I'm looking to upgrade my GPU but want to avoid the hassle of getting a whole new motherboard and processor. My main tasks involve editing RAW footage in Davinci Resolve, doing some work in Blender, and playing games. I'm curious about the best NVIDIA card I can get before my Intel i7-11700KF processor starts causing a bottleneck. Currently, I'm using a 2K monitor but plan to switch to 4K later. Here's a quick rundown of my system:
- System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
- System Model: Z590 UD AC
- Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700KF @ 3.60GHz (16 CPUs)
- RAM: 32GB
- Current GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

At 1440p and 4K, the limitations imposed by your CPU are less significant. Feel free to choose any GPU that catches your eye!
You can pretty much pair any modern card with your setup, especially if you're looking to game at 4K resolutions.
Totally agree! Your CPU should handle 120 fps at 1440p quite comfortably for the next several years.
