New GPU for i5-4570

[blackthorns]

Hi,

I already have an old set:
i5-4570
Asus Z97-A
Crucial 2x8GB DDR3 1866MHz Ballistix Sport
SLI EVGA GTX 970 acx 2.0
Corsair CS 650W
Acer Predator XB271HUbmiprz G-Sync, 165Hz 2560 x 1440

For now, I am holding back on buying completely new equipment (for 2-3 years), but I was thinking about replacing the graphics card.
My expectations is stable 60FPS with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and quite reasonable graphics settings in new games.

What would your suggestions be? I do not want to buy a card that will be a bottleneck on such a platform.

Does it even make sense to play?

I would not go past something more powerful then a 1660 super. It will play games from a few years back at 1440p and most modern games on medium-high settings (if not better) at 1440p but if anything holds you back from 60FPS in modern games it will be the CPU.

Your CPU will be a serious bottleneck. You could buy something on the second hand market (e.g. GTX 1080 or Vega 56 for ~$250) because buying something powerful and new and running into bottlenecks won't be too much fun.

1660 Super / Vega 56 / 5600 XT at the most I'd say.

CPU will hold back anything more powerful.


1440p 60 fps on a 4570 might be a struggle without sacrificing some quality settings in game.
