The RTX 3070 matched the RTX 2080 Ti at half the price when it launched in 2020, and it is still common in builds and on the used market.
It remains good for 1080p and lighter 1440p gaming, but 8GB of memory is its weak point in recent games, and it supports DLSS upscaling without DLSS 3 frame generation. Pair it with a 650 W power supply.
