  • I’d be looking at a used 2070/Super or 3060/Ti in your situation.

    If you’re on Windows, consider that you have a year of support left with Windows 10. You can buy further security updates from Microsoft, from 0patch, or with an “unsupported” Windows 11 upgrade. There’s also Linux if the games you want to play are supported :)

    With that in mind, you can consider the alternative of limping along with what you’ve got and saving for the next year to do a more substantial upgrade / overhaul.



  • What framerate are you targeting?

    I find it highly unusual that your CPU is reaching 100% in TF2 of all games.

    Your system also shouldn’t be “unresponsive in general use” with these specifications.

    Based on paper specifications alone, I’d be leaning towards the 3060/3070 as the most meaningful upgrade in gaming performance. However, I suspect there may be an issue with your software environment or an undiagnosed hardware issue.
