When you combine both purchases you're touching on 9070XT/5070ti money I suspect.
Honestly I'd have waited a few months for the 5070 Super launch as a minimum if coming from a 4060 at this point in time.

bench difference's aren't enough to justify the price difference, that's just my opinion of course. but if i my budget was 350 i'd be buying a new 9060xt over a b grade 5060ti every day of the week. for a b grade, 250 up to maybe 280(at push) is where the ti would need to be to tempt me.
I honestly think most of them gains come from the god awful 4x Frame gen on the 50 series cards.

nowt at all wrong with b grade but the price has to be right - and a 5060ti at 350 isn't that unfortunately but i fear the op seemingly has form for poor purchase choices by the looks of things.
He didn't it seems offer a bid, which is a mistake, OC/UK are of course going to accept a straight price but, they certainly are willing to accept offers.

it's
all I did was front the money for my son who is waiting for his wage in 3 days time, he was set on getting a 5060ti anyway based on reviews showing the 5060to to be the better gaming card than the 9060, the cheapest new 5060tis are £400, that is why I made the thread, as I was excited to have savedihim £50..
..but by all means do please explain to me how to magic money up out of thin air, oand how to get the 4060 money back for him, and we can send this card back then get a 5070ti! as I explained in my previous reply to you that you obviously have not taken the time toreadroperly, he needed to upgrade togo 16gb to play his favourite game, because it has just stopped working because not enough vram
he needed the 4060 at the time because his gpu before that broke, looking back he should have got the 16GB version, but he couldn't afford it, so what is ******* better for him? having a working PC that he can play all his games on, or saving the money, for a 5 series gpu that had no release date, or price, vs having dead games, or a dead PC
the 4060 was only £250 for crying out aloud, it hardily spoilt his life spending that on having a working PC,the money is spent now and he has an upgrade, what is the problem jebus! a £250 4060 and a £350 5060ti doesn't even add up to a 5070ti, can you even do basic maths?
are you just trolling or what man? poor show from a mod.
at least he is working and paying for these small purchases himself
So what if I'm going to get him a 5070ti for his november birthday? that's my money, and I can do that if I like,
I'll wait while you try to come up with a sensible reply, that tries to troll even further at the same time, *sigh*
it's not my money!

that is £50 saving on a purchase that would have been made anyway
£50 is £50 man, he can put that towards his next pair of trainers.

which is what? if you close your eyes tight, and wish hard enough reality can be changed? £250 plus £350 is not 5070ti money!
you're*

No, but it’s 9070xt money which would spank what he has now.

I know this is going to sound condescending but there’s no other way to say it - I’d advise yo to tell your lad to create an account on here and have him ask for advice himself as and when he’s thinking on upgrades etc - because as it stands, he’s not getting the best of advice from whatever sources he currently uses.
I know you’re missing the point of the replies having just read this - no one is knocking him, or you, for your budgetary constraints - we all have them. My own absolute max is only 100 quid more at 450 but there is nothing at that price point, so I’m looking down the stack at 5060ti’s and 9060xt’s now myself. For me, the ti needs to be much closer in price to the 9060xt generally speaking - for reasons I’ll not bore you with. I’d absolutely bite on a bgrade on either brand at the right price - which for me has to be a max 3/4’s of the new (so min 25% discount give or take) which would have the ti needing to be 100 quid less than new at a minimum to even tempt me. For what it’s worth, among my reasons for that is you lose over 3/4’s of the warranty by going bgrade so I want at least 1/4 of the price off for that loss along with whatever potential issues led to the item being bgrade in the first place. That might seem extreme, perhaps, but it’s a purchasing rule I stick too and it’s never led me to buyers remorse on any used or bgrade purchases.

There's some B-Grade 9070's if you fancy trying your luck, I'm sure they'd take £450 or under, they're £499 currently new.
Here's one, I'm sure I saw another:
My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x B Grade PowerColor Radeon RX 9070 Reaper 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: BG-GRA-PWC-04020) = £499.99
Total: £507.98 (includes delivery: £7.99)
Worst case it sounds like a hive of angry bees and you send it back.

Still to rich for me given it’s bgrade - not enough saving compared to new. 450 is my max ‘new’ price - that’ll slide accordingly if the card is bgrade. If a 9070xt popped up for 450 bgrade I’d most certainly bite - I know I can but dream
hence me looking down the stack

Aye, my own gut tells me a bgrade 9070 (non xt) at ~400 quid isn’t completely beyond the realms of possibility, even for non super cool and awesome people
- to be honest if the right one appears I may well submit a ‘cheeky’ offer in that region explaining the rationale behind the offer - worst case scenario the chap ignores it out of hand or says ‘jog on you numpty’ 
not the end of the world either way.

It's is a little funny that the mods calls OCUK B Grade a waste of money
Maybe you should have bought a Zotac version brand new for £373 from a different website
Also, 'Wait for the next gen card' is usually terrible advice, putting aside not knowing exactly when they're coming out. If the next release is really good, it's a crazy scramble to get one and you could miss out. If the next release is crap, people rush to buy existing stock, so prices rise overall and you'll miss out and waste your time.
