RTX 4060 vs RTX 4070 — the short answer
For 1080p gaming, the RTX 4060 is fine and saves you significant money. For 1440p Ultra with future-proofing, the RTX 4070 is worth the price jump — extra VRAM, much stronger shader throughput, and better ray tracing all matter for an open-world title like GTA 6.

Which should you buy?
Choose the RTX 4060 if: you game at 1080p, prioritize price, and accept turning some settings to Medium for stable 60 FPS.
Choose the RTX 4070 if: you game at 1440p, want to keep this GPU 3-4+ years, and play other AAA titles (Cyberpunk, Starfield, Black Myth: Wukong) where the VRAM and shader headroom matters.
