I'm about to upgrade my GPU and I'm seeking advice on which option would be the best fit for my current setup. I mainly game at 1080p on a 180Hz monitor, and I want a card that can handle modern games on high or ultra settings and still be future-proof. Here are my specs:
* **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
* **RAM**: 32GB DDR4 @ 3600MHz
* **Current GPU**: RTX 2060 (ZOTAC)
* **Motherboard**: ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II
* **Power Supply**: Cooler Master 650W
I'm also only able to buy from the European market, so prices and availability could be different than in the US.

You might also want to consider the RX 7900XT or the 4080 Super! These are great options for modern games at high settings.
Given your power supply, I'd suggest looking at the RTX 5070, AMD 9070 non-XT, or the RTX 4070 Super. Each has its strengths depending on what you prioritize. For instance, the RX 9070 offers the best raster performance, while the RTX 4070 Super is compatible with 32-bit physx and 64-bit physx. It really depends on what you mostly use it for. Also, considering undervolting can help optimize performance for all three options!

When you talk about playing modern games on high settings, do you mean 1080p like you're currently doing, or are you planning on going higher resolution soon?
For now I’ll stick with 1080p, but I do plan to upgrade to 1440p in the future!
Just a heads up, the prices for the 4080 Super can get pretty steep, around +1200€!
