Hi, everyone, i need tips, i will buy a new graphic card to replace my old GTX 570 (yes is very older), my budget is short and i have two options:

>>> Zotac RTX 3070 Twin Edge 8gb ($760)
>>> MSI GAMING X TRIO RTX3060TI 8gb ($730)

yes the 3070 is best gpu, but is very tiny and I live in a tropic country (hot most of the years). the msi is most bigger, have 3 fans
and her motherboard has the most separate circuits and instead the Zotac her motherboard is very tiny and and circuits closer together.

The goal is which one will last me longer, since I am not one of the people who change their GPU very often for money reasons.


what would you do.

Thanks.

On paper for rendering in DAZ there is little difference

5888 cuda cores for the 3070
4864 cuda cores for the 3060ti

Both have the same vram

If you still have a 570, it seems the temperature in your country is not an issue.
Not sure if it's possible to predict which card will last more.
I would certainly go for the 3070 since it's guaranteed better for a very small price difference. You could say it will "last" more because it will take more time for it to become obsolete, since it's better.

whichever is cheaper, then the money you saved can be used on 2021 games

I wouldn´t buy the 3060 TI when there´s a version on the horizon featuring 12GB of VRAM


But i wouldn´t buy any card atm but rather wait 3-4 months bc there are other cards announced already.
