Should you buy it?
Consider the RTX 3060 Ti if you find it close to its MSRP and primarily game at 1440p, as it offers a great balance of performance and features. If prices are inflated, newer cards like the RTX 4060 Ti or AMD's RX 6700 XT/7700 XT might offer better value or future-proofing, especially for VRAM-intensive titles.
