link to my pc specs: https://www.asus.com/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-G20CI-Oculus-Ready/specifications/

so the pc came with a NVIDIA Geforce gtx 1080 and it worked fine for 5 years until it crapped out. ive been having trouble finding a replacement card. ive looked at the rtx 2070 or 2060 but im not sure. please leave suggestions on cards that will fit in my case and work with my pc.

thanks

How can it be 5 years old when the 1080 only game out 3 years ago?
Is it a reference 1080?

Obviously, what card you get depends on your budget. Personally, I wouldn't go with anything less than a 2060. If you can manage a 2070 or 2080, then go for it.

I’ve looked at a teardown and you need a blower card. Anything else will overheat due to lack of space and airflow.

now that you mentioned it, it hasnt been 5 years lol. its prob been since like late 2015 or 2016. but yea if you can help me find a viable replacement to the gtx 1080 i had before that would help. as you said it prob needs to be blower style cause of the stupid compact case.

Probably a blower 2070 or 5700XT would work best if they fit in the case

Dunno what dimensions are required. One blower style cooler is as good as the next
