1440p/144Hz w/ GTX 1070: 5700 XT worthwhile upgrade?

Currently using a 1440p/144Hz monitor paired with a GTX 1070. I tend to play everything max settings at 1440p so e-sport titles like Overwatch and Apex hit the 90+ mark while others AAA games I play hit the 60+ mark, sometimes with settings turned down a bit. I'm looking to upgrade so all my e-sport titles hit 144fps and AAA titles will run 60 - 100fps without having to sacrifice my quality settings. The 5700 XT is in my price range but I'm wondering if it's worth the upgrade over a GTX 1070, or maybe I should save up a bit more and go with a RTX 2070S? Anything over a 2070S is outside what I'm willing to pay. Looking for some input from someone with a similar setup.

 

Hardware it would be paired with:

 

* Ryzen 7 1700X

* 16gb 3200MHz Memory

* MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon

 

Any input is appreciated.

First of all, the rx 5700xt performs similar to a 2070super, only difference is rtx. Second, you might want to look at your PSU if it can handle the rx 5700 xt. Third, enjoy ?

If they preform within ~5% if each other I'd rather go with the 5700 XT. Cheaper and I have no need for ray tracing. I've got a 850W 80+ Gold PSU so I don't have any worries about that. It's overkill, but it was on sale for such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. Thanks, buddy!

You don't ''need'' to upgrade IMHO, the GTX 1070 is good enough for what you do. I would look into buying a CPU\Motherboard which can squeeze some extra FPS and be faster overall then the 1700. If you board doesnt support Zen 2 then you can try updgrading to a 2700. But even upgrading CPU is worthless.

Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler.

Second System: Ryzen 2400G, Gigabyte B450 DS3H, RX 580 Nitro+, Kingston A400 SSD, Team T-Force 3200mhz CL15

If it ain't overclocked it ain't good...
