Is upgrading to a RTX 5070 12Gb from a RTX 3060 8Gb Ti worth it ?

Hello there :)

I’ve been working on my desktop PC for about 4 years now and despite some issues with an SSD NVMe and a recent problem with a a damaged USB PCIe expansion card that caused my PC to lag as hell before I identified the problem and removed it, I am quite happy with it. I produce music and am a motion-graphics designer, so I use lots of softwares and plugins and the PC is quite robuts to handle it, even on tight schedules for my clients and big renders (over 4K with plugins such as Element 3D or Deep Glow, Shadow studio, Handy cam, etc.).

I’ve been watching a lot of tests that point to the RTX 5070 as a great solution for 4K editing and was wondering if anyone had any experience with such an upgrade, especially 3060 8Gb to 5070 12Gb.

I also read there were some issues with the 5070 and so far, most of the time, my philosophy has always been “as long as it works”, don’t update / upgrade.

But if it can help me improve my workflow and gain some rendering time, I’d be curious to know your thoughts about it.

So thank you for your feedback and experiences on this topic.
