That's an 8GB card. For gaming (DLSS, etc.), you can still get newer 8GB cards like the 3070 which represent solid upgrades over the 1070 Ti on the used market for under $300. Still not great since similar cards were available at similar prices new a couple years ago, but at least not trading at multiples of MSRP like higher-end cards.
Even 8GB cards might start going up. I recently bought a cheap one so I can auxiliary models on it (think smaller LLMs for memory consolidation / decision models etc). Locally, multi-gpu is pretty cool. You can essentially have one GPU drive the others and do increasingly powerful things when you combine them.
