Question I'm looking for advice on GPU upgrade ?

[Andrewj299]

My current PC specs are:
Nvidia Geforce 3060 12 gb VRAM
-Intel i7-14700K
-Samsung 990 pro 1 tb m.2
-Samsung 870 1tb sata
-Corsair 2x16 ddr5 c40 5600 MHz
-MSI Z790 Gaming plus WiFi
-NZXT H5 Elite
-Corsair ICUE 240mm liquid cooled radiator

My next upgrade is going to be my GPU, I was looking into getting a 5060TI with 16gb of VRAM, or the 5070 but have read iffy reviews on both. Any thoughts/recommendations on what GPU to go to for an upgrade?

Budget around $400-$750 or so

Why are you requiring an upgrade? Where are you located? What is your preferred site for purchase?

and the community will chime in with worthwhile suggestions.

Just an observation;
-Intel i7-14700K
-Corsair 2x16 ddr5 c40 5600 MHz
-MSI Z790 Gaming plus WiFi
The sweet spot for DDR5 platforms is a dual channel DDR5-6000MHz(or slightly higher) freqeuncied, tight latencied ram kits.

To add, you forgot to mention the make, model and age of your PSU. That will dictate what GPU you can upgrade to without other parts changing households.

Among those 2 cards, I suggest the 5070 since it's a lot faster and 12gb VRAM will be fine even at 4k for a couple more years.
