Hey everyone!
I am looking at upgrading my graphics card for my pc.
I have a Asus TUF X470-plus gaming, Ryzen 3 2200g, 16gb 3600 RAM, and currently a MSI RX 570 8G graphics card.

I was wondering what would be a good fit to upgrade to without having to practically upgrade everything if its even possible for my build.

Thanks!

First of all, try this simple test to see if your processor can benefit from a better graphics card:
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
This makes the graphics card loaf a bit.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

Now is not a good time to try to upgrade a graphics card if buying new.
Good cards are in short supply and price gouging has jacked up prices past msrp.

Your RX570 is still a decent card.
If you upgrade, make it a meaningful upgrade or you may be disappointed if you do not see magical results.
Find your card on tom's GPU hierarchy list...

I would think at least a GTX1660 class card at least
