Obligatory “hey I don’t post here often so hopefully this is the right place” lol
I’ve been eyeing components to build a new PC, mainly for playing games (including War Thunder) at high settings @ 1080p, with some overhead for a 1440p monitor upgrade down the line. I’m currently using a 1080p 144hz monitor (with a gaming laptop) and would like to build something to get the most use out of it, at the very least playing with my current graphics settings of mainly high for everything (i.e. graphics preset: High), with no RayTracing and DLSS on Quality, although I assume a card for 1440p would allow me to play without using DLSS.
I’ve been thinking maybe RX 6700XT, RX 9070 (XT), or maybe the RX 6750XT would be good for those settings, especially when I’m not particularly interested in RayTracing or similar technologies. I was kinda confused as not much info appears for exactly how well each card stacks up when playing WT, at least that I could find online, so if anyone has any first hand knowledge, specs, settings and performance benchmarks would be nice to know.
Not opposed to team green but my last gaming laptop was powered by an Nvidia GPU so I wanted to try team red for my first PC build :)
Oh, here’s the specs of my old laptop if anyone’s interested:
System: AN515-45
CPU: Ryzen 5800H
GC:RTX 3070 Laptop
RAM: 32GB DDR4
OS: Windows 11
Thanks for any advice/insight anyone can give :)

I’m currently running a 9070xt + R5 9600, at 1440p. I normally run max graphics without RT or FG at 1440, and its runs smoothly, quietly, and relatively efficiently. 100+fps all game modes when I don’t run it FPS locked.
However with regional prices differences in mind, something else may do the same job but cheaper, (I’m thinking 9060xt 16gb). The 6700, and 6750 are much worse than the 9070xt performance wise but again could be cheaper and still get the job done. Although someone who was/is running a 6700/6750 would be a better judge of their current performance, as I skipped a few gens to the 9070 and have no experience with them.
At the end of the day the 9070 is a bit overkill for WT IMO, but that’s better than under-preforming.
(Just a side note about the 9070, get an 850w psu if you do go for one, I’m being a bit cheeky and running a 750w one and I’m running into power problems when not undervolted.)
Just for a bit of reference my specs are;
Ryzen 5 9600
Rx 9070xt @ 1440p
32gb DDR5 @ 6000mhz
and still running windows 10
And on the tank battle Benchmark I’m getting a score of 5271 at max graphics (-RT and no FG)
But do keep in mind a 6700/6750 is a few gens old, so you may not be able to find a new one in your area, but that is region dependent, and not really a problem if you are fine buying used.

Get a 5700/5800 X3D on a cheap AM4 board with 32GB RAM and spend the rest on the GPU. That’s if you want the best bang for the buck.
Btw laptop hardware is quite limited/choked due to temperature limits, so a 3070 in a desktop would perform considerably better than your old laptop, especially if you overclock and undervolt.

I have recently built one myself and really enjoyed it and it is working beautifully! Here you can find the specs:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PcBuild/comments/1nw2cjo/my_first_ever_build/
Instead of 4070, obviously you can get 5060 ti 16gb or 5070.
And I only used intel cuz i had it from my previous build, definitely go AMD AM5 platform.
You can send me a message or write here if you have any questions!
