3070 is the best of the bunch here without knowing much else about your needs.

given similar prices, the 3070

Is amd out of the question? There’s some good and price competitive amd gpus in this performance range.
CharlieMWY
Out of these, definitely the 3070. That being said, if you’re open to going with AMD there are some great options there for a similar price. The 8GB of VRAM is a bit of a bottleneck in some games at 1440p.

If we put prices aside the 4060 easily wins but with prices the 3070

I currently have 3070ti and I apologize but have not kept up with graphics cards. This was the only card I could find during Covid and I was on waitlist for everything else.
Which 40xx series should I get to replace it? It’s not cutting it for me on a few games. I normally purchased EVGA cards but they no longer produce graphics cards. I would like to sell my 3070ti and then spend $500-700 in addition to the money from the sale.
planetaryplanner
4060 is $300 on amazon and 3070’s are $400 from what i see. 4060 ti is probably closer to the 3070.
4060 ti is more power efficient. i went with a 4070 a few months ago because it was the only card i could keep my 550w psu
4060 ti has frame gen. that’s going to let you squeeze more time out of the gpu longer imo if you aren’t keeping it long then this doesn’t matter
At this price point a used 2080ti (~~12GB~~ edit:11GB as a comment below points out) would outperform all of these while using slightly more watts. That is nothing though, my entire 2080ti system used less than $40 per year in electricity, and I basically never turn off my PC so the power savings between a 2080ti and a 4060 might be $5 per year.
Edit: being a high-end/enthusiast card a 2080ti would most like be a larger form factor than the others so that may be a consideration, but it should keep temps comparable.

I would go with 3070, if the 4060ti was an option would go with it.

8GB Vram might be a problem for 3A games. I am playing Cyberpunk at the highes graphics with Path Tracing and DLSS with my 4060Ti 16GB and VRAM usage goes to 11000MB.

So do you NEED nvidia or is it a preference? RT clearly can’t be that big of a deal so why not go with an amd card?

The 2080 having only 8GB is crazy
Toastyx3
Looking at these cards your budget seems to be around 500€. Just get a 7800 XT. Much more power, longer driver support and 16 GB VRAM

3070 for sure
Shredding_Airguitar
4060 has a higher clock rate but half the memory interface size (128 vs 256 bit), half the number of texture mapping units but does support DLSS 3 vs the 3070 is DLSS 1.
On paper they are likely very similar with some favor to the 3070, but the TDP for the 4060 is much lower (115 vs 220W) so it depends, if you’re doing a fairly air-constrained/poorly ventilated build like a non-mesh SFF build the 4060 isn’t terrible but it’s a super niche use-case and I’d say an air-constrained CPU is going to be bottlenecking you anyhow for many games (depends heavily on the game, some games are extremely poorly optimized at the engine<>DirectX layer and are incapable of utilizing GPUs properly)
I’d say the 3070

I don’t want to be that jackass, but I recognize this thumbnail from youtube, couldn’t you just watch the comparison and see which one is best for you?

EVGA 3070ti 1440p 165hz Ultrawide. Runs everything fine. No issues and I play Assetto, tarkov and other fps stuff.
nerdobiffer
I’m one of the few who rolls with the 4060. I love the DLSS 3 and RT features it can use
It ain’t perfect- that 8gb of vram is … bad, to put it kindly-
But I max that card out and it performs really well at 1080p, most every game in the triple digits for framerate, and I LOVE the low watt use (my energy bill is ridiculous)
If you want nvidia features and the tdp is a big enough deal to you – 4060. If it isn’t or you want to push it as much as you can at 1440p … 3070 is the way to go here
rowdydave
I mean the 4060 would be the winner, you get frame gen and access to the AV1 encoder among other features.
None of those cards can compete with being able to use frame gen in all the new title releases.
Why get the 3070 or 2080?
Im playing Cyberpunk on my 4060 as we speak with all RTX/Raytracing settings on max (not path tracing obvs lol) and im averaging 70-80 indoors and 60 fps outdoors on a 1440p monitor.

4060 is best for power but I would go for a bigger gb amount

Maybe wait for the super cards. I have heard the 4070TI super is really good from what a lot of people are saying.
I am debating on getting a 4080 super myself that or just wait for the 5000 series. I currently run a 3080 but i also play at 4k

None, 8GB of VRAM is way too small of a buffer for games these days. It’s gotta 16GB or larger, no exceptions.

I would go with 3070. However, if you are open to alternatives, I would recommend the rx6700 or rx6800 from AMD, the same performance pool. AMD cards will give you a better performance in some games and they will perform in the long term.
I had rx6900xt and I played a few games since the card was released, eventually, I sold it. You need to know what games you are excited to play and then see what card is good for you in terms of needs, cost, and performance.
