 It would work. However you would be bottle necking your 3070 by a lot. It would be better to get a 3060 or 3060 ti and save the extra money.

Depends on your intended use case

 

What application? If games, what resolution, what refresh rate, and what games/genre?

Get the 3070, don't waste your money on the 3060 series. 

 

But as always,  get whatever you can get at this point.

"waste your money???"

 

The 3060 ti is amazing value at msrp. So is the 3070, but the 3060 ti should be considered.

Big nerd.

If you play at 1080p, a 3070 would be slightly to powerful today, especially if you play shooter games

But if you're not gonna upgrade your GPU for a long while, it's fine

 

Is that 1080p 144hz or 60hz? If it's 60hz I would recommend you go for a 144hz screen, go down to a 3060 if you have to squeeze some budget out for that upgrade

 

I would personally look at a 3060 for 1080p gaming today, and for the next three years at least, but of course I can't tell the future, things might improve rapidly and I wouldn't know

Nah, the 3060 is pretty crap, unless you need 12gb of vram.  3060ti is a better value but it's not a far jump to the 3070.

You said 3060 series

Meaning the 3060 and 3060 ti

For the extra dollars, the 3070 will perform better.  You're already going to spend way more than you should, so go all the way right now and it should keep up for years.

 

Irregardless, 😉 stock is the problem.

Agree with the stock statement, but "for the extra dollars" is obvious. For the extra dollars, a 1660 Ti will outperform a 1660 Super. For the extra dollars, a 5700 will outperform a 5600XT.

Both the 3060 ti and 3070 (at msrp) are great value, and the 3060 ti shoulnt be counted out.

Big nerd.
