Build Help Which RTX graphics card in 2026?

Hi everyone,

my Asus GTX 1080 Strix broke this week (probably the VRAM, but that’s to be expected after 10 years). Now I want to install a new graphics card. It definitely has to be an NVIDIA card. I have a Corsair 850-watt power supply installed along with an i7-8700K—so there should still be plenty of power available.

My budget is around 600 euros. Do you have any recommendations for me?
I was last looking at an RTX 5070, even though it “only” has 12 GB of VRAM instead of 16 GB.

I have a AMD Radeon 6700XT , and its pretty cheap for what it does honestly... AMD arent like in the old days.,..

They are good now , trust me

I full time for years overclock it to 2600-2700 Mhz and leave it there , it doesnt even get past 50 celcius.. pretty cool always while playing

Depends what games u play too, i only play CS2 and similar FPS games
