Best GPU for older systems?

Yup, been looking there thanks
I was using a i7-4790 about a year and a half ago and, from my experience, ti does create a noticeable bottleneck in anything higher than what you have. I was pairing it with a GTX 1660 Super and I had stuttering in Medium Intensity Conflict Zones and it was almost unplayable in High Intensity ones. After upgrading to an Ryzen 9 5900X and using the same GTX 1660 S, everything became playable (low-med settings but playable) and way smoother in Horizons.
So I recommend saving up in the CPU and all the other parts that it requires
Ground CZ are indeed very CPU intensive.
But OP is after VR, which doesn't work on-foot anyway... so going for a faster GPU should improve the VR and the space game.
I was talking about space conflict zones in VR. I didn't even try Odyssey back then, it was all Horizons. I had a similar experience with IL-2 Sturmovik where I had to turn off clouds, fog, trees, etc., to achieve non-headache inducing frame rates.
