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

Given your stated desire for 1440p@60 fps with max settings, it seems your priority is graphical fidelity above all else. To me that would mean not using stuff like DLSS or FSR, relying on the raw power of the card instead. In that case I would agree with Limonene's recommendation of the 7900 XTX given your budget. It has raw compute on par with the more expensive 4080 (Super), and comes with as much VRAM as a 4090.

You should note its TDP is about 100W higher than that of the 2080 Ti, so you'll want to make sure your PSU can handle it or otherwise factor that into your budget if you haven't already. And since you'd be going from nVidia to AMD I would recommend using DDU to remove your old drivers.
