What GPU upgrade can I make for better gaming performance?
Asked by

I built my PC back in 2019 with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700x, 32 GB of DDR4 3600MHz RAM, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070, and an ASUSTek Prime X470-Pro motherboard. It still runs decently, but I'm starting to struggle with newer games. I've already upgraded the RAM and SSD, but I'm not looking for a complete overhaul—just something that can improve my FPS and keep me gaming a bit longer. Can anyone recommend a newer GPU that would work with my current setup?

If you want better FPS mainly for competitive games, you might want to think about a CPU upgrade too. But if you're strictly after a GPU, let us know your budget!

It really depends on your power supply, so check that first. Also, I'm curious—why are you looking to only upgrade the GPU?
