I have a
-BIOSTAR B450MH Motherboard
-ASUS Radeon RX580 8GB graphics card
-Ryzen 7 2700x CPU.
- 16GB RAM 3200mhz

I was wondering what's the best Graphics card (8GB) I can get to replace the one I have now? I primarily use it for playing very demanding video games with Ultra graphics and VR too?
 
Obviously you need a 4090 if you want the best :)

There is no simple answer because cost is a huge issue and if you even half followed the news you would know that the modern cards cost a lot more than older models but the difference in performance does not reflect the huge jump in pricing. Even though your card is rather old you can see on this chart where it compares to newer cards . You just have to figure out which card you like the best.

Note the rest of your computer is rather old also. The CPU may limit your frame rate but it greatly depends on the game.

I'm thinking about this one: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING OC LHR 12GB GDDR6 192-bit (rev. 2.0) GV-N3060GAMING OC-12D is it worth it?
