Hey everyone! I recently upgraded a big portion of my PC, swapping out the motherboard, RAM, and CPU for a 7800x3d with 32GB of DDR5. Currently, I have a 3060 Ti with 8GB, but I've set aside some cash (around $800) to get a new GPU. I'm looking to future-proof my system since the 3060 is starting to struggle with power usage when playing my favorite games on my ultrawide monitor. With the current market trends in mind, I thought it would be a good time to ask for suggestions. By the way, I live close to a Micro Center, though I'm not a huge fan of going there.

Definitely consider the 5070 Ti! But I’m curious about your comment on the 3060 Ti being near its limit due to power usage. What do you mean by that?
What's the resolution you're gaming at? Depending on your budget and needs, you could look into the 5070, 9070, or 9070XT. Just compare the benchmarks against your price range and see what fits best!
I'm playing at 3440x1440, so I need something that can really handle that.
It has a TDP of 200 watts, and when I checked with HWINFO64, it averages around 195 watts under load. I saw Micro Center has a deal for $750 plus tax right now, but I'm not sure if that's a good price.
