Questions about saver award booked on swiss + united

Hey, had some questions that I've gotten different answers too online about a recent award. basically international one way arriving from abroad to us. Abroad flights are swiss business. Then in the us one short 1 hour connecting leg in economy cause first wasn't available. My questions:

For bags, swiss lets you take 2 carry on + personal + 2 checked. 2 checked will go all the way, but for the 2 carry ons, given that even in first united domestic doesn't offer that, will they let me two bring on or at least gate check one without paying for another bag.

Second question. For lounge access. The connecting terminal is IAD. Given i'm coming in on a business ticket, does it give lounge access? Not the biggest deal cause have pp access but curious where i should go.

Thx!

Deciding between 9060 xt, 9070, 9070 xt, 5070.

Hi all, i am trying to decide between these 3 gpus for if they are worth the price differential or not.

9060 xt would be 405.

9070 would be 535.

5070 would be 550.

9070 xt would be 625.

All from xfx, first two swift and the 70 xt quicksilver. Mostly game at 1440p, indie games, mulptiplayer, and some AAA but very few. Looking for longevity. Appreciate any advice or opinions.

Deciding Gpu for use in old productivity desktop machine for gaming.

Hey, all the title says I need some help deciding what GPU to get.

For background context, I usually game on ps5 but for multiplayer games PC still is kind of needed, especially with Crossplay being so ass. currently play on an old laptop with an i5 9400 and the GTX 1050 mobile. It does like 30 fps even on low. The game, I like the popular multiplayer ones like chained together, repo peak, risk of rain 2, Minecraft, and the like. Now, I also have a Home server running some services on Linux that has an i5 9400. it is an acer tc 885. What are Gpu? I need to replace the PSU so I don’t think that plays into effect. But I don’t really want to build a whole new PC in this so I was thinking about just tossing and calling it a day. It does not support rebar so that tosses out the Intel Gpus. The gpus I’m looking at are as follows, new and Including tax and shipping.

$330 - xtx swift 9060 xt 16 oc

$420 - powercooler reaper 9070 16

$475 - powercooler reaper 9070 xt 16

525 - gtx 5070 12

ir I look for a used gpu on marketplace lol.

So I guess my questions are, given that even the lowest tier card will be severely CPU bottlenecked is it worth to spend the extra on the higher cards? In addition i don't foresee myself building a whole new pc for another 4 years or so if that. Is it even worth going for a higher cards for future proofing when I might need to replace anyway when I do build a dedicated gaming pc? would the higher end gpus retain their price more that the price differential now wouldn’t matter?

If relevant my current monitor is a 3440x1440 Oled that my old gaming laptop can’t even drive fully lmao.

I really appreciate any advice and opinions thank you!

As title says, hoping for some clarity of basically anyone experiencing the opposite, where it has been pending with the correct order amount and doesn't come through. Any datapoints on this? Thank in advance!
