Can you shop on the day your open order expires?

Just need to know if you can use your card on the last day your open order is active

I have an open order with tomorrow's date 5/22 as the last date. Can I buy weed tomorrow on the last day before I renew my rec or nah

Thanks in advance

Really can't decide between the 3 horsemen of 1440p GPUs

I want to make the jump to 1440p with a nice OLED monitor.

I mainly play games like cyberpunk, rdr2, gta, elden ring, the usual. Throw in some shooters and sports games at 1080p 240hz

I can get a 5070 for $550

a 9070xt for $689

a 5070ti for $975 (bruh)

New contender: 9070 for $620

all pre-tax

I'm thinking the ti is easily out of the question, outrageous pricing. But I really can't decide whether 9070xt is worth $140 over the 5070 (and the loss of the more popular nvidia features)

I want to also use my old gpu as secondary (3060) to try to get lossless scaling frame generation setup on it, just to tinker and fuck around.

Any advice? Goes with a 7800x3d, 32gb ram, 850w psu

Hello fellas,

I will start by posting the rest of what I think are the relevant specs to this question:

7800x3d CPU

32gb RAM

850w PSU

RTX 3060 from my prev build (been upgrading slowly)

I currently play at 1080p and want to make the leap over to 1440p. I plan on buying an OLED monitor with 120-144HZ rate, and keeping my 240hz 1080p monitor for online games like FC, Rocket League, Apex, etc.

Single player I run games like Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, RDR2 (what a unique selection, I know lol) and with a beefier GPU will be looking to try the most modern games that come out.

As far as performance, I'd like to hit the 240hz mark for the competitive games. My 3060 can do 240 easily in RL while reaching a steady ~165 in Apex and 144 in FC (this game sucks at running high fps). I'd like to close the gap here and reach 240 in all competitive games.

Meanwhile, single player games I have loved at 120-144fps. This is the sweet spot for me and the change I can really tell the most (60->120+) while above 144 is way less noticeable for me.

What I've looked at is:

5070ti - the obvious but overpriced choice imo, can find it at 850 -1k where I'm at (South FL)

9070xt - not gonna lie, looks like the best deal pricewise. But I'm scared of AMD as I've never owned their GPUs. I also like Nvidia's features, not sure how on par AMD's FG is compared to Nvidia's.

5070 - can easily find it at or very slightly above MSRP, but not sure if this will reach the performance levels I'm looking for (correct me if i'm wrong). Although if the below is true, this one should surpass it as well.

5060ti - good option if I decide to stay 1080p, although I've seen people comment and say this card can do ~100+ fps at 1440p on games like Death Stranding 2. I will look up more videos on this card as it's the only one I haven't researched much, but if someone can confirm/deny, that'd be helpful

I'm open to any other suggestions. Looked at the 5080 to see if I could maybe find one worth it over the 5070ti but they're like 1.2k min where I'm at.

Let me know what you guys think
