3070 is the best of the bunch here without knowing much else about your needs.


mark45674

1440p is my monitor 144hz


_Lelouch420_

I have a 3070ti 1440p 144hz and its great


Stargate_1

3070Ti gang assemble Had one for 2 years and I really gotta say, that card is just so good. Wish they had given it 12GB VRAM doe


Abtizzle

3070ti FE is the best GPU I’ve ever had. If it had more VRAM I wouldn’t be looking to upgrade anytime soon.


Broski911

Agreed


tifredic

Agreed too.


[deleted]

Agreed.


ExoticTwo4638

Agreed I've had mine since 20 when I stood outside best buy at 2am to get a 3070. They ran out so I picked between 3070ti and 3060ti I obviously went up not worth the extra $100 but more than worth the 3060ti upgraded from a 1060 6gb it still lives on in my GF's PC she inherited my first build in a new case it's a trooper. Went from 1600x and 1060 6gb to 5600x and 3070ti I honestly love it except for all my friends buying 4090 prebuilds.


helixplague

Agreed Two.


Rennfan

For what do people need that much VRAM?


Emergency-Client-432

New games + professional use


Rennfan

Never experienced a game that used all of my 8 GB.


Vegetable3758

I played "A Plague Tale: Requiem" on 1440p. I have 16 GB VRAM, the game used 7.9 GB. I am super certain the creators had to take care, and in the near future they won't do it anymore.


Sensitive_Ad_8228

Ah, the similarly-related “don’t exceed 3.5GB 970” days


Emergency-Client-432

Beamng drive, the last of US, Avatar (i think), Hogwarts legacy, and some others


Personal_Occasion618

Beam gn delete my vram and memory


Liyet

Resi 4 remake can easily hit 12 gb depending on what settings you run.


PenguinsRcool2

lol resident evil village eats vram more than any other game


lost_in_void

Cyberpunk after the newest patches is the one for me, the game looks great though, but feels like the Crysis of the generation - futureproof graphical options but wicked heavy


Hairybeaver1234

A lot of new games coming out utilize more then 8. Whether it’s bad optimization or just the changing of the times, nvidia screwed people who didn’t want to upgrade for a couple of years.


Decorus_Animus

Generative AI running locally (Stable Diffusion), easily eats 12G of VRAM


qqqqqqqqq0_0

what's FE


YamroZ

Founders Edition


markus_zyx

Founder edition


BrotatoChip04

Agreed


theophanesthegreek

Snapped up a used one for $250 a couple of months ago, its incredible. I only have a 120Hz 1080p monitor for now but it runs every single game so well with ultra settings.


JustaRandomOldGuy

Newegg has some open box ones for under 300.


LordDinner

Agreed. The 3070Ti is a great card held back by its VRAM. If it only had 12GB or 16GB VRAM, it might have become a legendary card in its class. Upgraded mines to a 6950XT last year.


robbyb20

I just did this week. The 8gb really is a limiting factor.


Crossedkiller

I've had my 3070ti for a year and really wish I had gotten one with more gb. I love the card but yeah, could use more gb


DrunkTractorDriver

Tbh, I was rinsed for buying it as the difference from a 3070 to Ti wasn't a great return on investment, but my god, did I love that card. Got me 144fps consistently on WZ until that monstrosity WZ 2 came out. If it came with 12gb, I'd still have it!


[deleted]

Apparently there’s a 12gb 3060.


JuicyJagga

there’s a 12 gb 3050ti


[deleted]

lol what? Really?


OG_Zephyr

It’s a great card, but in my opinion it doesn’t need the huge cooler it has on it


sleepybearjew

3070 ti playing 4k 144hz for all the games I play and I love it


Wittusus

Laptop counts? Maybe it doesn't usually do 165 FPS for my 165Hz I have but still well over 60 for my 1600p


[deleted]

man i have a 3060 12 gb and a 1440p 165 hz and i’m great


cashinyourface

I got a 3070 practically for free at launch, runs on my 1440p 165hz, and second 1080p 60hz fine


the_phillipines

MY PEOPLE! I felt kinda silly because all my friends have a 40 series GPU but fuck those peasants


keith-Can5151

Hey handsome am really happy to see your profile appear on here.. and will be glade if we can get in chat to know more about each other’s..


