Hello, fairly new to the forum so apologies if I misplace this kind of post on the wrong section of the forum, but I have been pretty confused in which GPU I should upgrade on from here...
Currently I'm trying to decide between the GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1070, and possibly GTX 1070 Ti.. I don't know if the 1070 Ti will be held back by my CPU which is the i7-7700 @ 3.60GHz. My aim is to go for a GPU that I could hold on to for a very long time (around 2 to 3 years), and can run higher taxing games at max or high settings with a factor for streaming.
At the moment I have a GTX 1050 Ti and for comparison, I run Monster Hunter World (optimization issues aside) at low settings to hit a semi-consistent 60 fps. Another would be Final Fantasy XIV at medium-high settings to hit the consistent 60 fps mark. I'm looking to have both these games and games of this caliber be run at 60 fps constantly at high/max.
Granted GPU is not the only factor for this, but i'm focusing on upgrading that part first as I've been told it's the weakest part that I have right now.
I'd also prefer Nvidia, but it's mostly due to familiarity and I'm not opposed to looking for Radeon cards as well but I have no knowledge of those nor do I know if I could support it.
Also budget-wise I'd prefer it to not be at the price of the GTX 1070 Ti, which is also a reason why I'm not decided on that card.
For clarity, I have:
CPU: Intel i7-7700 @ 3.60GHz
Motherboard: MSI B250M-PRO VDH, LGA 1151
Memory: 2x8 GB DDR4-2400
SSD Boot Drive with HDD Storage
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti
