A GTX 1060 would be be enough.

Or spend a litte more and be sure you have enough power for the next year(s). The question is what you want to spend $$

1060 because more cost effective. The 480 if a non-ref. version is cheaper for you than the 1060.

1070 if you want high fps high refresh gaming, the 1060 is plenty for 60fps 1080p.

Like he said. It depends on your refresh rate, games you play and prefered video settings.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

I have a 144hz monitor

then the 1070 does make a little more sense if you actually want high fps gaming. but it also depends on what games you're going to play.

I own both a Gigabyte 1060 6GB and an ASUS 1070. The 1060 is an absolute beast for 1080p. I'd get the 6GB version though.

Depends on the games bro. He says he plays mainly CS GO and Overwatch. The 1060 can pull 144fps easy in those

would the 1060 be good enough for high settings at 60hz for escape from tarkov?
