The game resolution pixels scale at integer ratios to the screen. A 1080p game pixel will do, for example, a 2x2 pixel block on a 4K screen. You can game at 1080p and use the full 4K resolution for everything else.Not sure what that is, as I said games I play look fine at 1050P.
I certainly want to upgrade just not now. Feels like I’d be screwed regarding the card.

Of course, all this DLSS & FSR complicates it all.
Sounds great it’s just what I mentioned earlier about getting on the video card treadmill. I get an over priced card to kind of play at a better resolution but not really play at a better resolution.The game resolution pixels scale at integer ratios to the screen.

That fits my situation really well. I really would like to upgrade to a 43' monitor. I have a price watch on the AORUS FV43U, and am really thinking about getting it if it goes down below $700. I spend a significant amount of my time working large spreadsheets, and it would be really nice to have that extra screen estate.FSR makes it reasonable to buy a 4k monitor without a 4k gpu. I use FSR and RSR in basically every game I play since I run a 4k monitor but more like a 1440p gpu (6700 XT) and I'm pretty pleased with the results. 1440p FSR/RSR and 1800p FSR/RSR look really nice on the screen.
How many bad ASROCK mobos have you encountered exactly?Are Asrock GPU's as bad as their MBs?
Most of the complaints come from poor power stages, cooling for them, and underperforming in benchmarks with high end CPUs from both companies. They have certainly had their fair share of hit or miss boards.How many bad ASROCK mobos have you encountered exactly?
I have an ASROCK mobo. A lot of other forum members too. Haven't heard anything too awful about them.

I have to agree my extremely brief googling shows this is about 4 times the power of my 1660ti and four years newer.NewEgg has AIB asrock for $800

Still too expensive IMO, should be $650.
Finally caved and bought a 4070 Ti because of an Amex offer of 20% cash back, which brought the price down to $690 before tax. $800+ is too much, but under $700 is acceptable. Previously I was considering a 3080 but the price never made sense. Also considered the 6800XT before but couldn't find one that is around 12" in length. Glad I waited.
Unfortunately Dell doesn't sell AMD video cards. Their video card selection is extremely limited.If it's not too late, you may want to to reconsider. The 7900XT is down about that price and comes with 20GB of RAM. It's also a bit faster if not using RT. Unless you really care about ray tracing I think you would be better off with the 7900XT, as it will likely be useful longer. Again, outside of RT. JMHO.

Edit: forgot to mention, the amex offer is for Dell only

Are Asrock GPU's as bad as their MBs?
Maybe some people are more inclined to push less expensive boards to the max possible overclocks smoking them because they think they have less to lose or they expect $1500 performance from a $150 board.I have been running Asrock motherboards for ages (Intel and AMD), and I have never had a single issue. Now, I have not run one of their lower end boards, and perhaps those ones are not great going off the other comments here. But the higher end ones I have used work well. The VRMs have adequate cooling, BIOS updates have come when needed, including newer CPU support.
I have zero knowledge on their GPUs though. Though they would not be my first choice.
The thing that irks me is, aren't Nvidia and AMD supposed to certify these AIBs' graphics cards for reliability and a good enough cooling solution that prevents the fans from sounding like a scary loud jet engine? Even the XFX RX 580 I had wasn't as loud in normal use as the newer GPUs I have now (3090 and RX 6800).
What the heck went wrong with this industry? When did it become acceptable to sell super expensive noise pollution devices to consumers? Why should I as a GPU user have to mess with fan profiles or undervolting to experience a relatively quiet gaming experience?
