My current specs are Ryzen 7 5800x 32gb ram Gtx 1070

I have been meaning for a while to get a new gpu. But all the choices are overwhelming me.

I’m not looking into changing cpu any time soon so hopefully the choice will not be bottlenecking me

The budget I have is around 500$. Don’t play anything too intense, so don’t really need anything too fancy. The heaviest games I play are mostly VR.

Quick edit: List both an AMD and Nvidia option if possible. There’s a non zero chance of me switching to Linux and want to make a more informed choice.

    Buy a used, for that money a 4060 Ti should be possible. This should give you about 70 % more FPS. So for example from 35 to 60.

    Generally spend as little as possible to meet what you need. Better upgrade more often instead, like buying the next used card next year and also selling that then old one.