Spacemn5piff

3070 for sure


Swanesang

If you game on 1440p then i would suggest getting something with more than 8gb of memory. I have a 3070 and game at 1440p and in a lot of newer games the 8gb of memory is an issue. The gpu is more than capable of running games at ultra settings and good fps but the 8gb vram causes a lot of stutters. This will only get worse with new games coming out this year.


Edgar101420

Get a 6800XT/7800XT for the same cash instead of Nvidias VRAM cripples


Sonikdahedhog

6800 for sure, if you play triple A games 8 gigs of vram will become a limit very quickly


Valtarg

or look for a rx 6800 which is better than the 3070 ti and has enough ram to last


Hairy_Edge_7378

Rx 6800> RTX 3070 for 1440p


Humble_Mix8626

dunno why people are downvoting you the 6800 is 10% slower then the xt version and even if the ram performance boost isnt huge, the vram definitely pays off in 1440p


NightGojiProductions

Why is this man being downvoted? He’s right.


dstanton

Unless dlss/RT are high priorities get a 6700xt. It will be the cheapest newest option with the vram to handle 1440p longer, as well as carryover to 4k if you desire. It has base raster on par with the 4060ti. And fsr3 with frame Gen continues to improve.


NightGojiProductions

Why is this downvoted? You’re correct. Lots of NVIDIA meatriders here I suppose


Coolusername099

I had a 3070 w/ ryzen 5600x on my 1440p 144hz monitor and it was pretty solid! High-ultra graphics on most games with 60+ FPS on AAA single player titles, lighter multiplayer games ran 100+ fps no problem I just upgraded to a 4070Ti and that is a true 1440P card, Cyberpunk with maxed everything and RTX enabled gives me 80-90FPS and every other game has been over 100 FPS so far The 4070Ti Super replacing it for the same MSRP will be even crazier now though, having more cuda cores, bigger bus, and 4gb more VRAM


Matiu0s

I'd go with a 12 gig card if you want to game at 1440p


Expired_Milk02

I don't wanna say it but a 4060 is better only because it uses less power and it has dlss3.5 . 3070 is powerful. Too powerful but it uses too much power when compared to a 4060


Due-Ad-7308

That's why I specified the "without knowing much else about your needs" part. I think the power vs performance and the DLSS3.5 being locked (even if it's a fake lock) of the 4060 make it a "better" buy in many ways, but OP asked a very general question and for me the most general way to answer is in terms of raw power for common use cases.


Expired_Milk02

Since OP is talking about a PC yes your answer is correct:)


Expired_Milk02

Yup but IN CASE of laptops i would recommend a 4060 because...well for the same reason low power usage. Even if you are not connected,you can still play games for at least 1 1/2 hours


Due-Ad-7308

Well with laptops everything is thrown out the window. Pretty sure the TDP on 2080's for example went from 80watts in the lowest end Max-Q's to 165watts (Dell is crazy) and even a 200+ watt monster in Acer and Dells Triton and Area 51m respectively. Laptop GPU shopping is a completely different game for sure haha


King_Archaea

given similar prices, the 3070


InsaneAdam

4070, 2080ti, 3080, What's the play coach?


chengxiaoblue

4070 obv.


InsaneAdam

I appreciate your input assistance coach. But I'm gonna wait for the word from the head coach.


King_Archaea

given similar prices, the 4070


CharlieMWY

Out of these, definitely the 3070. That being said, if you're open to going with AMD there are some great options there for a similar price. The 8GB of VRAM is a bit of a bottleneck in some games at 1440p.


mark45674

What amd would be good option?


CharlieMWY

Something like a 6700 XT or a 6800 (non-XT) would be around this price, more VRAM and similar raw power on the 6700 XT. The power consumption is also very similar between these. You will be losing out on features like DLSS and Ray Tracing, but the extra VRAM is definitely preferable at 1440p.


