Replacing my GPU

 

I currently run a Dual monitor setup, one at 1080p 144mhz 1ms, the other at 1080p 6ms (cant find refresh rate, presumably 60mhz) off of a RX480. I am having issues with games like Rainbow Six Siege randomly crashing, and my screens going black. It doesn't seem to be anything in my system other than the GPU. Its also bottle necks my PC, as I cant overclock without experiencing a stuttering in games so bad they are unplayable. So I have been looking into replacements, especially with black Friday and cyber Monday coming up. Right now it seems my best options for my usage are the 1080, 2070, and1070ti. Im leaning more towards a 1080 or 2070, as I am planning on picking up some newer titles soon. However I am not sure which one I should go for. I cant seem to find any solid deals that make one or the other worth it. So I could use some help deciding between the two, and possibly selecting one.

Budget: $600, but its flexible

I have a preference for Asus Strix cards, because all my RGB lighting uses Asus Aura Sync, and I like it all to match up. But a good deal is a good deal, so I wont limit myself to just these.

Any help is appreciated.

Jesus Christ I'd like to see what a 144 Mhz refresh rate display looks like. /s

 

How is it a bottleneck? a 480 is plenty for 1080p 144hz for Rainbow Six Siege.
Did you actually check if anything was wrong? Display cables? Monitors? Bad drivers?

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.9 Ghz  | Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD


Inside some old case I found lying around.

Cables are all brand new, plugged in correctly, the monitors are newer than the card. Drivers are all up to date, and running correctly. Im not really sure what it is, but ever since I put this GPU in this system, ive had issues with it. It doesn't seem to be playing well with everything else.

I'm not getting you. So monitors are newer than the card but you say

Meaning you were using a GPU before the 480?

Have you tried swapping back to that old GPU? Rolling back to previous version of drivers?

I was using the GPU in an older system. I built this one at the beginning of the year when GPU prices were outrageous, so I just recycled my old one. But ive had issues with it the entire time. The monitors I am running now are much better than the single monitor I used to run on this GPU, so I feel like that its part of the issue. I have the same issues just running a single monitor, and if this GPU cant handle two monitors, I would rather replace it anyway.
