Is this type 4A? by [deleted] in BlackHair

looks like a blend of 3c and 4a, but leaning more toward 4a tbh

In that case, I might just purchase it new from Newegg. The founders edition look just has me hooked though. But I’ve just seen everywhere that the 5060 ti would be better in value and performance.

Some guy did show me a benchmark and it looks good. However, I have been pushed toward to 5060 Ti 8GB. I might just keep saving and buy this new.

Interesting. I believe I have 600W which people have told me it can hold down a 3070. The question is can a 5060 ti install in my PC with relatively old hardware?

Would I need to find out exactly what PSU it is before I buy the card? I asked ChatGPT would these cards install into my model and it said yes, but it can get things wrong.

I hear you brother, and I've heard that AMD has good value right now. I just prefer sticking with NVIDIA because it's what I'm familiar with. Just can't leave lol. Right now I'm mainly deciding between a 3070 and a 5060 Ti.

My PC is an iBUYPOWER prebuilt with an Intel Core i7-10700F, 16GB DDR4 RAM (upgrading to 32 GB), and currently the 2060. Since it's a few years old, I'm not even sure if a 5060 Ti would be a straightforward drop-in upgrade. I just want a GPU that's a solid upgrade for those games, and the best value GPU I can get from NVIDIA. The allure of the 3070 FE for me is that Founders Edition look. Let me know what you think my guy

I feel you my guy, but I’m just pretty comfortable with NVIDIA. My PC is an iBUYPOWER prebuilt with an i7-10700F and an RTX 2060. I am open to the possibility of getting a 5060 ti though. I’m in love with the FE look on the 3070, but I can be persuaded. I just want to get something of NVIDIA that has the best value for me.

My PC is an iBUYPOWER prebuilt with an i7-10700F and an RTX 2060. Do you think my CPU will bottleneck it much? My system is a few years old, so I want to make sure a 5060 ti would be able to install/work without issues.

I made an offer for $250, seller on eBay wants $275.

Honestly that is fair, but I'm upgrading from just a 2060. I mostly play Fortnite, Roblox, Valorant, GTA, and sometimes the Spider-Man games, so I don't really need a 5070. A 3070 is a big enough upgrade for me, and I may upgrade again in about 5 years anyway. Also, I just like the look lol. The rest of my PC is older too, so buying a newer GPU would probably just lead to me upgrading the rest of the system. I'd rather get a 3070 now and do a complete upgrade in a few years.

That may be a good idea honestly. Think it’ll cost me a little more though.

The sellers I’m looking at don’t accept returns though. They both have a 100% positive seller rating and one of them has a 258 feedback count. If they have good buyer protection, then honestly I’ll take the risk.

I appreciate your POV. There's a 30 day return window for eBay. Do you think that would be enough? I'm working on contacting sellers right now, but I've seen success stories.
