Hello. I have a I7 2600 with 16 gb ram and GTX 1060 3GB. I currently dont have enough money and dont think it is worth it for me to upgrade the whole system since the processor is holding up well to this day. I want to upgrade my GTX 1060 3GB. What is the best option that will not be considerably bottlenecked by the processor?

Budget 200-300€

I would wait for new releases if you want cuda cores, if not amd cards maybe a 5700

 

Edit : rtx would probs bottleneck the RX 5700 XT seems optimal here

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help

If you can wait a little longer (couple of months), wait and stock some money up for the new releases from both Nvidia and AMD.

If not, depending on your budget you might try the used market or an amd 5700.

Right now. 

5600xt. Would recommend waiting for ampere and big Navi. Save up more and potentially even move to a different platform if you're able to.

Crap meant to say 5600 (still maybe not the best card for the cpu but yeah)

Used 1070 or a 1660 super probably the most to pair with that older chip
