Hello,
I purchased RTX 3060 ti but got the chance to return it and get a 3070 at roughly the same price. I thought I would like a little more power at 1440p, though I know there's only a small difference between the cards. Some games it's running faster without a doubt but others it's undeniably slower. In AC Odyssey I went from 75 FPS with a 3060 ti on the benchmark to 66 FPS with and RTX 3070. I would not mind even if the scores were the same in some games but that's a significant performance loss. In AC Valhalla I'm consistently getting more frames on the 3070 both in game and on the benchmark. Someone told me it's a CPU bottleneck on CPU heavy games but another suggested I should return it and get a different card. YouTube benchmarks made me think it wouldn't matter at 1440P but there does seem to be some difference for certain CPU heavy games. Should I aim for a stronger CPU or return the GPU while I can? Thanks for any help or suggestions.
