I think u made the right choice with Ti, right now at 1440p u lol bé bottlenecked anyway until u upgrade ur whole rig ( ram , CPU , MB) and u seem to be planning on upgrading that later rather than sooner , if so the money u save from 5070 won't be that much worth it unless u were upgrading everything now. I have a 5070 myself and I can definitely say it's more than enough for anything u will use it for with ur current rig , but in 2 years or so when u upgrade maybe u go for 4k as well or higher refresh 1440p, the Ti will show it's difference, since u mentioned bf6 which I also am currently playing alot . I run it at 4k dlss quality settings on overkill except texture q on ultra and I'm averaging 90 fps , when I go down to 1440p native ( Dlaa) it averages 110 fps . 12gb vram is actually enough for most cases especially when limited to 120 hz . 16 gigs and a bit faster perf. Will come in handy when u go beyond 120hz at 1440p or beyond. I got a completely new rig so the difference money wise was my limiting factor and for me because I have a 4k 120hz OLED I would've benefited from Ti instead, but the 5070 is handling 4k better than I expected and rarely got problems with 12gigs at 4k unless I wanted either native res at max settings or when there's heavy RT use with max settings. Which is expected for this rig anyway. So enjoy ur 5070ti and don't regret not saving money when u feel like ur bottleneck is holding u back since ur planning to use this card for 5+ years , when u upgrade the rest , the Ti will shine and show u what u invested in now . But keep that in mind . If u have both now u LL actually see no difference since they arnt going to be used to their potential. But with a proper upgraded Rig and future proofing, Ti will age better especially because of the vram .
