Hey everyone! I've been using my GTX 1660 Ti for around five years now, along with an i7-10700F CPU, 32GB of RAM, and an MSI B460 motherboard. It's been a solid performer, but I'm starting to feel its limits with newer games, even on lower settings. I'm considering upgrading my GPU, but I'm torn between:
1. Upgrading now or waiting for new releases or price drops.
2. Finding a GPU that won't cause major bottlenecks with my current setup, unless a PSU upgrade is absolutely necessary.
Mostly gaming at 1080p and doing some light content creation, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I recently moved from a 1660 Ti to a 5070 Ti, and it's a huge improvement! The performance boost is definitely noticeable, and I'm really happy with the upgrade, lol. You should definitely consider something in the 50 series if your PSU can handle it without issues.
First, what power supply are you currently using? Knowing your PSU can help determine which upgrades are feasible without running into power issues.
Got a COOLER MASTER MWE V2 650W 80+ BRONZE Power Supply.
Huge upgrade my guy! What CPU are you pairing with it? I’m also thinking about the 50 series cards but concerned about potential bottlenecks.
