8GB most likely won't be able to max settings in newer games and in open world games. Otherwise, i think its serviceable.

QUOTE(Rusty Nail @ Jun 3 2025, 05:10 PM) if both on par, it isn't exactly an upgrade. people tend to move up the value chain. If you are upgrading, yes.likewise i'm currently using 3060 12gb, i won't even consider 5060 16gb, at the very least pun 5070 16gb or 5080 super 24gb  If you are buying a new pc or a new card, then this would make sense if you OK with 8gb. babylon52281 liked this post

QUOTE(gobiomani @ Jun 4 2025, 12:19 PM) Kinda related, I currently have a 3070 8gb. Recently upgraded to a 1440p 240hz monitor. Looking to upgrade GPU for between RM1500 to RM2000. Would a Rx 9060 XT be a decent upgrade to game at 1440p? Depends on the games you want to play and you fps expectation and tolerant. May I know the reason you choose a 8gb vram on a 3070 to begin with?Outside of the 8gb, I think 3070 is still a very serviceable gpu. |

QUOTE(gobiomani @ Jun 4 2025, 02:43 PM) Right now mainly playing valorant and some older games. With my new qd-oled monitor, want to play some eye candy AAA games. For new AAA eye candy, 8gb is OK if you can mid graphic settings to maintain fps. Or if you can accept lower fps to max graphic settings. However, in that case, might as well don't upgrade.Was previously upgrading from Gtx 1060, so the 3070 was a good upgrade coz I only had a 1080p monitor and played older games so the vram was not an issue but seems like it might be an issue at 1440p. I think to enjoy eye candy, a 5070ti would be a more reasonable option. gobiomani liked this post

QUOTE(babylon52281 @ Jun 4 2025, 03:11 PM) With an uplift < 10 FPS more than your 3070, dont even bother to upgrade Nice, unfortunately, good game developer is not common in the market now. To max out your monitor you need at least  VRAM issue is only an issue with sloppy poorly made games. When a developer does a good job you get this  gobiomani liked this post
