Question Seeking GPU recommendation for a B450 Pro4 with Ryzen 7 5800X3D and 32 GB RAM

Hello,

I am looking for recommendations on a new GPU for my machine (preferably Nvidia). My motherboard seems to be a bottleneck, but I would like to get a few more years out of this build, and the GPU seems like the best upgrade to make:

ProcessorAMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor, 3.40 GHz
RAM32.0 GB (30.9 GB usable)
GPUGeForce RTX 2060
MotherboardASRock B450 Pro4
Monitor 1Acer KG271 C (144 hz)
Monitor 2HP M27ha (60 hz)
SystemWindows 10 (64-bit operating system, x64-based processor)

From what I've seen, my B450 Pro4 chipset only supports PCIe 3.0. It looks like a GeForce RTX 3070, RTX 3080,
RTX 4060 Ti, and 4070 Ti Super all seem like good options, but wanted to see if I’m missing any contenders. I am under the impression the 4070 Ti Super is just about the most powerful Nvidia option for my Mobo. I'm only 144 hz at 1080p.

Am I right in thinking a new GPU will breathe a few more years of life into this machine now that I have a 5800X3D?

Thanks!

Also for contenders you could also look at amd cards like the 7600, 7600xt, 7700xt, 7800xt etc. though amd is supposed to be bringing new cards out in March like the 9070 and 9070 xt, they claim those should be better with ray tracing, they be contenders as well.

4070 super is also a good option im using it for 1440p and it does fine. pulls max 220w
 
At 1080p, PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 will not make much difference, so as long as your mobo has a 16x slot and you have the psu to power it, any card will work, but a 4090 (or 5090) will likely be bottlenecked by the 5800X3D. I guess a 4070 or 7900XT would be good options for this CPU. But if I was you I would also invest on a new monitor. There are many good and affordable 1440p options on the market and a 4070/5800x3d combo is perfect for this.
