I have to buy a new gpu, I've been waiting for the latest AMD and Nvidia cards to come out but I have many doubts and few certainties.
I need a video card that performs well in both 2k and 4k. i have 2 monitors and sometimes i play on the 2k one and sometimes i play on the 4k one.
there are many models with various strengths and weaknesses, and I really don't know which model to get. give me some advice. I want a high-end product, so even if I'm not that enthusiastic, the budget is 1k dollars or so. thanks

$1000, with some wiggle room, will get you an RTX 4070 Ti, RX 7900 XT, or RX 7900 XTX. Otherwise you can hope some of the last gen products like the RTX 3070, RTX 3080, RX 6800 XT, or RX 6900 XT drop off in price.

However depending on your power supply, you may need to replace/upgrade that.

the power supply is not a problem, I have a 1000w supernova evga.
I need the best performing video card that heats the least. I had problems with a 2080ti due to the temperature of my room.

The new 4000 series Nvidia cards are super cool and less power hungry. My 4080 never gets over 66 or 67C during gaming. But the 4080 will cost you around $1300. The 4070ti, should even run cooler. It goes on sale tomorrow, should run around $850 to 950. But we will find out tomorrow if they will be available.

I don't think older gen will drop much in price. The trend is rather going up.....

I suspect it is still going to be what can you actually find that is in stock to buy. There is still a lot of scalping going on.

I doubt you will be able to get a 4070ti any time real soon even though its been trashed by pretty much every review site. Even the 4080 was being scalped for the first month or so.
Then you have to avoid the 7900xt until AMD explains how you know which ones are defective and which are not.

This is one of those if you had not done like everyone else and waited to find out the vendors themselve decided to sell for scalper pricing you could have picked up new 3080 or 3090 fairly reasonably priced 5 months ago. The price on those card is now sky high also again.

Even though it is above your budget I suspect 4080 is going to be your best option and you can actually still get the card.

I think I'm buying one between the 4070ti and the 4080. The prices are crazy, but unfortunately there is no way out. The RTX maybe in some games are under the AMD, but just enable the DLSS and bye bye amd. they don't have the famous amd thermal problems and in the case of the 4070 it also consumes less energy.
I'm silent on the RT because I don't want to rage on the amd.

I just ask you to suggest me a reliable partner.thank you!!

First you need to decide on a base product line....ie do you want a 4070 or a 7900 etc.

If you are going after reference/founders type cards they will be exactly the same since they must be made to the exact specifications. Maybe you get different stickers on them.
Problem is the partners make very little money on these so they tend to use their manufacturing capacity to make their more expensive lines.

After that it is hard to compare. The partners will increase things like clock rates but then also must provide better cooling. This quickly gets into all the minor details of what all the letters and numbers mean even between similar cards within a partners line.
You seldom see benchmark numbers that have all the possible card variations.

I wanted a gpu that does stable 100fps in 4k with ultra details. RT is not a priority, I prefer a gpu that consumes little and has low temperatures. I live in a hot place and having a gpu that heats up a lot is not fun.
unfortunately I know very well that it takes more than 1k dollars, but it doesn't matter, unfortunately the world goes like this.
