My R9 360 has been overheating, and so I downloaded stuff like SpeedFan and MSI afterburner to see if I can fix the problem...

Umm, they can't, 'cuz when I tried the "test the GPU in another PC" I found out the fan is physically broken - one of the blades fell off at some point and now it spins very selectively. (probably as a safety feature).

Anyways:

Current Video Card is, naturally, the R9 360 (although after the latest patch it's being reported as an R7, but the label and engravings/embossments? on the card physically say R9.

Naturally, I'll be checking gpu-passmark, but I was hoping there was some sort of "meta-card" that everyone just auto-uses when they don't care.

I don't need super-super settings, like multi-monitor support.

For you, GTX 1050 maybe? I'm hoping to upgrade my R9 280X to an RX 580 but it's a terrible time to shop for GPUs as a everyday consumer. Crypto currency has fucked up the supply hard.

I could just get a second R9 360, since the problem is with the fan - not the quality

You could also jerryrig a case fan onto your video card for the meanwhile. The exuberant demands for consumer GPU's will probably die within the year.

This is the absolute worst time to buy a graphics card, I bought a GTX 1070 for roughly $370 USD after the rebate back in January and now GTX 1070s go for $450 or more easily.

If you need it now then you have no choice, but prices may come down over the next few months.

I can continue to play 2D games no problem. But anything that pings on the 3D spikes the heat up quite rapidly.

I have the luxury of a nice chilly air conditioned room so simple ... convection? Will keep it from redlining.

It looks like my top options are:
GTX 980, 960, 950, 1050/Ti, and of course - just replace it with another R7/9 360

Watch the deal sites! The 1070 was under $200 with coupon on a few sites. :O
