Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading my graphics card sooner than planned due to rising prices. I originally planned for next year, but it seems like the market's getting crazy. I play a lot of AAA titles like Horizon Forbidden West, Assassin's Creed games, and Cyberpunk, so I want something that's somewhat future-proof and supports RTX Ray Tracing. I'm currently looking at the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, but I'm not sure if that's really going to hold up in the future. I'd appreciate any recommendations on what to get, while also avoiding bottlenecking! Here are my current specs for reference: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4, MAG B550 TOMAHAWK motherboard, 8GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, along with a few SSDs and HDDs. Thanks in advance!

If your budget allows, I'd recommend looking at the 5070 Ti or the 9070 XT. If you're on a tighter budget, the 9060 XT is a good option too. I wouldn't recommend the 3060 Ti, as it has less VRAM than you'd want for future AAA titles.
Just a heads up, you mentioned a 4095MB GTX 1070. Just to clarify, the 1070 is actually an 8GB card. The 3060 Ti is a decent upgrade, but you might want to consider going even higher since your Ryzen 7 5700X is pretty capable!
Ah whoops my mistake, for some reason Speccy has it as 4095... just rechecked... yep it's the 8GB card.
First off, what's your budget? If you're looking to upgrade, the 5060 Ti 16GB would be a solid choice and would work well with your current setup.
Ah okie, I've got 900AUD/600USD set aside for it.
You dropped the card and a few chips fell off!
