Is the 3060 ti better than 3060 12gb if my main goal is Unreal Engine 5 workloads? - The 3060 ti is a tiny bit costlier than 3060 12gb, but i'm ready to make the jump. Just one problem... Does the 12GB tag on the 3060 actually make a difference in unreal engine?

There's no point buying a 8GB card midway through 2023. if you held off this long just hold off a little longer for more affordable 12-16gb solutions

For gaming the 3060 Ti will give more performance despite its 8GB VRAM buffer whereas for actual work (Video editing, 3D modeling, etc) the 3060 12GB will be the better choice due to its superior 12GB VRAM buffer size, you can fit more data on a 3060 12GB than you ...

For creative workloads, vram reigns supreme. It's the difference between scenes running and not running, as opposed to running at 50 VS 55 fps. For gaming, ti is probably better.

For the workload I’d go with more VRAM. 3060Ti is technically faster but if your primary load is going to be rendering and modeling then more VRAM beats out speed any day.
