p in the next 3 years?

12700k i feel can last me at least half a decade for all my want and future proof. 13600k is abit extreme and the requirement for cooling.

Whats the recommended vram to get nowaday for modern games? Jesus 970 3.5gb were considered good, games now need recommendation of 12gb? Thanks for the suggestion but i try to stay away buying used electronics avoiding headache purposes.

Im in the se boat shopping for GPU lol, i have never owned a AMD, does it have ray tracing option? whats the main difference between amd and nvidia?

Never owned a AMD gpu before, AMD doesnt have ray tracing right? is rasterization similar to ray trace? I just checked userbenchmark it seems 3060ti is faster by a small margin

12700K, around 300 is where i feel comfortable buying a last gen gpu. I have looked at 3070 but its in the 430 range, i feel if im getting the 3070 i mind as well go for 4070 for 170 more.

I built my first pc back in 2015 with GTX 970, mobo died back in 2021. Last year i built a new pc and its a small form using meshlicious case and 12700K cpu. Im still using my gtx 970 but its kinda bad right now when im trying to play RD2 or any new title at 1080p at high or max settings. I need to upgrade badly but with the rtx 40 series price tag i dont have the funds to drop that kind of money or support the price hike tactic. It also seems the new release of 4060ti is also not a good buy. This brings to me 3060/3060ti, i mostly game at 1080p max/high setting’s preferred. My monitor is 1440p, i dont mind gaming in 1440p but will 3060/3060ti be enough to push modern games at 1440p high settings? I also plan to do some VR gaming in the future, is 3060/3060ti enough?
