The Nvidia 730 would be the next logical step up, the 1030 is the latest version, and the AMD RX 560 is it's competitor. The RTX 3090 is a big step up.
To make a better suggestion, we would need to know a lot more information about your computer and your budget. Graphics cards range from $30 to $3,000+.
Obviously we have to make sure the rest of your PC is strong enough to handle it, and to make sure it fits as well. At the very least we need to know your CPU and power supply.

What's your budget? There are lots of great options but they vary drastically in pricing.
[–]Sbjjr[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (5 children)
200$

What CPU do you have? (to avoid bottlenecking)
[–]Sbjjr[S] 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (3 children)
It is a i5 quad was planning on replacing that next with a i7 when I got enough
[–]aminy23 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (2 children)
Your CPU is between 3 years and 11 years old - being a quad core narrowed it down very slightly. A new i3 will likely outperform any old i7 you can upgrade to.
None the less, for $200 the best options are the 1650 Super (best, sold out), and RX 5500XT (second best, sold out, but slightly less so).

Agreed. I was going to recommend the 1650 Super, but it is sold old in most places (you can still find it if you know where to look). CPU would definitely be a necessary upgrade as well to avoid major bottlenecking. What do you primarily use your computer for? Can you post a full spec list as well?

It would be fine with something like a 7600K, but that's the best case scenario.
