GPU On Last Breath, Best Options For Older Rig?

[C3ntury]

Hello everyone,

My system is in my specs, looking to upgrade my GPU as I believe it's giving me it's final days. I have an older rig, but it has been rock solid in gaming for about 6yrs. My biggest concern is anything bottlnecking or a GPU forcing me to upgrade other components (I don't want to do that to be honest).

I am more of a Radeon fan, but it seems Nvidia puts out more competetive GPU's. I was looking into Radeon Vega RX 64, but also the Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti or even RTX 2070 caught my eye. These about as expensive as I'd be willing to go. If there are less expensive options that would be lasting, I'd be willing to consider Thank you!

Done and done. Thank you :] I saw your email, but nothing there to let me reply (empty text box, reply button, etc). Anyways, I received an email stating "Thank you for Contacting us. We will take necessary action and update you as soon as possible." I waited about 5mins and tried reRegistering and the "Can you spell" box updated so that I could imput the correct info.

You were registered on a manual override. PM's also require a few posts so you should be able to use that feature.
