Ive been building my own rigs since the GTX 900 series days so I usually know what Im doing but man this current 1440p market is a total mess right now. Im rocking an old 3070 right now and its just falling off a cliff with these newer titles like Cyberpunk or even Wukong lately. Ive got a 165Hz monitor and Im barely hitting 70fps on medium settings which is just killing me. My logic was to just grab a 4070 Super and call it a day because of the power efficiency and DLSS 3 frame gen but then I started looking at the VRAM requirements and now Im second guessing everything. Is 12GB really gonna hold up for the next 3 years?

So I was thinking maybe the 7900 GRE is the play for the extra memory buffer but then I lose out on the ray reconstruction stuff which I actually use. Ive got about $750 to spend and I really need to get this ordered by Friday before my vacation starts so I can actually play something for once. Is the 4070 Ti Super worth the extra stretch for that 16GB? Or am I just overthinking the whole VRAM thing for 1440p high refresh? It feels like every card in this price bracket has some stupid compromise and Im stuck in analysis paralysis...
