Should I wait for buying a GPU?

Hi Guys

Currently got a 5600X CPU and a 2070 super drivng a pair of AOC 144hz 1080P screens.

I play a mixture of stratagey games and first person shooters (cyberpunk, about to start space marine 2) Not particularly into competitive esports games, just like eye candy in games.

I've been thinking of getting a 5700x3d 4K screen and upgrading my graphics card.

5070 is available for £530
5070 TI is available for £750, £20 over MSRP
9070 XT is available for £690 £120 over MSRP

Supply looks to be getting better in general, should I wait another few months for the GPU market to sort itself out?
 
GPU budget? What PSU do you have an its age?
I've got a seasonic prime px 1000w (was provided as an RMA replacement for my 6 year old Seasonic Platinum SS-1000-XP)

GPU budget £700 without really thinking about it, up to £1200 if its providing better value per £

Wasnt the original MSRP of the 9070xt £570?


Incase it matters, my case is a silverstone FT05, air comes in at the bottom, exists at the top, motherboard is rotated 90 degrees

5070 is £499 at OcUK
5070 Ti available to order from £729 at OcUK.
9070 XT is in stock from £690 - correct, there was a batch of Pulse yesterday at £660 but sold out.

We hope to have another batch of Pulse and Reapers landing within next week which will be £650 ish.
Hi Gibbo, any idea when the £729 5070TIs are likely to arrive at OCUK?
