Question Replacing failed GTX 1070 working with i7 6700k processor

[Sudhanwa]

Hi All ,
So I have desktop computer with Core i7 6700k processor. Recently , my GTX 1070 graphics card failed. Now, I am planning to replace it with something comparable in 2022 [Also need to ensure that it does not bottleneck my old Skylake CPU].I need a video card that can be used with two 1080p displays.
What do you think is a good option in this case ?
Thank you in advance.

A 6600 should perform as well as the 1070. Anything 'North' of that should be a nice upgrade. Make sure to check your PSU requirements.

My PSU is RM650x [650 W].Also I am more into buying NVIDIA card .So can you suggest any NVIDIA alternative ?

Your PSU is rated for anything up to the 3070ti although I would temper that with a consideration for its age. IMO a GPU from the 3060 up would be a considerable upgrade and leave room for a later CPU/mobo/(RAM update.

OK thanks for info ,so what would be the best option from below -->
(My Max Budget is upto RTX 3070Ti)

1. Buy a RTX 3070Ti --> Use it even if it bottlenecks a CPU little bit --> Can be used as it is in case I plan to update entire system build including CPU and MOBO00-->Could be risky as you said Power Supply needs to meet to power demand
2.Buy a RTX 3070 ---> Little more safe in terms of Power consumption may be -->Can be used as it is in case I plan to update entire system build including CPU and MOBO
3.Buy a RTX 2060 ---> My build is old --->It would be stupid to spend money upgrading this build

Note : I am inclined more towards 3070 over 3060 as it is my upper budget spectrum

3070 current pricing since the drop in price is about as reasonable as it gets for the nvidia line up short of the 3080ti 12GB
