12GB of Vram or a 5060ti with 16GB, both are bad and poorly priced.
Well.. the 5060 ti 16gb msrp is 429. The 5070 is 120$ more. You just have to ask yourself is the 120$ difference a deal breaker? For me personally I'm more interested in the 16gb vram for video editing and ai tools because 12gb just isn't enough for a lot of applications. But the 5070 is way better for games. And considering it's actually "MSRP", and you can't find an Radeon 9070xt anywhere near msrp this is your best bet. It's way better for games than the 5060 ti.
I only own nVidia and have for ages. But AMD, this generation, if you are not needing purely the absolute best at any cost, should be winning.

Remember when used books were sold really cheap? Somehow they are near price of new books but lower by a few dollars? Sometimes the seller understands scarcity, buys all, destroys a bunch, and sells higher price bc now it's scarce. This is the new, wasteful market of capitalists.
So, yes I'm disappointed at the gpu market in how their price is successfully being schemed. The manufacturers aren't doing enough battling scalpers.
And to anyone saying go AMD, well as bad as nvidia are treating their customers, every time i have gone amd in my 20 years of buying video cards i have had problems with drivers. AMD is a headache with drivers and they take months longer to come out with driver updates (which is a considerable time frame to the life of a GPU). The drivers are the reason to spend more on nvidia imo. I did go AMD with my CPU though because for CPUs its fine.

Since day 1, I've had issues with some my computer audio popping (through monitor jack) when the system is at load - not sure if it's the card's issue. I think I waited too long, trying fixes like re-installing the drivers and whatnot so I've missed the 'no questions asked' return window.
Most important part of this is that the product I received was marked as new but I saw "Return Center" on the shipping label and there were visible scuffs on the underside of the card. Not sure if this is a BestBuy thing but stay alert. I'm in the process of trying to exchange it since I can't really find this card at MSRP
