I'd say minimum: 5070 Ti or 9070 XT.

If you want to max your budget, I'd wait for the rumoured 5080 Super with 24GB of VRAM.

How long we talking and do we have a price ?

Rumours have said a few months, price = everything you got.

The 5080 is at least twice the performance of your 3070ti and starts at £950 but I expect the 5080 super to be around £1200, that's my guess.

I came from a 3070tiFE to a 9070XT...big difference in performance from my perspective...not just in fps but the actual visuals as 16gb vram makes a difference compared to the 8 i was using before
by way worth looking at this if BF6 is your game

If I had the above build with £1000 to spend I’d be looking at the below upgrade:

7800X3D
9070 XT (this combo with the 7800 will rip 1440p 144hz) and the 9070 has 4080 RT performance give or take so you can definitely dip your toes into RT games
Another 2TB SSD (i love storage)

I’d much rather the above than just dropping a 5080 (Super) into it.. but that’s just me..

If you keep you card for long a time, then I would wait for the 5080 super, its in your budget range and well worth the extra performance and VRAM, future games will more than likely max out the 16GB vram of the 5080. This is not an anomaly but a general trend specially when the new consoles come out. Its either going to be just before the festive season (most likely outcome) or just after in January, its not long.

Update, Battlefield 6 has Murdered my 3070ti and im now using onboard. i need a GFX card to go with my rig and would work well, weather it be a AMD or NVIDIA etc that will be good for BF6
it will need to last a few years and i don't have have the funds now. and i cant wait on the 5080 super

My basket at OcUK:

1 x Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-SPR-03983) = £555.00

Total: £562.99 (includes delivery: £7.99)

Extremely hard to beat for the price atm, the 5070ti is a good deal more expensive.

The 9070 XT suggested above @ £555 is the best value higher-end card right now. You can get a 5070 for just over £450 @ OCUK which seems to do well in the benches, but the VRAM is a downer.

how long will this card last age wise please.

Do you mean performance wise? That'll depend on future games and your expectations/willingness to adjust settings.

I'd be surprised if you didn't get at least a solid 3-5 years out of it with good settings at 1080-1440P in the majority of games. That said, there's nothing notably faster in it shy of the 5090, you'd spend a grand on a 5080 and that's really not much of a leap in performance over the 9070XT or 5070ti. By the time the 9070XT is genuinely struggling I imagine the same will be true for the 5080.

thats what i was wanting to know, thank you. also i can go alittle more money wise, if there is anything slighty better for my buck.. please

if the 1 x Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-SPR-03983) = £555.00 is the best ill order now

Updated my post mate, it covers that bit.

There's really nothing worth moving to that offers a legitimate jump in performance, there's a bit of a no mans land between the 9070XT/5070TI/5080 and the 5090 unfortunately.

I believe BF6 absolutely loves the extra L3 in X3D CPU's, you might well be better off getting the 9070XT + one of the AM5 X3D variants over any other GPU upgrade, you could sell your 7600 to help offset costs. I would look into this more however, I don't know much about BF6 outside of third party comments so I'd be certain before going to the hassle of a CPU swap.
