I'm considering upgrading my GPU from a 1070 8GB to the 7800 XT, but I'm worried about potential bottlenecks with my current CPU, the i7-10700F. I don't want to upgrade my CPU right now, so I'm curious to know if I should stick with a different GPU instead or if the 7800 XT will work well enough without causing issues.

Unfortunately, the 10700F will likely hold back the 7800 XT in many games, especially with AAA titles. But don't stress too much; just enjoy gaming instead of worrying about benchmarks!
Yeah, the i7-10700F might cause a slight bottleneck while gaming, but it's not a huge deal. You should still be able to enjoy most games without any major problems. Just keep an eye on the resolution you play at!
Long story short, yes, it can bottleneck at times, but especially at lower resolutions. Consider it if you don't mind minor performance dips in certain games.
If you're mainly gaming at 1440p, you should be fine! The higher resolution will reduce the impact of the CPU on performance. Just make sure your games aren't too CPU-heavy.
