Due to some circumstances, today I lost the pc I had, so now I have to get a job to buy a new one.
I'm not sad, because it was inevitable in the first place but now my table feels empty. I don't know which videocard to buy, I'm playing videogames regularly, but I can't say my goal is to buy pc purely for gaming, so can anyone say if 2070 is okay or I should ignore 20xx videocards and buy 3070 or 3080 instead?

Bruh, it turns out in english language it is not "videocard" but "graphics card". I knew something was off.
Anyway, I'm a complete noobie when it comes to specs, so that's why I'm asking for advice. The pc I lost had 610 graphics card, if I remember correctly. It is very old and outdated tech, so I was playing games that were just as ancient, ignoring modern ones before I get a new pc.

First off you need to figure out if your pc can run a 2070 or 3070, cause if not you may have to buy more upgrades. 3070 is very power hungry so check your PSU, CPU, whether your pc has a good cooling system and whether the video card will fit at all.
 
Also unless you have a good monitor 3070 may be overkill, but even then 3070 is much better assuming you won't have to upgrade anything
 
That aside I had a laptop with Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070. It's nice, you can run virtually whatever you want, so it's good for regular gaming. The question is if you can spend the price difference between 2070 and 3070 in a way that matters more.

You talk to lots of non-native english speakers. Videocard is just fine...
Really depends what you wanna play. If you are fine with older games (think of Witcher 3) you might wanna hunt a used pc. I think now that Microsoft pushes Win 11 lots of machines will be available for they can't run Win 11 on them (the hardware is incompatible) and owners have to buy new ones. So they might be cheaper than usual.

Oh, this is quite insightful, I wasn't aware of any of that. I guess I will have to ask an acquaintance who is more knowledgeable in the matter than me, to help me with that.
When it comes to games, I'm not the person who wants to play the newest ones nor wants the best graphics, so I think I will be fine with 2070 as it covers probably all games up to year 2019, or 3070 which seems to me to be relevant up to year 2035. Unless developers will fail even more at optimising videgames. My brother have a pc with 1080 and he is playing Lies of P right now, so I guess that tech is not that important as it is portrayed in media if you don't mind having the graphics settings not being cranked up to max.
