Have you considered an Intel Arc? The A series seem to slowly be discontinued but there's rumours about the B series getting more variants in the not so distant future. At least the price is right, the compatibility with your games is a question mark. If the game is compatible the performance level is good.

Yes, I have considered the Intel cards and they have some goods stats and prices from what I see. I would buy one if it was just for a monitor.

The deal breaker for me is that they don't have native Oculus support (Meta dropped them because of problems with their drivers supposedly) and I don't want to hack them to get them to work. (I've read that it's doable) but I have enough issues getting natively supported cards optimized.

Must be 10 years or so ago now. I got a rebate due to legal action taken against Nvidia for selling either a 960 or 970 (had both) as 3GB of RAM but it didn't have that much useable.

I looked it up, was the 970. Sold as 4GB but only 3.5GB was high speed.
