I think the 70 model is best to upgrade every once in a while. I went from a 1070Ti/1080p to 1070Ti/1440p. Then it started struggling, so now I’m on 4070/1440p. If you’d have a xx60 you’d be upgrading every gen.

That said, rumour has it that the 50xx’s won’t be a big improvement over 40xx. Most likely what comes after 50xx will be a big one.

So depends on what you play but the 40 series does all the DLSS fancies the 50 will probably. So 4070ti super for my money would be fine, 4080 super might be nice if you can get it.

Well we’ve seen CAS latency increase almost quicker than DDR speeds. CAMM should address this issue by shortening the distance from cpu to RAM, at least for laptops.

I’d say DIMM has pretty much stranded in DDR5.

Yeah and the other half that doesn’t is either dead or so famous that they don’t really need the money

At that budget you are limited to a second hand gpu, possibly something like a 3070 if you’re lucky. Maybe get like a 6700XT. Ryzen 5 3600X, 16GB DDR4 and a simple motherboard.
