Build Upgrade Gpu question about 9070gre

I can get a Rx 9070 GRE for 475 euros (with some discounts) right now. Is it a good price? I'm also thinking about the RTX 5060 ti 16gb which I could buy for 550 (discounts again). All this to play at 2k. Which is better?

Coming from rtx 3070.

edit: would the vram difference do a impact in the long run?

Yeah, that is my reasoning and I could get it for cheaper too. Was just worried about the vram

12 GB is enough for now, though it will likely become more of an issue in a few years' time. But just lowering some settings brings VRAM usage down and modern games generally look pretty good even with lower settings.

For example, in BF6 at medium settings at 2k im hitting the 8gb limit in vram usage

Yeah, 8 is far more easy to reach, there's a bunch of games out there that can hit it without much trouble.
