Hi there everyone I am wondering if you think it will be a good idea to get a new graphics card I have a EVGA RTX 2070 Black 8GB and I'm wondering if its time to update. Any suggestions please. I play games like assassin's creed and star wars survivor but I didn't want to buy any more games if the graphics card is not going to be powerful enough for these type of games so as I said any suggestions thank you

Tough to answer since we don't know what resolution you run or your desired frame rate and settings.

I would say the 2070 is still a capable GPU for mid-range gameplay of recent titles. Probably slipped out of the 1440p realm and down into 1080p high settings territory, but that is often good enough.

We also know nothing about the rest of your system. What CPU and Power Supply are we talking? That will make a big impact on GPU suggestions.

CPU is AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Eight Core 4.7GHz, psu 850w if that helps
Resolution, settings, desired frame rate?

RTX 4080 or 7900XTX are certainly possible. RTX4090 would probably need a 1000W PSU to be on the safe side. Assuming you want to spend that much.

6950XT at $600 is still a decent deal (Same price as the RTX4070 MSRP, though that is on sale at the moment for $560)

you can be sure it manages to do +60 fps on all newly released games at medium-low settings 1440p just to give a rough idea.

> 1080 x 1020
that's a very low resolution, you can max out any of the new games i think.
2070 is still relevant and powerful, so unless there's a game i cant play I would not upgrade (why would I? i can use the gpu, it's alive, it works, everything in games looks nice, frame rates are acceptable, im keeping it)
But a day comes where you simply cant play a certain game at lower settings, it looks too ugly, and frame rates are below 60 (i personally get headache without the 60 fps smoothness) only that day i would upgrade.
