I built my PC in 2020 and have only added storage since then. Now, I'm ready to upgrade my GPU. Here's my current setup: I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X CPU, MSI MEG Unify X570 motherboard, 128GB of G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 3200 DDR4 RAM, and an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080Ti from EVGA. My power supply is a Seasonic FOCUS Plus 750 80+ Gold. I'm looking for suggestions on a GPU that offers a significant performance boost without bottlenecking my CPU or requiring me to upgrade other components as well. I'm not too concerned about budget or brand as long as it fits my system. I use my setup mainly for high-end work tasks, but I enjoy gaming too!

It really depends on your budget. If you want a solid option, the RTX 5070Ti offers a great balance of performance and price—it’s high-end without breaking the bank. Just keep in mind you might experience some CPU bottlenecks in games that demand high single-core performance, but it’ll still outperform your 1080Ti significantly.
I actually have an extra 5070Ti and a PSU lying around after upgrading. If you're interested in a good deal on a used card, let me know!
You might want to consider getting a Radeon 6900XT or an RTX 5060Ti. Going for anything higher could lead to performance bottlenecks with your current CPU setup.
