RX 9070 or even a RX 9070XT for an extra €80 if you wanted that extra bit but the value is in the former at that price. Extra 10% performce for 13% of price. A 5070 and a 9070 are basically the same day to day. However at 1440p, all the toys that Nvidia offer (DLSS, RT) make 12GB of VRAM an issue so you are buying something that you can't really use properly. The 5060ti 16GB are similarly priced now but are 30% slower than both so not really an option either.

Just scrub to the charts in the below video to get the comparions. They have chapters to make finding informaton easier as well.

At €300, the 5060 isn't bad at all if you don't want to go second hand but once you get between €400 and €700 it's 9060XT 16GB, 9070 and 9070XT. The 5060ti and 5070ti were a real options a few months ago but that has disappeared over the horizon. Similar story for the 5080. Nvidia just own mindshare and I completely understand why but be prepared to pay for it if you want to stick with them. Of course, this is all dependant on price so if you find a good deal that changes everything.

And something else to consider is you need a 12VHPWR connector for the 5070 and up. Google that for yourself as I don't want to poison the well but I'd be remiss not making you aware. Those two AMD cards just need to two 8 pin connections that you should have on your current PSU but you might confirm what PSU you have before pulling any trigger as even 9070 and 5070 would at bare minimum need something above a 550W PSU.

Oh, I've been lurking since the quake.ie days :)

As for 16GB of VRAM, over €400 I'd be expecting it these days and so do developers at this point as you can see above video.

60 cards are now being tipped for 2028. So put that to one side.

You can get a 9070XT for €650. 5070ti are going for around €950. On a day to day basis you'd be hard pressed to tell which is faster. They trade blows from game to game with the 5070ti being faster by around 5% at 1440p on average. Which is frankly impossible to tell with the naked eye.

You have to ask yourself if you can see value in that extra €300. Only you can really answer that. No judgement either. You want to buy what you feel comfortable with as well.

You didn't answer about the PSU by the way.

You are talking about a 20% upgrade. Which is not nothing but throw in DLSS you be getting 1440p60 on both the 3060ti and 5060ti. I like your thinking but you could end up with an upgrade that doesn't really show an uplift in day-to-day usage. @Wetbench4, have to ask, what is your use case here. What games are we talking about and it is to play then 1440p60 on high settings? Also still need that PSU question answered.

I switched from RTX 3080 10GB to AMD RX 9070 XT 16GB.

Apart from random crashes which I eventually realised were due to using only 1x split power cable (from a Corsair SF750) it's been a very good GPU.
