[SOLVED] Upgrading from MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III OC

[derigueur]

Hi guys, I currently have a MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III but I recently found two issues which makes me think it's time for an upgrade. Firstly only one of the fans spins and the second is that when using Adobe Lightroom there seems to be a slight lag and my PWM PC fans start to increase which makes me think that my GPU potentially can't keep up with the tasks?

I would like to know what GPU would be recommended as a replacement, my CPU is an i7-3770k.

"One good way too upgrade an old PC is to slap on a good ol' 1050ti"
That's what they say.

The 1050ti, 1060, Rx 570 are all good combos for the old and well know i7-3770k.

Thanks for your response, I forgot to mention my monitor is 1440p, would it be best if I go for a 1660 or even a RTX 2000-series line?

Well I don't think you would need an RTX 2000 series GPU with a 3770k.
a 1660 would be a good option

But what is your clock speed for your 3770k? that is an old processor, but can overclock well.

I think a gtx 1060 would be a good upgrade.
