Live benchmark data
In verified runs saved here, RTX 5070 averages 81% higher FPS. Averages mix every resolution and settings level owners actually ran, so treat this as a directional signal, not a lab result.
Verdict — RTX 5070
Competent card that would have been great with 16 GB. As-is, expect to lower texture settings within 2–3 years to avoid stutter. Consider the 5070 Ti if budget allows.
Verdict — RTX 3060
Aged surprisingly well because of that VRAM. Cheap on the used market and still competent for 1080p. Local LLM/Stable Diffusion crowd loves it for the VRAM/price ratio.
