Thank you for this!So what resolution is he going to play at? That is the most important question. If 2560x1440, the 4070ti Super is an excellent choice. If 3440x1440 ultra wide, it is still a good choice, though a 4080 Super will of course be better. If going to 4K, I would certainly want a 4080 Super.
Generally a CPU will bottleneck a GPU if your GPU is too fast and the CPU is slow and can't keep the minimum frame rate stable. For example, you may be getting 50 frame rates and you upgrade your GPU. You now get 80 frame rates average, but there are still large frame rate drops occasionally in situations where the CPU is limited. So the overall minimum frame rate will not be as stable. Average is important but you also want consistency and a high minimum frame rate. Your CPU will not be limiting your GPU. A 7800XD3 is better for gaming than the CPU selected, though that has more cores so might be better in productivity. The difference isn't that big though and it is an excellent CPU.
For example, you can view my benchmarks with a 7800X3D and a slower 4070 Super at 2560x1440. You can view the Cyberpunk settings here.

Dying Light 2. I have ray tracing enabled as well as DLSS.

If you are going to use ray tracing, you will need to use DLSS and possibly frame generation.
With his new screen hes gonna play at 2560x1440, since it doesnt support higher then that.
He wanted to grab a philips evnia screen at first, but then found out of the asus rog strix monitor, and decided that is good enough for what he wants, and not getting the evnia.
The evnia had 4k though, but he realised he'd need at least a 4080, or maybe even a 4090 to crank the settings up and still get enjoyable frame rates.
So all in all, its a step up for him nevertheless, with the 4070 ti super and the asus rog strix 1440p monitor.
He now has a simple samsung 24 inch screen that even lacks a DP connection lol. So, no HDR, no g-sync, no high refresh, no local dimming, nothing.
His new asus rog strix is 27 inch, has hdr400 (not the best, but still better then nothing) nvidia certified g-sync (so no compatible with g-sync), 175hz, and local dimming (although it isnt that great, but still better then nothing)
I myself am going to check out how games and stuff look at his screen, and then i might switch myself over to a samsung odyssey g7, which also has local dimming and even hdr600.
Nevertheless, i think my question is solved, so thanks a lot for everything!
This whole bottleneck drama needs to stop. Buy the card you want and leave the damn thing alone.
Honestly, if you think its drama, then i don't agree with it. I think its a fair question, cause were new to the table here, and don't know everything ourself yet.
But as the question is solved, probally fewer replies, or none whatsoever comes here anymore, so your wish is fulfilled i think
