I'm considering upgrading my graphics card to unlock the full potential of my Ryzen 7 5800x processor. Currently, I have a 1060 OC 8GB, and my specs include 64GB of DDR4 RAM. I'm only looking to change the graphics card at this time. Can anyone recommend a graphics card that would work well with my setup without causing any bottlenecks?

Before diving into recommendations, could you share what resolution your monitor is and what games you're aiming to play? Are you looking for specific frame rates and quality settings?
I primarily game at 1920x1080. Lately, I've been enjoying remakes like Resident Evil, The Witcher 3, RDR2, as well as some RPGs and single-player titles. I also play COD occasionally.
For 1440p gaming, if you can find it close to MSRP, the RTX 5070 is a solid choice these days. If you're considering 1080p, look at the RTX 5060TI. Also, the 9070XT is a great option, but be ready to pay a bit more, though I'm unsure if your CPU would bottleneck it.
I'm playing at 1080p. I thought about the 9070XT too, but I'm worried it might be too much for my processor.
Got it! So if a stable 60 FPS is your target, that's manageable for many modern cards.
