Why buy each?

NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super

Used market only

New units sell above MSRP. Used units are the only viable path to value for this card.

16GB GDDR6X

Same VRAM capacity as the RTX 5070 Ti — no VRAM compromise versus the successor.

Proven performance

Over 2 years of driver maturity ensures excellent stability across all titles.

NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti

16GB GDDR7 at $429

Finally resolves the VRAM debate — double the memory of the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB at a competitive mid-range price.

DLSS 4

Multi-frame generation brings high frame rates to 1440p without brute-force rendering.

180W TDP

Efficient enough for mid-range builds without a PSU upgrade.
