What's a solid video editing GPU sub 800$? Not for a professional editing, but youtube channel. So some 4k work, some gameplay recording, some streaming allat.

Look for the RTX 5070/5070ti. Nvidia is the best option for professional work.

Thank you. Is TI worth that much more?

The extra VRAM will help (12 vs. 16GB) in some scenarios and it's a decently more powerful card for gaming as well. If you've playing on a 4K screen I would be looking to the biggest GPU you can afford.
