Question 5060 ti 16 GB or 5070 12GB which to buy?

[Healer21]

So im looking to buy a GPU for 3d rendering and video editing. Which one of these should i choose.
Here the 5060ti 16GB cost about 575 USD and the 5070 12GB costs 760 USD.
Is the 12 GB VRAM enough for rendering editing etc and is it worth the extra money.
Totally confused.
HELP!!

Hmm, what software? Should be some benchmarks out there from puget systems.

Really going to depend on if your projects exceed the VRAM available.

blender, after effects, premiere pro, substance , nuke , unreal , marvelous designer and some davinci resolve

Probably neither. I would go AMD right now but between these two I know the 5060 ti isn’t great and the 5070 is NOT 4090 performance. It’s a tough decision right now

There is a little bit out there. 5060Ti is pretty new so not too many workstation/productivity reviews.

I would think that the higher bandwidth and the larger GPU would count for more generally. As shown in the Premiere Pro results above, but those other applications, I'm not sure.

9070 xt costs nearly 960 USD and unavailable

That was all about gaming, which the OP is not asking about.


OP: Worth it will be up to you to decide, after looking at benchmarks.

Ah gotcha. Technically 5060 ti because of higher vram count which will be import ant later on.

VRAM for gaming doesn't directly apply here. Just means that processing jobs will take longer since it will bleed over into system memory.

PCIe bus also becomes a factor, and the 5060 Ti is an 8x only card, cutting the bandwidth available in half. So even with 12GB exceeded, the 5070 may work faster at swapping data in and out of the card because of its x16 connection vs the 5060Ti.

That would take some pretty specific test scenarios though.

I said maybe 5060 ti. 5070 is still better here.

amd graphics cards are generally not that good for this type of work
nvidia has the edge in this department .

when it comes to rtx 5070 vs 5060Ti 16gb i would take the 5070 any time .
it will be much faster in the vast majority of tasks
the instances in which you may run out of VRAM may
not even occur (depending on the type of work)
or will be to few and far between to be considered an issue.
RTX 5070 is just a more robust chip - it has 6144 cuda cores vs 4608 on the 5060ti ,
it has almost double the amount of ROPS (80 vs 48), 192 TMUS vs 144
it also has higher memory bandwidth (672 GB/s vs 448 GB/s)
this will result in much better raw performance and the extra 4gb of VRAM will not make up for it ...

as you can see when it comes to premier pro , unreal engine , daVinci , blender and after effects
12gb rtx 5070 has no issues holding up and it is beating an old high end
like rtx 3090Ti which has double the VRAM demostrating that the amount of VRAM is not the main factor .
in some cases it is on par or even better than rtx 4080 .

when it comes to nuke rtx 5070 is straight up recommended .

in marvelous designer you are not adviced to use your gpu that much anyway and you will get
much better results using the CPU as your primary tool .

substance 3D is about the only program out of all that you have listed
in which you could potentially run into more VRAM issues
since 16gb of VRAM is recommended -
but even still i doubt it will be an issue most of the time
(again depending on the complexity of your projects) .

THANK YOU SO MUCH😁😁😁 . Guess the extra green will be worth it.

I would vote for 9070XT or a 5070TI. Cards this time (like the past several times) are bit over priced and hard to get.

Hope you find something that works for you. Out of these two always go for more VRAM you won't regret and can be able to sell it easier and upgrade later as well.

Both of these cards are way too over priced over here and out of stock.
Also it's way out of my budget.

@Eximo @logainofhades @dark_globe @sonofjesse
THANK YOU ALL for your suggestions.
Ordered the 5070 got it for 70USD less.
