So GAF, I asked this in the Red Dead PC thread too, just looking for some quick advice. I have been running a 970 for a number of years now, and I'm looking to upgrade. I want to get in to ray tracing, and my price range caps out around 500. Is a RTX 2070 Super my best bet?
I just acquired an i7 4790 with 16GB RAM for free, so I want to pop a graphics card in it and see what I can get. My current system is an old i7 2600 with 16GB RAM and the 970. I did some comparisons and it looks like the CPU upgrade is about an 11% increase in overall gaming performance, so I'm obviously going make the majority of the upgrade with the graphics card.
If the RTX 2070 isn't my best bet, I'd love recommendations. I never looked at Radeon before, but I'm not against it.
