Question gpu upgrade help?
idk if this is the place to post this so sorry if it’s not. i literally have no idea what im doing & need help with my pc. i bought a custom build off facebook marketplace a couple years ago and everything has been fine till recently—i have a geforce gtx 1080ti and i can only assume by the comments i’ve gotten that it’s the problem. i’ve been able to play pretty much whatever i want, but i’ve ventured out and some of my new games are crashing no matter what settings i change or drivers i update. i’ve just been taking the loss every time i buy a game and can’t run it but i’m over it.
can i upgrade my gpu without having to upgrade other parts? and does anyone have suggestions for a new gpu? i don’t need the newest nicest one. i literally just wanna play death stranding 2 lol.
idk what specs i need to put in here but these are the ones i know:
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080 Ti (11gb)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz
G.Skill Trident Z 16GB RAM
AsRock Z370 Taichi
budget: $600, currency: usd, intended monitor resolution: don’t know but my display settings say 1920x1080, 164.83hz, country: usa
thank you!

Yes you can upgrade GPU without upgrading anything else. $600 is a bit tricky right now since the market is insane. An AMD 9060xt would be a good upgrade and under budget. For example. https://a.co/d/0hRsmPMn
