I'd disagree, Control was one of the first games to heavily use ray tracing. The game's engine was designed around it and optimized for it accordingly. You really need a RTX-series card to run it as it was heavily sponsored by NVIDIA too.I've used Control as an example because I feel it is a good one of what I think should be able to run OK on it when tempering a bit with the graphic settings.

Even something like a RTX 2060 would let you run DLSS which allows a lower render resolution, so you probably could get 60FPS at 1440p around medium settings. The GTX 1070 is simply too old now (going on 6yr I think?).
I think you are likely at the end of life for your current setup with new games and anything coming down the pipe. 1440 needs power to really show it's true potential. If you can game at 60fps all the power to ya, wish I could to be honest, it would be easier on the pocket book.
I would say though, just a comment and imo, you really don't need 140-165 fps in a lot of games, including the three you mentioned I would say, but the experience of 4K on a big monitor at even 40-60 fps with VRR is very satisfying. Not directly related to the OP, but thought I'd mention.Yep the HW to drive something like Valhalla ....CP77....or FC6 at 4K 140 - 165 fps simply isnt there yet.

I avoided 4K for a long time, thinking I wouldn't be satisfied with the experience. And certainly when I (someday...) get to a 3000 series card it'll be all that much better. But I am really pleasantly surprised and enjoying 4K gaming even on my current system. Granted, that is not competitive online first-person-shooter games.
