True.There was a time when 3070 was available for 44k. Before the dark times
The price quoted was the Max. for certain high end models like Strix OC/Aorus Master Xtreme/ Zotac Holo etc. Rest of the models with poor cooling/OC should cost less than FE IMO.
I think its better to ditch the 3XXX/6XXX cards altogether at this point.

With MSI B660M A Pro mobo, upgrade to i7 12700 is like another 12-13k. If you are spending 80k+ on a top end GPU, better get a relatively high end CPU. Surely i5 12400 will pair well as well with 3080 for 1440p gaming. In case someone decides to just upgrade GPU later, 12700 will be better. Anyways, whoever is buying should take the call personally.

An MSI 2 fan 6700XT has been 53k for some time now. Still, good to see prices falling.

is it better than a 3060ti?

Yes in every way because don't fall for Nvidias DLSS because AMD has FSR 2.0 which works the same way and has support for Ray Tracing also.
That's why I took a loan and bought RX6600XT because this is our Indian engineers innovation.

how much did you pay for the rx6600xt?did you buy it when the gpu prices were high?
What gpu did you have before the rx6600xt?

No, similar performance. Nvidia GPUs can use FSR 2.0, so I will give it an advantage over AMD cards, unless AMD one is much cheaper. 12GB VRAM is helpful at times, esp at 4K.

I paid 48k while the GPU prices were at their highest.
Now want to upgrade to rx6700xt but don't have monies and if I take another loan my wifey will surely kill me this time as she told me so.

No I think 6700xt is best for 4k while 3070ti is best for 4k
6600xt is best for 2k similarly 3060ti is best for 2k

I have a 1440p display which 32GK650F. Should I upgrade my GPU to either 3060ti or 6700xt?

Honestly, 3070Ti at 65k makes no sense, better increase the budget by ~10k for 3080. It is not even 10% faster than 3070, still has 8GB VRAM, more VRAM would have helped it. At least 3070 is like 12-13% faster than 3060Ti. So depending on price, usually just pick one among 3060Ti or 3070 or even 6700XT (beware of lack of DLSS here).
My 3070 is also potent for 4K gaming but 8GB VRAM hurts it. FH5 with VRAM leak issue can't run it at extreme preset with background apps, I get 84fps on benchmark run but in game after sometime I get a VRAM full warning. Also, FC6 at 4K with ultra HD textures has poor performance on 8GB VRAM.

Again I will say, do not upgrade. You have 6600XT, stick with it for a few years. It can run games at 2K decently for the time being. Unless you earn money from your PC, it is not worth the financial constraints

I never thought 8GB VRAM will fall short for 1440p gaming!! I understand the texture packs are getting heavier each year but thought 1440p at Ultra preset(not all but most games) is fine for 8GB VRAM and only 4K needs higher VRAM size.
What happens once you get VRAM full warning inside game, does it affect performance/visuals ?
