Pretty sure my gpu is starting to fail, its a gtx 1660 super, when I get a new card should I get another of what I already have or should I upgrade and if so, what should I upgrade to?
 
What country are you located and what is your budget? Also, what are your system specs, like power supply wattage?

It helps when recommending a video card to know these.

RTX 4090, the bestest in the world and possibly universe, you will have 0FPS if you opt for anything lower :p


obviously I am being slightly sarcastic, though you saying I want to buy a new car what should I buy without giving any idication of budget or other req's is kinda useless if you ask what you should buy, budget being the key indicator, also what are the rest of your specs? you could have a 266MHz Pentium ii MMX for all we know, in which case a 1660 super would be as useful as a chocolate teapot
 
We also got no idea what you're using your GPU for. Gaming? Render?

RX 6750 XT or better
 
Go second hand and buy yourself a 3080. That will play any games that you might play for the foreseeable future.
Stick to resolution 1080p. Then most games will be able to run with all the bells and whistles.
If you have unlimited budget buy a RTX5090 upon release. Remember your cpu must be good enough to compliment the GPU or you will see a bottleneck and your performance will be lower than expected.
Buy a second hand AM4 motherboard and a 5000X3d cpu and you should be golden.

I have a 3080 10GB and a 4K120 monitor, nothing to complain. Bought the card ½yrs ago, paid 450EUR with a waterblock.
 
Ideal, enjoy the system.

Almost a month later and no updates?!

I guess we'll never know what OP's specs, location or performance needs are. :shadedshu:
