I need suggestions for a build (using AMD GPU) that will run AAA titles at about 60fps but at high or ultra graphics quality and I am not interested in playing at 1440p at 144hz, although I would like to if I could.
I consider that the only drawback is that I am interested in playing PS3 and Switch games emulated, so, I need a good CPU and that will increase the price although I would prefer to have a bottleneck by the CPU than by the GPU.
Thanks and sorry if details are missing but I had written a much longer post but there was a blackout and everything was deleted, and I'm too lazy to write it again.
Considering in some parts I have seen the Ryzen 9 5900X and 6700XT 10GB as good options.
I don't think you can max out the latest AAA games, including Alan Wake 2, and have no drops below 60 on a 3070 though. Am I wrong?
I don't think you're wrong. Yet OP mentioned the 6700xt, which I believe is slower than the 3070...
Kinda why I recommend looking at the gamers nexus articles, because that should give them a good idea of what the current AAA performance of the cards is and would allow some extrapolation based on what they think is relevant to them.
Unless OP goes for flagship GPUs, there's going to be AAA titles in 2-3 years that won't run at 60fps 1080p Ultra settings. Especially if they want it to be all big budget games.