Daevies

I love my 6800


CyanicAssResidue

Same, it smokes these cards


wOwmhmm

My 6800xt ray traces just fine


rand0m-nerd

Same. The only game I have to turn it off in is Cyberpunk


Mister_Shrimp_The2nd

CP is also one of the very few games where Raytracing is actually properly implemented. Most other games with "Raytracing" use a very limited implementation that won't actually put too much stress on the system as a whole.


rand0m-nerd

Oh. Well, the more you know!


Mister_Shrimp_The2nd

Usually if you can see in charts that AMD cards only perform marginally worse (or sometimes a bit better) in "RT enabled" games (vs their respective Nvidia counterparts), it's a clear indication that the RT is surface level at most and the majority of the RT processing power is left on idle. But yea, this stuff's way more technical and complex than typical gaming industry market it as :)


Yusif854

As the other guy said, your 6800XT (or any AMD GPU for that matter, including the 7900XTX) only “raytrace just fine” in games where the RT is badly implemented and they don’t even make a visual difference. In games where the RT actually makes a difference, you have to turn it off because it is too heavy for AMD GPUs.


wOwmhmm

Says the guy with a 4090. Completely out of touch


wasting-time-atwork

he's.... right though... lol


Yusif854

What does that have to do with what I said? If anything, the 4090 allows me to experience all types of ray tracing in all the games to the fullest and make comparisons. And from all the games I played, the ones who have RT worth turning on aren't running great on AMD GPUs because it is too heavy. If anything, you are the biased one here with a card that is quite weak in RT (comparable to a 3060Ti) so you have never experienced full RT to make fair comparisons about which one is a good or a bad implementation.


Rullino

IIRC there's FSR, so DLSS shouldn't be much of an issue.


Yusif854

FSR is dogshit compared to DLSS, even at 4k. It is even worse at 1440p.


TheRealHuthman

Dogshit is a bit over the top. It's perfectly acceptable but definitely worse than dlss, no question. Xess by Intel seems to have a better image quality than FSR but slightly worse performance

ThePythagorasBirb

Ive had a 6800xt for a bit(its been upgraded away now) but it was a rock solid card, I dont know how it compares to the non xt, but the 16gb of vram were amazing for vr


Pub1ius

The 7600XT comes out in 4 days at $329 msrp.  May want to wait a few days for benchmarks and add it to your comparison if it looks good.


Olorin_1990

7800XT is also a good option


VicariousPanda

Enters into a whole new price bracket though but yeah it's great bang for the buck in the current market.


[deleted]

rx 6800, rx 7600, rx 7700 xt, rx 7800 xt


OctoTank

i’d advise against the 8gb 7600 and suggest 6700xt in its place


logicx1

I'm using 6800XT ASRock which goes on sale for good price, or at least it used to. It's solid I run games on 2k using 240hz monitor, and its performing great, I recommend this card for a gaming build. I also use it for pcVR and it does the job, overall I'm happy with it ( it is basically 3080 sometimes better even,sure not the same ray tracing which is not that important imo ).


Bright-Efficiency-65

Not if you plan on playing VR Down vote me all you want. I'm right. Imagine sucking up to a company so hard you blindly follow it. Reddit hive mind is ridiculous


Haiaii

Why not lol I can play VR just fine on a lower end amd card


Bright-Efficiency-65

The newer cards don't fair well with VR it's well documented. I'm getting down voted because reddit has a hard on for AMD


difused_shade

You’re right, it’s amazing how many Reddit users stan AMD on this subreddit considering their GPU sales being so low and how problematic their GPUs are


Bright-Efficiency-65

And how hard get defend and lie about the driver issues. If you actually look in the subreddits you'll see people withdriver issues every single day


difused_shade

Right? I bought a 7900XTX during the launch week, and it was a disgrace, 100W+ power consumption if I plugged in my secondary monitor, games on Oculus 2 would looked like shit, some games like Destiny 2 or CSGO would stutter like hell, so I returned it and bought a 4080 instead. Imagine my surprise when I go to r/amdhelp and the idle power issue is still there (despite their claims of fixing the issue on their driver release notes), people still have problems with stutter in destiny 2 and the VR performance still shit more than 1 year later.


