[SOLVED] Looking for a graphics card to pair with my Ryzen 5 3600

[nickfix]

I'm looking to make my build more VR-friendly, as I find myself playing more and more inside virtual reality. I just upgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 5 3600 just a few days ago and noticed a slight performance increase, but I feel as if it could be better. My current GPU is an MSI GTX 1070 Ti 8gb.

I have a ASUS Prime B350M-A motherboard, 16GB of RAM, and a 750W PSU. Any suggestions that are compatible with this setup?

I would just wait because this year Nvidia will release the new cards and 1070Ti is still not a bad card especially if you play at 1080p. You will pay around 500$+ for a 2070 super for roughly 25% performance increase. I also have a system with 3600 and evga 1070ti and i dont see the reason for upgrade.

What VR headset? Different models run at different native resolutions and refresh rates.

I kind of agree that it might be worth waiting some months for the 30-series cards to launch. That might not be for another half a year or so though, as they haven't actually been announced yet.

How much would you consider spending for a graphics card? Technically any card on the market is likely to be compatible, but you might not want to spend $1000+ for a 2080 Ti, especially if a similar level of performance is available at much lower price point later in the year. : P

I currently have an HTC Vive, but plan on buying the Valve Index the moment it becomes available.

The 2070 Super would work great...the 2060 Super will also do well.

His 1070 Ti already offers a roughly similar level of performance as a 2060, aside from the raytracing acceleration, so a 2060 SUPER would only be around 10-15% faster, which wouldn't be worth upgrading to at all. For around $100 more, the 2070 SUPER offers 1080 Ti-like performance, which can provide over 30% higher frame rates than a 1070 Ti in games that are limited by graphics performance, which might be a bit more worth considering.

Depends on the game...in some games the 2060 Super is 40+% faster than the 1070ti...a 2070 Super, as I said above, would obviously work great too but not everyone can or even wants to drop 500$ on a gpu.
