New GPU

[mart1985]

I have the following system:

AMD R7 3700X
RTX 2070 SUPER
Giga 750W 80 Plus Gold
Giga X570 Gaming X
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB

I have got into Cod Warzone this year and have had several threads on trying to improve my FPS. I am currently playing at 1440p as the quality on 1080p sucks, but am only getting 80-90 FPS. It has been recommended I get an RTX 3080 but we all know how likely that is going to be for the foreseeable future. On this basis, my options appear to be to:

1) Wait for supply - looking like Feb/March at the earliest?
2) Overclock existing card
3) Buy a 3090

I have no knowledge of OC'ing, would it even be worth it for my current card? I have seen threads that suggest up to a 15% improvement is possible but that would only translate to say 20 FPS, where as I really want to be pushing it towards the 140/150 range.

I am aware the 3090 is going to be overkill, but is there an argument it also 'future proofs' me for the next few years? If I did go down that route, I would presumably need to upgrade my PSU but would the rest of the system be sufficient to utilise it?

I feel like I really noticed the difference at 140 FPS at 1080p and my game seems to lag so bad at 1440p. I know the servers are crap but there seems to be a noticeable difference.

I have seen a few people suggesting 120ish is more achievable @greatash but I have tried everything and it doesn't budge from that range for me.

I'm certainly not suggesting my current system is unplayable @Hellsmk2 @RobinGopher and normally I would just wait for stock of the 3080, but with everything that has gone on this year I am obviously using my pc a lot more and barely spent any money so the 3090 seemed feasible to look into, providing it was going to be of a long term benefit and not just a short term upgrade for Warzone.

Thank you for the suggestions @GloriousMess and @Marine-RX179 I will play around with settings and see if any of those make a difference to the FPS.

I haven't tried turning off ray tracing so I will give that a go @hugobosslives I know I can get much higher FPS at 1080p but I just can't stand the look of the game and waiting for scenery to render when scoping in on things in the distance. Seems like that is the general consensus with the 3090 route and if it is just going to result in me needing to upgrade other components then it will be a serious outlay. Will play around with settings advised and see if that makes a difference whilst waiting on the 3080.
