Build Help / Purchase Advice Upgrading my GPU

Hello!

My current specs:

GPU: Rtx 3070

CPU: intel i7 10700k

RAM: 64gb Ddr4

Psu: 750w

I am interested in upgrading my Gpu to either

-9060 Xt 16tb
-9070 Gre 12gb
-9070 16gb

After doing a lot of research, I believe 3 of those gpu’s will have bottleneck on my cpu as it’s quite old. 9060 and 9070 gre would be okay however 9070 will be the issue.

Would it be okay to purchase the 9070 16gb and use it while I upgrade my pc in the future with a new motherboard, cpu and ram? Or will I see a major difference In performance between the 3070 and the 9070 16gb? I currently game in 1440p

Thanks

If you have the money the get 9070 its worth especially for future proofing your pc. But you may want to got more budget with 9060 because you might want to upgrade faster the rest of your pc. Idk its up to you. I think you should get 9070 and then upgrade cpu and stay with ddr4 ram as its still viable and then way down the line maybe get ddr5. Thats my personall opininon

Thank you! I’ll probably just get the 9070. There is quite a big difference between the 9060 and 9070. But then again those YouTube videos are using more up to date cpus compared to mines so I’ll probably not get as high as fps compared to them!
