Question Which Graphics card to buy? Struggling to decide or do I wait?

[thedude300]

I'm in Ontario, Canada.
I'm absolutely kicking myself for not jumping on the pricing error at Canada computers for $499.99 6750XT Asus Dual.
The price point has ruined everything else I look at now because I view it as all over priced. I still lean towards the 6700xt or 6750xt but I keep seeing the 3060ti recommended over it.
My current rig has a Gigabyte 1070. I recently got a 1440p monitor and I can see it struggling now. I want to upgrade but I'm not entirely sure its the right time with these prices.
Anyway, what would you recommend? Hold off and wait and see what comes out and down in price. Or which card should I upgrade to for 1440p gaming that will hopefully give me the years my 1070 had? I want some future-proofing. I was thinking of even going the 3070 or 3070ti route but it seems expensive.

The purpose is for gaming mostly FPS and RTS

4060 hopefully will be a good choice.

Hopefully you are correct. Tom’s had an article up showing that the 3060 might have more cores etc. might be that you will be better off with one of the current options but we won’t know until they release the card, not sure on that date though.

I hope that you come back in time to still get the RX 6700 XT for $500CAD. It would be terrible if you missed out on that too. I just checked and it's still on but who knows what tomorrow will bring.
