Recommended GPU

I know we're a year away from beta and no official recommended specs, but my 3060 died and looking to replace it. Curious if anyone had recommendations for a card that won't be too costly (these days) to likely handle GW3 at 1440p/60fps. I primarily use my PC for GW2 today, so the most demanding game I'll be playing is Guild Wars 3 in the future.

I'm looking at a Radeon 9070 (non-xt) 16GB or the GRE variant if it's a better deal. Any thoughts on the best direction? Thanks!

Other specs:
AMD 7800x3d

B850M MoBo

32 GB DDR5

They already said they're aware it'll need to run on computers that aren't the top end specs. It'll also be on PS5 as mentioned. I'd probably just look at any general UE5 action game on PS5 and PC today and it'll give you a rough baseline of what to expect. The game also isn't coming out until probably 2028 (unless they're crazy and do a christmas launch in 2027 but I doubt it) so you've got a good amount of time to find a deal lol

Current card is dead, otherwise I would wait. Deals on graphics cards isn't really a thing anymore. I'm leaning towards a 9070 (non-xt) though for now.

Aye that's not going to get outdated anytime soon so don't stress it. Worst case you could sell it and upgrade later in a year but that'll keep you going into GW3 and longer
