5070 does worse than a 4070 super in many games.. just fyi
If you absolutely need a new gpu right now, this is probably the best you're going to get. The sad truth of the current gpu market is that msrp cards are a rarity and most people will end up spending at least 10% over msrp even for low end aib models. If you live near a microcenter you might be better off waiting to see if you can snag a 9070xt at under $650 when they restock, if you don't live near a microcenter you're pretty much out of luck when it comes to msrp cards.

That all being said, no gpu over $450 should have only 12gb of vram in 2025. The fact the 5070 only has 12gb is yet another example of nvidia's anti-consumer planned obsolescence. You'll likely need to turn down settings at 1440p or higher in order to remain within this cards vram buffer, and high end raytracing is unattainable. Please keep in mind that nvidia's "multi frame generation" is a relatively niche frame smoothing technology, it doesn't improve performance and actually increases latency. MFG's 4x mode is really only viable if you have at minimum a 240z monitor, and 3x mode isn't viable without at minimum a 180hz monitor.
Buying a brand new GPU with less than 16GB VRAM in 2025 is just unwise. I was playing Rise of the Ronin the other day and it was barely staying under 12GB VRAM usage. Games that come out in 2026/2027 will blow past it without a doubt.

Is there a reason to upgrade from a 12g 3060 if I generally only play at 1080p and usually 1 gen back games? Worried I'd just be flushing $$$ down the toilet.
If it's not broke, don't fix it.

I saved $55 because no sales tax. I have a Microcenter but sales tax is 10% in Overland Park. $549 = 54.90 in sales tax alone. It's actually costs me about $60 in gas and tolls to drive there and back
Vote with your feet if you don't like high taxes.

Quote from fawzi :
12GB of vram in 2025 is criminal. 32gb should be standard. heck xbox use 16gb of fast unified memory.
Nvidia took notes from Apple - restrict memory as much as the market allows (where people complain but still buy) to force more frequent upgrades. Planned obsolescence.

I think this video provides some context on the value of this card.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J72Gfh5mfTk
I suspected this when the 40-series cards all had a reduced memory bus from their 30-series equivalent. I think nvidia is trying to stretch out their product offering on the low end without lowering prices by gradually reducing the specs of their more popular cards. So, this card likely slots in at the xx60 ti level but at the xx70 price.
The market is what the market is, and this is probably a good deal for a nvida card, but you're not getting what you used to. Its brutal for PC consumers, but absent real competition (neither intel nor amd have a general purpose card...if I want to use my gpu for more than just gaming, nvidia is the only game in town), nvida has no incentive to offer more for less.

9070xt very hard to find for msrp which was raised by $100 even at micro center. So you are looking at spending $300 more for that
Disgusting.

AMD could sell 9070XT all day long at $600 and do just fine. IMO it's already a $500 card at a $600 price point - further gouging is just...evil.

If you feel like you "missed out" on this "deal", don't. Sh*t card at this price point.

The xbox has an operating system to run
only 2GB is reserved for the whole operating system. they even tweaked it to give more vram to the games. consoles are just cheaper and better long term investment at this point.

Isn't it sad that for three generations now, cards that cost up to $5-600 are still being considered worth buying "for 1080p?" I mean, by now with the advances in tech, you'd think $5-600 would get you a card that would be great at 4k.
yes. A xx70 card shouldn't cost more than $300.

MSRP cards are a dime a dozen these days. I paid $800 for my 8GB 3070 deep into 2020 and it's still going strong but I have a larger monitor now pushing more pixels so this is a sensible enough purchase at $550 minus BB credits.
