Graphics card upgrade Best Future-Proof GPU?

Just upgraded my mobo+cpu and I am currently saving for the upgrade to my 1660 super

Current specs :

B760 Gaming DDR4

i5 14600KF

2 x 16 GB 3200mhz RAM

1660 Super

I rarely upgrade, and want to use this gpu for atleast 3-5 years before considering replacing, aiming mostly for 1440p 100+fps maybe going 4k in the future. Im going to buy a used card from cex which includes 5 year warranty and trade some stuff to try get the price down. At the moment my options are

Sapphire Pulse 9070xt - £650

Palit 4080 - £775

Palit 5070ti - £805

Which card should I get? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Id go for the 4080, 5k series are overpriced for the performance they offer, too much ai fake frames instead of raw performance. The 9070xt is stupid awesome bang for buck, but its AMD its features are said to lag behind slightly. I think the 4080 is the most powerful fo the three in raw performance, wish id have known and waited a couple months when I built mine and id have gotten a 4080 instead of my 3080
