ah you're right. well I think my point still stands. you still wont be getting both max settings and max framerate on the most demanding titles with a 1060. if you can get high framerates in the LoL with that card then definitely go for the monitor. You wont want to go back to 60hz afterwards.

I have this monitor and a GTX 770. Its very hard to get max setting + 144hz in anything. I think these cards are similar with the 1060 being a bit faster. I can get around 90-120 in most things if I tone the graphics way down. For modern games: overwatch,hitman,BF1, witcher, I suspect you will also get around 60 unless you really drop the settings. If you want higher settings you will have to pay for it. 1070 should get you more FPS but you'll probably be at medium still if you want that high framerate. you wont be maxing settings and FPS until you get to a 1080. For a single title check out what someone else has done in a benchmark, if they get close and have ultra settings in that benchmark then you can drop 1 or 2 settings and probably achieve the desired framerate.
