Hi,
I can buy MSi Ventus 2x RTX 4070 12GB for a great price 400€.
Then I have another great deal for Gigabyte Gaming RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB for 745€.
Im gaming in 4K 60Hz.
My question is how today game stands in 4K resolution with 12GB VRAM?
If I can stay 3 years with 12GB on 4K its alright for me.
Or its a waste of money for 4K and for smooth experience its necessary to have at least 16GB VRAM?

TechSpot states that the RTX 4070ti is 21% faster than the RTX 4070 Super at 4k.

(20% slower at 1440p and 18% slower at 1080p).

Take a look around, the 4070ti is normally quite a jump but the performance increase is arguably justified.
Alternatively, if budget is an issue take a look at some RTX 3090s that might be available privately - it pushes similar performance to the RTX 4070ti but has excessively more VRAM. You do however lose the frame generation feature as a result.
