Why buy each?

NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti

16GB GDDR7 at $399

Finally resolves the VRAM debate — double the memory of the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB at the same 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.

NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super

Clearance value

Superseded but strong value — clearance pricing makes this competitive with the RTX 5070 Ti at launch MSRP.

16GB GDDR6X

Same VRAM capacity as its successor — no VRAM compromise.

Proven performance

A year of driver maturity ensures excellent stability.
