I'm looking to upgrade from my 12GB 3060 because it didn't perform well enough for games like Alan Wake 2. I have three displays that I use separately: a 1080p 60Hz TV, a 1440p 144Hz monitor, and a 4K 60Hz TV. I'm pairing the RTX 4070 Super with an i5 12400 and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I mainly play single-player story-driven games and aim for 60 FPS. How well do you think the RTX 4070 Super will handle these resolutions? Can I expect it to manage ray tracing, and what DLSS settings should I consider? Are there any significant bottlenecks I should worry about? My TVs lack VRR, so I'll likely need to lock at 60 FPS. Lastly, should I anticipate any power savings compared to the 3060?

Running multiple monitors isn't really taxing on the GPU itself; it's more about what you're doing with them. Unless you're gaming on two screens at once, you should be fine. Just a heads up though, having multiple monitors can sometimes increase idle temps on Nvidia GPUs. If you can, try to run the extra displays off your iGPU instead, but I get that your CPU doesn't have one. No biggie!
I see what you mean! I meant to say that I’ll be using them one at a time, especially since I travel with my PC. Thanks for the great advice! My CPU, unfortunately, doesn’t have an integrated GPU.
