New Graphics Card Help

I currently have an NVidia GTX 1070 (MSI motherboard, Intel i7-7700K 4.20 GHz, 16 gig memory).  BTW I posted earlier asking for advice on a PSU because I have the dreaded Apevia 800W power supply.  The replacement is coming tomorrow (thanks for the suggestions).

You should think about 3070 at least, or 3080 if it possible
The cheapest solution is 2070 super. 
Nothing,below 2070S is actual now

"Honestly the GTX 1080 I have one in my aging pc, and its just not enough these days. at least for 1440p if you plan on playing newer games."

"All three Metro games and their redux's for the first two, The Outer Worlds, The Witcher III, Doom Eternal,  CP 2077. They are all not fine at 1440p"

I run Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, first 2 Metro games at 1440P ultra only on a 1070Ti and it's fine. I play Quake Champions 1440P ultra. Third Metro game I can't. Outer Worlds no way and i don't have Witcher so I don't know about that game. CP 2077 I'm never buying that game. You running antivirus? Might try uninstalling it totally. I have to go check my settings but I'm pretty sure I run Project Cars 2 too at 1440p ultra with Vsync. </span>

Doom Eternal will run into places with some massive drops that are noticeable just due to the massive drop while still keeping a high FPS count yet you feel the drop in the game play and its very noticeable the whole going from 14X FPS down to into the 70's all of a sudden. Metro 2033 is running on the Last Light Engine and Last Light Redux is on the same engine as Exodus I do believe, big FPS drops when things get crazy Like going from 80+ down to high 30's to 40's in a mere second. The Outer worlds with FPS dropping into the 30's with all the eye candy turned on. Cyberpunk 2077 is pure out amazing but the card cannot even keep up all settings are set to medium, high, to ultra, with the EZ Configuration Mod. average FPS is 30-50, with drops down to 28 at times.  Have over 180 hours put into CP 2077.</span><br style="font-family: Roboto, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: Roboto, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="Roboto, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">1070 Ti and a 1080 are both barely 1440p cards if you like eye candy in newer titles, once you start moving to newer gen and newer tech they become more like 1080p cards. Now the RTX 3070 is the new 1440p card and the 3080 is the overkill of 1440p if you like all eye candy. Those videos would also matter some if the rest of my system was the same, its eight years old. A 4 almost 5 year old video card, and an 8 year old cpu/mobo are way past their prime, especially after the cpu architecture performance nerf that came to all OS's that came after the exploit vulnerability on CPU's.

If you want to see where a 1080 or a guesstimate of the 1070 TI stands in today’s more demanding games.
