Upgrade from a GTX 970 - help please

[Goldenrig]

Hi,

Im looking for some help upgrading my graphics card, currently my GTX 970 will play all my games pretty well on ultra, but ive noticed on some newer games such as shadow of the tomb raider im having to drop the settings from ultra to high for a smoother frame rate. Im not bothered about 4k gaming yet as i wont be upgrading to that for a while, so it will be 1080p for now. What would be a good card to replace my GTX 970?

I think you really need to be looking at 1660-1660ti or a Veg56 as a minimum.
Depends on your budget though.

Depends on budget - Davedree is right.

1660Ti is a good choice, or Vega 56 if you don't mind a bit of tweaking and the high power requirements.

I recently went from a r9 390 (970 equivalent) to the Vega 64. Has been a great upgrade for the price - my aim was 1440p gaming. For 1080p gaming Vega 56 would do stellar job. Or 1660Ti if you are wanting to stick with Nvidea.

Again as said above, depends on your budget.

so the 1660TI would be a noticeable upgrade you think?

so the 1660TI would be a noticeable upgrade you think?

Coming from the GTX970 to the 1660ti, it would be around 40~50% faster.

So in scenes where your 970 was getting 40fps before, it would probably be around 52~60fps on the 1660ti.
