Hey everyone! I built my PC back in late 2020 and have only upgraded the CPU so far. Now, I think it's time for a new GPU because I'm experiencing issues while streaming. My current specs are: Ryzen 5 5600X processor, MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard, 64GB of T-Force Vulcan RAM, and an Asus GeForce 1660 Super graphics card. As a Twitch streamer and Vtuber, I need a GPU that can handle both gaming and my streaming software simultaneously. I recently tried to stream RE9, and while the game runs smoothly, the encoding overloaded during the stream, and I couldn't find a fix. Any recommendations on GPUs or other upgrades I should consider?

Make sure whatever GPU you choose has at least 12GB of VRAM, especially if you're streaming. It really helps with performance in high-demand scenarios.
What’s your budget and how much wattage does your power supply have? That’s important for choosing the right GPU.
My current PSU is 500W, but I'm ready to upgrade it if necessary. I'm looking to spend up to $700 for the GPU.
