Upgrade path from 3060ti for 1440p
I'm having a hard time deciding on which card to upgrade from my 3060ti for 1440p.

Right now the 5070 is about 600 USD on average, the 9070xt is 750 and the 5070ti is, well, 900 usd at the cheapest. All price are converted from my local price to USD.

Should I go for 5070 or 9070xt because 5070ti seems like a lost cause at this point.

The 5070 is good for my budget but it only has 12GB VRAM and I'm not sure whether to make the jump to AMD for the 9070xt.

Or maybe it's best to wait for further price drop?

Any help is appreciated.

12gb is the MIN for 1440.....and yeah there are really good sales right now with a stock 5070 coming in at 550 if your willing to count a gift card of a 140 dollars

it will do OK at 1440....is it the greatest??....right now for the dollar per frame it is.....and that sucks.....

I'm from South East Asia and the prices are bumped up like crazy here. It's really hard to find any card not 100 bucks above MSRP.

Only you can decide.
The 9070xt is a better card than the 5070 but overpriced in many regions. 5070Ti is better than 9070xt due to better upscaling but it’s also overpriced.
If available at MSRP then 9070xt or 5070Ti would be a great option.

Overclockers UK has an option to pre-order 5070Ti for £650 and it would be my pick in my region if I was buying a GPU right now.
5070Ti and 9070xt seem to me to be the sweet spot for the best value this generation if at msrp.
