Popping in for a random question.

I'm running a XFX Radeon R9 290 4 GB Double Dissipation Video Card.

What is a solid yet, not overly expensive upgrade from there? I am running thing relatively fine. Little stutter on some games.

Computer only has 8gb Ram, but planning on upping to at least double

1070s are going for that price used, which is a significantly better card

What's the jump from a 1070 to the next card? Big price jump or like $50 increments?

Wish I had a hierarchy of recent graphic cards

Right on queue for your little butt buddy.

It's so cute how you always come running to his and a few other of your cliques aid.

You are the true SJW. Never change!

Yeah, bad advice.

But he also isn't a hobbyist. Doesn't know much about things from hands on experience.
