GPU Advice Request: Upgrading 4770 to i7 9600 (lemm.ee)

I'm upgrading from a 4770 to a 9600. This is my budget free living room PC build. I'm trying to keep everything even bottleneck wise.

Helldovers is starting to chug like I put water in my cars gas tank. My Gtx1060 is...old.

What GPU should I upgrade to? I was looking at 2080s for around $200.

Does anyone have any better ideas?

Bummer on the Intel card. $250 is hard to come by with new hardware!

Missing from this comparison is the 6650XT and the 6750XT, so you might look up benchmarks to see how they fare against others.

Either way, I think you have a lot of good options that you could potentially get for a good price.

Yes, thank you for this. I'm going to dig more though some options. It might be just me, but the CPU/GPU benchmark and bottleneck sites seem like their just covering their asses on performances? Like they don't want to be explicit about pairing cards and processors.
