I recently got myself a 2K ultrawide monitor and I'm really enjoying it! However, my 3070 Ti GPU is starting to struggle with some games at that resolution. I'm currently using an R7 9800X3D processor and I'm looking for suggestions on a reasonably priced GPU upgrade. Any recommendations?

The 5070 Ti would be a significant upgrade over your current card, and I've seen its prices stabilizing recently. It should handle your ultrawide monitor pretty well!
When it comes to what's 'reasonably priced,' that can really vary per person. I’d suggest looking for a 5070 Ti at MSRP if you're searching for something that balances cost and performance!
Considering you have an R7 9800X3D, basically any modern GPU will pair nicely with it. For great value, you might want to check out the 5070 Ti or even the 9070 XT if your budget allows. And remember, Nvidia is expected to launch the 5000 Super series soon, which might affect current GPU prices, so keep an eye on that!
I switched from a 3070 Ti to a 5070 Ti, and my framerates nearly doubled with everything set to ultra or high. Just a heads up, going for a 5080 or 5090 might not be worth it given diminishing returns. I did consider the 9060 XT and 5060 Ti, but they seemed too close in performance to my old setup. In my area, the 9070 and 9070 XT weren't much cheaper than the 5070 Ti. Hope this helps you make a choice!
For sure, this totally makes sense!
