Just after some advice... So I recently upgraded to a 4k monitor & my trusty old 3070 struggles in certain situations. Would you all upgrade for a 4070ti super now, or wait it out to see what the 5070 offers? I kind of need it now if I'm to enjoy my monitor in it's full glory, but I can wait it out if it won't be too long, but I guess we still don't know when the 50xx will be released.

I would not plan to buy any specific GPU expected to be released in the future. If your 3070 is struggling now, now is probably the time to upgrade. But if you want to wait until better price/performance options are available, you probably dont have to wait for 5070 series. Radeon 8000-series will probably launch this year, and even if Radeon 8000 isnt quite your cup of tea, it's likely to trigger price drops for GPUs like the 4070 Ti Super.