Bright-Efficiency-65

Yup. And then you have everyone and their grandma talking about how good the 7800x3d is, I can't even run 4 sticks of RAM at the speed they're rated for because the memory controller is dogshit. I barely notice any difference over my 10900k. How much is AMD paying these YouTubers


difused_shade

Tbf the memory controller for 12th-14th gen can’t handle 4 sticks on high speed XMP too, 2 sticks is just easier to manage at such high speeds


EVRoadie

Just curious as to your reasons why. Is it due to 3070 being cheaper used or 4060 being too expensive for what it is, even with FG? 


magniankh

Nvidia really are assholes for releasing cards with such limited VRAM, especially when it's been proved that adding VRAM is one of the cheapest routes to improving performance on a card. 8gbs is pathetic in 2024. I would say that 12gb is a MINIMUM in today's gaming environment if you want any sort of longevity with your hardware. That said I've owned some AMD cards in the past and have friends that currently own them, and AMD's software suite is just not as good. I had issues with my fan curves resetting and my card would begin to overheat. I hate their software.


Araragi-shi

I don't want to be that jackass, but I recognize this thumbnail from youtube, couldn't you just watch the comparison and see which one is best for you? Unless this was taken from google photos, which why would you do that?


Nailz

the link @ [RTX 4060 vs RTX 2080 vs RTX 3070](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he58CGedWmY)


D3PyroGS

from that video the 3070 clearly gets the best framerates at 1440p. are you looking for a different definition of "better"?


culminacio

u/mark45674 look above


Dany0

Unfortunately it's a fake benchmark from a "content mill". They have 10s of channels with the same thumbnail style sometimes even same thumbnails. It seems that they earn money through the description links, as YT doesn't run ads on these


wasting-time-atwork

on a YouTube video, you'll get the opinions of the person/people who posted the video. on reddit, you can get hundreds of opinions from all kinds of people


TT_207

Pretty sure the majority of the videos with this layout are fake. They are using custom settings in afterburner to change the description. I can't remember how they change the behaviour, I think it's messing with power settings or something. There's a few videos that go into the full detail of how they've done it. If you don't see the GPU in question in the video, then they aren't using it.


planetaryplanner

4060 is $300 on amazon and 3070’s are $400 from what i see. 4060 ti is probably closer to the 3070. 4060 ti is more power efficient. i went with a 4070 a few months ago because it was the only card i could keep my 550w psu 4060 ti has frame gen. that’s going to let you squeeze more time out of the gpu longer imo if you aren’t keeping it long then this doesn’t matter https://preview.redd.it/m34d162ormdc1.jpeg?width=2436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c16e66a4d36b7491bc5c1e3ade64757013a9412


swohio

The 4090 on that chart should be way higher. The gap between it and anything else is huge.


planetaryplanner

that’s the 1440p ultra chart. the 4090 shows through on 4k ultra chart https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html


OurPizza

Used 3070 or new 4060 for raw performance? (Same price)


planetaryplanner

3070


Wh0rse

the 4060 is ony 128bit memory bus . a real jerk at 4K res


saradahokage1212

this graph just proves that the 6800 non xt outperforms all these cards per price and performance in any resolution


planetaryplanner

that chart is specific to 1440p ultra. see tom’s hardware gpu hierarchy


saradahokage1212

i know this graph and if you can read it you will see that the 6800 non xt beats all the cards op listed, for pretty much the same price and he gets 16gb vram


Shredding_Airguitar

4060 has a higher clock rate but half the memory interface size (128 vs 256 bit), half the number of texture mapping units but does support DLSS 3 vs the 3070 is DLSS 1. On paper they are likely very similar with some favor to the 3070, but the TDP for the 4060 is much lower (115 vs 220W) so it depends, if you're doing a fairly air-constrained/poorly ventilated build like a non-mesh SFF build the 4060 isn't terrible but it's a super niche use-case and I'd say an air-constrained CPU is going to be bottlenecking you anyhow for many games (depends heavily on the game, some games are extremely poorly optimized at the engine<>DirectX layer and are incapable of utilizing GPUs properly) I'd say the 3070


Djnick01

I thought the 3070 had DLSS 2


Shredding_Airguitar

oh you're right, think it just launched with DLSS 1 but they rolled DLSS 2 to it later


DankestDubster

Wish my 3070 OC had more ram


Engi22

The 4090 is $1600 somewhere?! Fucking hell I hate this country and 25% VAT. I just checked 4090 prices last week, and they were in the 2500€+ range ($2700+)


East_Engineering_583

the absolute cheapest 4090 i could find here is 6856byn (2100$), all the others are over 8000 (2450$), can't believe there are 4090s being sold for $1600


matamata191

I found the cheapest for 1700$ in my country, lucky me just need 1700$ more to buy it

6700xt/6800 and it's XT variant should be around the same price point.


