Im playing on a pretty dated pc atm, and im now seeing struggles with fps and lag.
I mostly play Rust, tarkov and games like it all on stretch rez but during big fights, events etc i see my GPU load being at a constant 90-99% while my cpu is fine at 50-70%max.
So what im looking to upgrade is my GPU for now.

My current setup is this
Ryzen 5 5600x
NZXT Kraken x63
Gigabyte x560 gaming x atx am4
Corsairs vengeance RGB Pro 32gb ddr4 3600mhz
MSI Gaming Geforce GTX 1070Ti 8gb
Corsair RM750x 2021 750 W 80+ Modular ATX PSU
NZXT H710 Mid tower
with 2 monitors

PS, i dont want a radeon card. I like the nvidia software too much. The main thing i need help with is figuring out what card fits, and wont bottleneck the rest of my components

Firstly what is the Budget

#

If 1080p is your resolution than Go with 5060 and If ti than the 16gig Version

cosmic storm If 1080p is your resolution than Go with 5060 and If ti than the 16gig Version

i usually run 1440x1080 or 1080x1080,
i found a MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16G VENTUS 3X OC new for 440 usd
and a MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16G VENTUS 2X OC PLUS for the same price.

Both should fit in my case
