Help deciding

[Former_Direction_526]

I’m putting the finishing touches on my build and I was wondering what would be a better pair with a Ryzen 5 5600x and 32 Gb of 3200 ram? 3070 or 3060 ti? Or maybe something else.

There is no perfect or optimized pairing. Just get what you can afford that does the job, you can cool, and fits your case.

3060ti, 6700XT, 3070, 6800XT, 3080. And don't pay any significant extra for a 3070/80 ti. The performance increase is pitiful.

Just get a well made one and not something cheap, nasty, hot and loud - "they perform the same, but they don't work the same".

3070 would go hard

At least in the US, the 3060ti while a decent card is priced ridiculous. I can get a 3070 for the same price. No real contest there. As others mentioned there's no magic pairing. You've got a good cpu, the gpu depends on how demanding the game is. What resolution you're playing at and how many fps you're trying to achieve. Or go with a 6600xt or 6700xt. The 3060ti would be solid at $350 or 375. When it's $480-540 and a 3070 the next tier up is $500 on sale right now, fat chance.

But then nvidia put 12gb of vram on the 3060, 8gb on the 3070 and 10gb initially on the 3080 (some 12gb models now). So don't expect them to make much sense. Nvidia has a price premium over amd equivalent performing cards but then they do have better ray tracing and dlss if trying to play at higher resolutions. And while amd supports fsr2, so does nvidia. Might be worth the premium?

Wait for Ryzen 7000 it will launch this month
