Hey everyone,
I'm currently using a 4060 Ti 8GB with a 9800 X3D and thinking about an upgrade. The 4070 Super looks like a strong option considering its cost and availability, but I'm not ruling out other possibilities. I mostly play at 1440p, wanting a balance between performance and durability. Should I choose the 4070 Super or explore another similar model in the same price range? Any suggestions would be great!

Consider attempting to obtain an RX 9070 XT, which matches the performance of the 4080, but we must hold off until tomorrow to confirm availability at the original price.

I understand. If I needed a GPU now, I'd look at the 9070xt or 9070. The main concern is availability.

Definitely see if you can pickup an RX 9070 XT tomorrow, with the market as it is, if it has enough availability, it would be the best choice.

Sure to choose 9070xt, ignore 4070 super, it doesn't justify purchasing like the 5070.

Be aware of the limitations in the top tier of GPU rankings.
Expect some CPU constraints.
Perform a basic test by running your games at reduced settings to see how the card performs.
A rise in FPS suggests your CPU can handle better graphics, while stability implies CPU is the bottleneck.
