I've been using a GTX 1070 for about three years, and it's served me well so far. However, I'm diving deeper into online poker—trying to increase my stakes—and also playing some newer games. My setup usually involves running multiple poker tables, Discord, and even crypto charts in the background. Lately, I've noticed that my 1070 has been struggling with higher settings in games like Cyberpunk.
I'm considering an upgrade to a 3060 Ti or 4060, but I'm not looking to spend too much since I manage my bankroll carefully, even for PC upgrades! I don't want to deal with medium settings for another year when it comes to gaming. Plus, switching between applications has become really slow, which is annoying. Is anyone in a similar situation, running multiple poker clients while gaming? My budget is around $300-400, and my power supply is good, so that shouldn't be a problem. Any advice would be appreciated!

The XX60 series GPUs tend to have lower performance than expected, and I've heard mixed reviews about the 40XX series too. If you're looking for better price-to-performance, maybe consider AMD cards instead, or you could invest in a better xx70 series card. That might give you more bang for your buck!
Honestly, if you're mostly lagging with all those poker tables and crypto charts open, it sounds more like a CPU and RAM problem. You might want to check your Task Manager to see if your GPU is maxed out or not. Also, just a heads up, make sure you're managing your gambling habits carefully!
First off, what are your PC's specs? Your CPU and RAM play a huge role in performance, especially when multitasking like you are. If you're experiencing lag, it could be more of a CPU and RAM issue than your GPU.
A GTX 1070 should still do the job for you. I’d recommend upgrading your RAM first to the max capacity if you haven't yet, as that often helps with performance when using browsers. Just keep an eye on your online gambling habits!
Are you wanting better settings or just faster loading times? Upgrading the GPU would definitely help with graphics settings if your CPU can keep up, but it won’t really help with load times. Those are more affected by your CPU and storage speed. Depending on your setup, you might need to prioritize your upgrade plans.