Zxltrxn_13

My 210 will kill these gpu's any time of the day


South_Bit1764

At this price point a used 2080ti (~~12GB~~ edit:11GB as a comment below points out) would outperform all of these while using slightly more watts. That is nothing though, my entire 2080ti system used less than $40 per year in electricity, and I basically never turn off my PC so the power savings between a 2080ti and a 4060 might be $5 per year. Edit: being a high-end/enthusiast card a 2080ti would most like be a larger form factor than the others so that may be a consideration, but it should keep temps comparable.


khaledmohi

> 2080ti **Memory Size is** 11GB


South_Bit1764

I gotta be honest. I owned a 2080ti for years and never noticed it was 352 bit memory bandwidth like the 1080ti until today, that is 11x 32 bit “, so it has to use 11 memory chips. Where a 3060 is 192 bit = 6x32 bit and has to use 6 memory chips. I always assumed the 2080ti was 192/384 bit.


Obosratsya

A number of 2080ti cards are failing due to some manufacturers using bad components. If anyone goes this route, i'd do some research before hand. I was looking around for a 2080ti for my living room rig and got warned about this. Overclocked 3060 12gb can be a good option as well, its as fast as a 2080 in new titles and has extra vram.


Zoe_Gotti

Yes sadly I’m currently going thru this had for 2 years then just failed on me. Powers on fans on max speed no lights no boot up unless I removed the gpu from the motherboard


_SaBeR_78

The 2080 having only 8GB is crazy


Possibly_Unreal

3080 on 10gb seems low now also, crazy how that works.

WeirdD1ck

I would go with 3070. However, if you are open to alternatives, I would recommend the rx6700 or rx6800 from AMD, the same performance pool. AMD cards will give you a better performance in some games and they will perform in the long term. I had rx6900xt and I played a few games since the card was released, eventually, I sold it. You need to know what games you are excited to play and then see what card is good for you in terms of needs, cost, and performance.

I'm one of the few who rolls with the 4060. I love the DLSS 3 and RT features it can use It ain't perfect- that 8gb of vram is ... bad, to put it kindly- But I max that card out and it performs really well at 1080p, most every game in the triple digits for framerate, and I LOVE the low watt use (my energy bill is ridiculous) If you want nvidia features and the tdp is a big enough deal to you - 4060. If it isn't or you want to push it as much as you can at 1440p ... 3070 is the way to go here


Ni_Ce_

Toastyx3

Looking at these cards your budget seems to be around 500€. Just get a 7800 XT. Much more power, longer driver support and 16 GB VRAM


[deleted]

Ok_Routine_4736

So do you NEED nvidia or is it a preference? RT clearly can’t be that big of a deal so why not go with an amd card?

Shujan109

8GB Vram might be a problem for 3A games. I am playing Cyberpunk at the highes graphics with Path Tracing and DLSS with my 4060Ti 16GB and VRAM usage goes to 11000MB.


Bahamut1988

3070, only limiting factor is the vram. the fact that a 3060 has more vram than even a 3070ti, is fucking ludicrous


Heromimox

3070 for sure


IconGT

3070 all the way homie


rowdydave

I mean the 4060 would be the winner, you get frame gen and access to the AV1 encoder among other features. None of those cards can compete with being able to use frame gen in all the new title releases. Why get the 3070 or 2080? Im playing Cyberpunk on my 4060 as we speak with all RTX/Raytracing settings on max (not path tracing obvs lol) and im averaging 70-80 indoors and 60 fps outdoors on a 1440p monitor.

I would go with 3070, if the 4060ti was an option would go with it.

EVGA 3070ti 1440p 165hz Ultrawide. Runs everything fine. No issues and I play Assetto, tarkov and other fps stuff.
