2080ti replacement/upgrade suggestions (lemm.ee)

My 2080ti died today. I haven't been keeping up with PC hardware, what are some good replacements/upgrades? I game at 1440p and I'd like to be able to go max settings at 60fps.

From my quick research it seems like the 4070 super (or super ti) is good but I'm also curious what AMD is offering. My budget is pretty flexible but ideally id like to keep it around 1250 CAD

No clue about the value of a Canadian dollar but I've got a 4070 and I can do a lot of stuff at 1440p far above 60 fps.

AMD will put something like the 7800XT across from that. 7700XT might be in the ballpark but you'll be upgrading in two years.

You might wait a month or two for the 5xxx series of Nvidia unless you're really in need.

It might be interesting to have a look at the Intel line-up. Their top of the line might come close to something like a 4060ti.

Yea unfortunately I'm not really in a position to wait. I've also been told I may need to upgrade my CPU as I'm currently using a 3900x, do you think that's the case?

Not if you just want to get up and running again. A newer GPU uses a lot of its own cores and vram. But it could bottleneck there with an older CPU if you're doing intensive stuff. Gaming should remain fine, idk about brand new AAA titles tho I dipped from those companies a while back.
