GPU upgrade dilemma: 3060 12GB vs 4060 ti 16GB for AI

The primary concern is the trade-off between the 4060 ti's larger VRAM and potentially lower memory bandwidth compared to the 3060s, and how this might impact performance in AI tasks, specifically with models like qwen3.8-27b. The user also considers the 4060 ti's suitability for occasional gaming. AI
