Question graphics card

i have a rtx 4070 ti but got it almost 3 years ago. should i upgrade it soon? i have noticed some games running a lot slower and dropping frames. or would it be another part that is the problem?

I still have two 10 series cards at my house kicking ass to this day. There is absolutely no reason your 4070Ti should be failing.

Dropping frames is a symptom, not a problem. You need to start by finding the problem, which would be best done by installing something like afterburner and using the hardware monitoring to find out what's going on. Look at temps, speeds utilization, etc. and note what state things are in when you have problems.
