I built my PC last October and was originally planning to upgrade my GPU later on. My current setup includes a Ryzen 5 7600X, 32GB DDR5 6000MHz RAM, and an RTX 3060 that I picked up for $100. I use a 1080p monitor, but I'm interested in upgrading to an ultrawide 3440x1440p monitor as soon as I get a new graphics card. I had been eyeing the 50 series super cards, but with their rumored delays or cancellation, I'm looking to upgrade now. Here are my options:
1. 9070XT ($760)
2. 5070 ($800)
3. Used 4080 Super ($1,000)
4. 4070 Ti Super OEM model ($780)
I've mostly been an Nvidia user since I had an RTX 3060 laptop before this. I'm leaning towards the 9070XT based on what I've heard, but I'm also tempted to stick with Nvidia since I've never used AMD. I want to make a decision that will last me at least the next two years. What do you all think?

I've got a 4070 Ti Super, and it's fantastic! I consistently hit over 120 FPS at 1440p max settings on almost everything. However, if you're looking to save some cash, consider a 3080. They're going for $250-300 and will give you a significant performance boost at 1440p without breaking the bank. The cheapest option you have on your list is way pricier for a modest upgrade over the 3080.
I've thought about that, but the cheapest 3080 around is $450 for me. With new games on the horizon, I'm not sure how well it would hold up in the next couple of years.
Enjoy that 4070 Ti Super!
