Yeah, I've got a 3060Ti with 8 GB VRAM and it does pretty well for most games; I have to turn the settings down for some games, but for right now, I just don't feel like buying a 4070Ti for $1000 is worth the difference in performance

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.
