Question Stumped on what to upgrade!

[DarrylJ]

Hi. I am looking to upgrade my system and kind of stumped as to what I should upgrade. I play DCS World and recently got the Meta/Oculus Quest 3 VR Headset. I can play on the lowest settings and it looks bad which takes the immersion and enjoyment out of it. Not to mention the stuttering and bad performance. I would like to achieve better visuals along with performance. Not looking for godlike in either.

Currently, my system is

GPU: RTX 3070 FTW (8GB)
CPU: Intel i5 12600K
MB: Prime Z690M-Plus D4
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 DDR4 32Gb (Have 64gb ordered and on the way)
PSU: EVGA 750 B5 80Plus Bronze
SSD: Samsung 980 NVMe 3500mbs read/3000mbs write

I was looking at getting an RTX 4070ti Super. Then thought perhaps I should get the RTX 4070 ti or super and upgrade the CPU. I am stuck on what I should do. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Darryl

64GB Ram will help for sure
GPU with lots of VRAM as well

Biggest thing would be gpu upgrade. 8gb of vram is a bit low these days.

I'd say dump all your money on the GPU and get the RTX 4080 if you can stretch your budget a bit. If not, the RTX 4070 Super is probably the best value for new 40 series GPUs that will be a noticeable upgrade from your RTX 3070. The 12600k is going to be just fine when you're GPU limited.

If you look on amd side you may have a look at the 7900gre. That seems to be a good bang for buck at the moment.
