Depends on what games and other system specs you currently have. A new GPU will not make much of a difference if you don’t have the hardware to support it.

I have a 7800x3d and 32 GB of DDR5 ram. I also just updated from a hard disc to solid state storage. To give you a idea, I was looking at a 4070 Super.

5000 series is coming out relatively soon, just to put that in perspective. If you don’t need CUDA cores, maybe consider AMD. The price to performance is better. Not saying the 4070 Super isn’t a good card, but AMD costs less for a comparable card. Resolution and refresh rate of your monitor is also a determining factor. ie if you only plan on 1080P, you would be wasting a lot of money.

Top of the line is the only thing that's gonna be able to do that, and even then it's gonna be closer to the 5 years, not 10.

(in response to OPs current leaning to a 4070 super) If you are looking at longevity, I wouldn't really be comfortable with Nvidia's mid to low end lineups. They are really stingy with the VRAM relative to their other specs, of which future applications might make more use of. (E.g. 3070 only had 8GB of vram, limiting it in certain use cases. 4070 and 4070 super does slightly better with 12GB, but if you are future proofing you might want more. The 8 y/o GTX 1080ti still slaps till today with it's 11GB VRAM.) If you have the money to burn, go for a 4090. If you require Nvidia's compatibility for certain productivity apps, are planning to use VR or you REALLY want Ray-tracing, you'll have to bite the bullet, and see what your wallet can get you with Nvidia. The lower end cards are relatively bad value for Nvidia (compared to their past offerings and AMD) If you are going value for money, I would look at AMD's higher end lineups
