I'm using an RTX 2070 and want to upgrade for better performance without bottlenecking my i7 9700KF. I usually game at Full HD, aiming for high refresh rates (240 Hz), and I'm looking to play future titles like Stalker 2 and GTA 6. What GPU do you recommend?

For GTA 6, I’d suggest not going below an RTX 4070 Ti Super with 16GB. Avoid the 50-series cards since they don’t support Nvidia PhysX, which might limit older games. If you can budget for it, consider upgrading your CPU too; AMD CPUs paired with Nvidia's 40 series GPUs are fantastic. AMD GPUs simply don't support PhysX, which can be a bummer with certain titles.
If you want to go with a 4070, be careful! Your CPU might bottleneck that setup, and you might have VRAM limitations too. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, the 9060 XT with 16GB could be a more balanced choice instead.
You're likely to run into some level of bottleneck unless you're gaming at 4K with a less powerful GPU. Even with a card like the RTX 3080, you might still bottleneck at 1440p. If you're looking at something like the 9060 XT with 16GB, it should work well without overthinking it too much.
What resolution are you gaming at? That can really affect your GPU choice!
I play at Full HD, and my monitor supports 240 Hz. My current GPU isn't cutting it for new games, so I'm looking for something that can handle the latest titles.
