3060 Ti or 3070

[Sven69]

Hi All,
I'm currently running a GTX 1070 & have an urge to upgrade my Graphics card - what would be the best Bang for Buck on either a 3060 Ti or 3070.

Usually play Dayz, Tarkov & Squad - Current Specs are Ryzen 5 5600X, MSI MAG B500 Tomahawk, Crucial Ballistix 16GB.

Thanks in advance.

Depends on what resolution etc... but at 1440p I think the 3060Ti is the sweet spot for value.

3060ti is 66% faster than the 1070 at 1440p according to GPU Check.

3060ti, 3070 is 10% faster for a chunk more cash.

Monitor is only capable of 1080 so the 3060Ti would probably be a better choice then?

3060ti is even overkill but in a good way, so yes 3060ti is what you need don't waste the extra on a 3070 and up.

I would say the FE but it's out of stock atm. I liked my MSI Gaming X 1070 and ASUS are usually decent too. Probably best to go for the cheapest that still has a good warranty.

6700xt at £400 or 6750xt £420 is ok alternative. Not sure the 3070 is quite worth the extra. Nice to have available choices though - how things change!

Not really looked into the AMD Alternative - are they as buggy as people say - or has the Driver issue been sorted now?

LMAO. It's an urban myth.

nope. i had a fresh install and latest drivers, BIOS etc up to date, and still "grey screened" on me. Since I put my 3070ti in, its been stable as..

the drivers are no more "buggy" than Nvidia and in many ways AMD's display panel is better than the Nvidia one. If you read both driver threads both state issues depending on your setup. eg Nvidia one recent release didnt downclock the GPU after running an app/game. I wouldnt base your GPU decision on just the driver.

With regards to 3060ti the FE is a really good card. Undervolt/overclock and it not only runs cool but can just about equal default 3070 clocks. (I had both)

Undervolting/overclocking in Afterburner?
