Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading my GPU to get better frame rates while gaming at 1440p. Here's the current setup I have: a Ryzen 5 5600x CPU, 32GB of DDR4 RAM running at 3600MHz, and a 3060 Ti GPU. Do you think it would be worth it to switch to an RX 9070 XT, or would that not make much difference? Thanks for your input!

Absolutely, the RX 9070 XT would handle 1440p Ultra settings easily. Upgrading makes perfect sense!
It really depends on the games you're playing. Are you mostly trying to run them at High or Ultra settings? If your CPU is the bottleneck, getting a new GPU won’t boost your performance much. But if the GPU is the limitation, then an upgrade would definitely help!
I'm mostly into single-player games like Cyberpunk and Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
Will I need to upgrade anything else? I’ve heard about bottlenecking, but I'm not sure how to figure that out.
