Asus Dual RX 6700 XT 12GB Gaming Graphics Card (₹35,999 ) Mdcomputer
vs
Inno3d RTX 3060 Ti Twin X2 LHR 8GB Graphics Card (₹39,999) Mdcomputers
Which one to buy? Which one will be good enough till 2027?
Is the DLSS 2.0 better or the FSR 2.0? (I am using a 1080p 144hz monitor)
Or should i wait for mid range RX7000 series and RTX 4000 series? I dont wanna upgrade my PC for the next 5 years.
I am using a B350 Motherboard that was around 7k when I bought it. Will I need to upgrade to a better PSU for these Graphic cards?

6700XT is more VFM option IMO. More VRAM will help with longevity, but for 1440p. Like on my 8GB 3070, I can't run FH5 at 1440p extreme for more than 20mins or so, but that is because of a VRAM leak bug in FH5 apparently, still games are going to need more VRAM for higher quality textures. 8GB is fine for 1080p. 10GB should have been the minimum for 1440p, but alas Nvidia didn't get the memo in last gen.

DLSS is slightly better than FSR, but some games have DLSS exclusively. At 1080p, DLSS/FSR is not worth it IMO as any lower render resolution for DLSS doesn't have enough info for good upscaling. For 1440p, DLSS/FSR quality mode renders at close to 1080p & upscales to 1440p, anything below is not good.

For 1080p gaming, better get RX 6600 for 25k or so, it is enough, but so is your 1070 for now. If you don't plan to jump to 1440p, stick to 1070 & maybe make the purchase after 9-10months.

Do upgrade the PSU. One you linked is 650W, but that will be fine as well.
