It's fine, I had other bills and hobbies to pay for which worked out. Would I do it again? Yes. Just not do it on multiple purchases. Only do it 1 time till you pay it off, then start the next affirm purchase.
Is the interest high and are you paying more in the end? Of course. If you don't like that and aren't ok with that, it's simple. Don't do it. If using something like Affirm to purchase things you normally wouldn't be able to purchase is your best bet, you're ok with it, and you've genuinely thought it through; go for it! There's nothing wrong with that.
It's good to see there are positive stories with people using these services. Just because you wouldn't use the service doesn't mean it's unhelpful and a bad deal for everyone else. It's not your money, if it's what they want and genuinely makes them happy, that's great.

30% interest is close to predatory lending practices. There are credit cards with close to, or similar interest rates... I label them also predatory.
So I wouldn't thumbs up any sort of that behavior.
And while DLSS is better, there is still FSR.
And at the cost of a 3070, you can just about buy a 7800 xt.
Your comparison seems difficult to match, even for people who prefer NVIDIA

For comparable performance on the AMD side, I think the 6800 XT and 7800 XT are still available, and better values.
I just went with Nvidia because the 40 series is more energy efficient, which reduces the cost over the long run if electricity is expensive where you live. I also want to try out the card for machine learning / AI, and AMD is pretty far behind on that.
BTW the Gigabyte card is better than the MSI and Zotac options around the same price.

Probably the lower heat generation is more important to most people, especially in summer if you don't have A/C, or if you want less fan noise.
However, for this deal, you can simply initiate the purchase and pick a plan, wether it has up to 30% of interest on it, doesnt matter.
After the purchase it will let you in your affirm account (theres an app) and you just immediately pay the whole amount off. Problem solved.
