The AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT is a good choice.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I actually gotta disagree with the 5070 route if you're looking at long-term ownership! That Ultra 7 265K is such a fantastic piece of silicon and it really needs a beefier memory subsystem to stay relevant. Honestly, grab the SAPPHIRE Nitro+ Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 instead. Having 24GB of VRAM is just amazing for future-proofing and that 384-bit bus is gonna be a total lifesaver when games start getting even more unoptimized! Quick tip: always look at the memory bandwidth (GB/s) and not just the marketing clock speeds. Higher bandwidth means much better performance at 4K as textures get bigger... love that you've got a 1000W PSU to handle everything too!

^ This. Also, I am literally in the same boat with my 265K right now and it is honestly been a huge letdown trying to find a card that actually makes sense. I had high hopes but everything in this price bracket feels like a compromise... unfortunately, it seems like we are just paying more for less these days. Just to get a better idea of what you are dealing with:

• are you aiming for 4K or just high-refresh 1440p?
• do you actually care about ray tracing or just raw rasterization performance? Hard to make a call when everything feels like a side-grade or overpriced. I am still sitting on my hands too because nothing really stands out as a must buy for this CPU.

Yep, this is the way
