My friend is putting together a PC for streaming. He has already purchased a Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, but he hasn't bought a GPU yet. He's considering either the RTX 5070 Ti or a 5070. The catch is, he's currently out of town and doesn't remember whether his monitor is 1080p or 1440p, and he's worried about potential bottlenecks. Any suggestions on which GPU he should go for?

The 5070 Ti is a solid choice for 1440p gaming and can handle many games at 4K too, so it should work well for streaming. Just keep in mind that while streaming can impact performance a little, it shouldn't be too bad. If your friend wants to optimize further, using a mid-range laptop or another PC as a streaming device with a capture card can really help without affecting gaming performance.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely mention the capture card option to him.
