The 970 is long enough in the tooth now that even entry level cards give it a good kicking performance wise.
The very newly released 1650 super (dont get a non super 1650) for example, only costs about 150$~. Or a an AMD RX580.
Both are much better cards and will give 60 fps in high in most titles at 1080p.
If you want to go beyond 1080p, 100fps etc future proof etc spend moah.
If you just want 1080p gaming you dont need to look at the 20 series of cards, they are overkill for that resolution, a 1660ti or 1660 super will crush at 1080p.
The thing to consider if you are gaming at 1080p (or any resolution really) is do you want to spend money to push a game from 70fps say to 85 fps at ultra?
You are not going to be playing at 70 fps and wishing it was 85.
The money getting what is pretty much just a statistical difference would be much better spent on components that will deliver a more noticeable and concrete perform boost.
