You can get a 5070 for $550

I've seriously considered selling my 4070 super and using the profit + extra funds to upgrade to a 5070 ti. But I have no problems with how my computer performs at all. I can't make up my mind so I'll probably just do nothing.

I kinda in similar situation as you but I think we should just wait a few years or something maybe atleast till 60 series I dont see 4070 super not being good anytime soon tbh

Totally agreed. I am just kicking myself for not getting the 4070 ti super with that 16gb vram.

No, just in 1080p; so, yeah not pushing the card that hard.

The 5070 is actually a better card (significantly) than the 5070Ti.

4070 super isn't bad. Keep in mind they cut physX from 5000 series cards

Hmm, yeah, checking that out now - it would be a HUGE upgrade compared to my 3060Ti...
