I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card because my current GTX 3070 Ti doesn't seem to keep up with my 13600KF, especially when playing demanding games like BF6. I'm hoping to find a suitable upgrade that won't break the bank—ideally around $500. Any recommendations?

I would recommend going for either an RTX 5070 or an RX 9060 XT. They both perform well, but the RTX 5070 is a standout in terms of value for your budget. If you're gaming at 1440p, make sure the GPU you choose has enough VRAM, 16GB would be ideal. Just be aware that the 9060 XT can be a bit overpriced considering its performance compared to others.
With your current setup, you're in a good position to choose a powerful GPU. The RTX 5070 is a solid upgrade and offers about 30% better performance. If you're open to alternatives, the RX 9070 XT gives even more power, around 50% increase, and has been priced reasonably lately. If budget's tight, consider optimizing your settings for now and using DLSS to improve performance while you search for the right GPU.
Thanks for your input! I'm definitely looking for something around or under $500, leaning towards GPUs with higher VRAM like the RX 9070.
