Hey just looking for advice, I have a bad EVGA 1070 GTX SC. Really loved the card it still handles most games i play @1080 120hz no problem. I need a new card but I've sorta gotten out of the industry a bit, looking for advice as to what a solid upgrade from my card would be without breaking the bank. 2k is the most i think i can see myself needing for res, currently running 2 1080 monitors still. Not sure if 8gb is still needed for high end gaming these days or if the hardware can do more with less ram or what. But yeah ideally under like 300 if possible, and obviously EVGA cards. 
 
tl;dr
Is it possible to get a solid upgrade from a 1070 gtx for under 300?

    Comparable to 1070 for under $300.?
    Not in my opinion.
    Closest might be a 2060 Super and your talking $450 when taxes shipping etc

    Isn't your 1070 still under warranty ?

    Based on your budget, I'd wait for the next gen, especially if you're looking to game on 1440p (2K).

    RTX 2060 would be a decent upgrade since you are running at 1080p. I would recommend the RTX 2060 Super if you make the move though.

    Main PC | Secondary PC
    Intel i9 10900K | Intel i7 9700K
    MSI MEG Z490 ACE | Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Master
    ASUS TUF RTX 3090 | NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super
    32GB G.Skill Trident Z Royal 4000MHz CL18 | 32GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 4266MHz CL17
    SuperFlower Platinum SE 1200w | Seasonic X-1250
    Samsung EVO 970 1TB and Crucial P5 1TB | Intel 760p 1TB and Crucial MX100 512GB
