Upgrading GPU
I have a RTX 3070, which is fine for what i do. But i have a bit of spare money i could put on an upgrade. RTX 4070 is like 700-800 ish CDN and 4060 is maybe 400-500.

Is it worth upgrading?

Personally, I'm waiting for an RTX 5070 before I upgrade from my RTX 3070.

Neither of these cards
It's not worth upgrading from one generation to another.
Not to mention the fact that the 4060 is slower and therefore a downgrade compared to the 3070 and surely not worth 500 bucks, the 4070 is around 20-30% faster than the 3070, putting it around the 3080 in terms of performance, but also not worth it.

You need atleast around 800 to 1000 bucks (4080, 7900 XTX) to get twice the performance of your 3070.

This, if you want to upgrade from your GPU.

The mistake was getting a 3070 at all. The VRAM on those was never enough.

This is why I insisted on 3080 10GB and 3080 Ti 12GB (they later released 3080 12GB as well)

I would just sell the 3070 now while you still can get something decent for it.

Could sell your 3070 and get 4070 Ti Super.

I build my own machines.

I was having a 1080, this one was an upgrade. The 3060 would have been enough, but i forked that extra dough for a 3070.

I don't usually sell those. I keep them, replace parts in the computer i'm using and eventually, i make a new machine i plain sell. Which... amounts to the same thing.

Buy yeah, i'll hold on for a new gpu.
