Looking for Gpu update (Old PC)

[Frick]

These are very old GPUs, I wouldn't buy either of them today, the 2060 is an especially bad choice having just 6 GB.

The purchase is done, but for the record the 2060 is still a decent card TBH. Played Horizon Zero Dawn at 4K on it, and some Cyberpunk 2077. For budget gaming the 2060 is a decent choice, and it doesn't use a whole ton of power. Used mine on a cheap 400W PSU (with a Ryzen 2600x) without problems.

It's enough GPU that this system won't be GPU bottlenecked in most situations.

For OP really wants to be looking at ebay for a 2700K, a 3700, or a 3700K. I see i7-2700K chips have sold for £12 recently, and the i7-3700 is often on buy-it-now for $25 if you're impatient and can't wait for a lower price through auction bids.

I know they're ancient CPUs, but for minimum spend they'll double the thread count as an easy drop-in-replacement for the i5, and there are plenty of situations where 8 threads are the difference between unplayable and smooth.

-Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz
-16,00 GB Ram DDR3
My idea is to play some new games at Full HD and Quest 2 pcvr games fluidly

Any recommendation?

From an HD4470? Quite literally anything.
Pick a used 30 series card if you can find one.
Avoid aging cards like my RX 580 and 10 series. 20 series already isn't doing too hot either.

I think cpu will be the bottleneck before the pcie ever becomes a problem.

No. USB3 controller will be trouble first.

You straight up won't get a good experience in VR games with that CPU regardless of GPU. If you want to VR game you need to upgrade that CPU.

It's fine. He can get more threads and higher core clocks to make up the difference but the lack of L2 is still gonna hurt.
3770K would be on par with my overclocked FX when that was my VR workstation. I don't like the TDP.

I can get a solid 60FPS out of a busy place loaded with a few dozen people soooo like 1.7M polys bumping into each other. It's not terrible but I'm sure you're looking for 90FPS minimum. Keep in mind what you choose will have limits either in DirectX feature level, GPU core clocks, vram speeds and overall tessellation stability. Also keep in mind anything Vulkan is likely going to be a trouble spot no matter what you choose. Your main issue is going to be a mix of vram temps, chipset temps, sata bandwidth and USB3 sucking all the bandwidth. I can't offer much advice beyond doubling your thread count and overclocking but it sounds like you're already trying to juggle what you can and can't do with that PSU. Relying on that generation of CPU technology in current year to carry your VR experience is also asking for a lot of trouble. Good luck with the rest of that. :/ I was somehow able to figure it out for myself in 2018.
