Upgrade from 3070?

[broona]

Thinking of treating my son to a new GPU sometime this year, any recommendations please? I'd prefer to stay with Nvidia if possible.

He games on a 165hz 1440P monitor, and plays just about every kind of game.

Budget, resolution, the rest of his pc specification including power supply?

RTX3070 FE
AMD Ryzen 5 5700X
Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 CPU Cooler
MSI B550-A PRO
Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3200Mhz
Corsair MP600 PRO NH 2TB
Crucial 2TB SSD
Corsair RM750i
Gamemax F15M case

He games on a 165hz 1440P monitor, and I'm thinking £500-£600

4070S or 7900GRE, I'd lean towards the latter personally.

That said, unless he's struggling with games you might want to wait until next gen. Depending on his favourite titles you might actually be better off with a CPU update to an X3D chip.

He hasn't complained about anything yet, so it must be running everything ok, I just tend to look at upgrades every 2 to 3 years, so I thought it might be about time.

I'll have a look at a CPU upgrade too, thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the replies, may as well wait for the 5xxx cards and see how they do, guess I could pick up a cheaper 4080 or similar if they drop in price on release.
