I don't care about price, what's the best alternative to a EVGA branded GTX 1050? My GPU is giving me a black screen now after iRacing sessions and I can no longer update the driver.

GPU is having spastic freakouts, while I would prefer to stick to small form factor, I'm thinking this won't be an issue. Just disregard budget, I'll take any suggestions beyond building a new PC or trying to get on the AM5 platform. AM4 works perfectly fine for me, I just want something that feels more "modern" or will at least will be even with the rest of my specs.
