Situation: My son has a GTX 770 that needs to be upgraded. He games at 1080p.
I game at 2560x1080p (love the ultrawide) and currently have a GTX 1070. Plan is give my 1070 to my son and buy myself something new.
Problem: I've been researching all the latest cards and drawing a blank. The RTX 2060 isn't much of an upgrade from my 1070 and since I'm not gaming at 1440p anyway it seems like the only real thing it offers is ray tracing support. The GTX 1660 Ti is pretty much neck and neck with my 1070. And the GTX 1660 vanilla would be fine if I buy it for my son and keep my 1070. The RTX 2070 is $500. Wow.
Question: For 2560x1080p can you recommend an upgrade from my 1070?
EDIT: FYI, I did try an RX 580 8GB as a christmas gift but he had endless crashes playing black ops 4 and other games. I troubleshot it for more than a week and out of frustration moved it to his brothers computer who doesnt play games much. He hasn't had any problems yet. No idea what caused it. But I want to go nvidia on this next purchase.
