Hello, really need to upgrade my GPU as 960 is not enough for the games I play (POE, HOTS, Dark Souls, WOW). Would you recommend purchasing 1060 now or wait for 2050 or 2060? When do they even come out??

well, maybe q2 or q3 if you're lucky, but those probebly don't have raytracing. I would get a rx580 or 1060 6gb, the cheapest of the two. as long as it is a good card of course

How is a 960 not enough for those games? Are you running them in 4k max settings?

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.9 Ghz  | Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD


Inside some old case I found lying around.

You should be buying an RX 570/580 at this point if you're in the US

Or a used 980ti

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

nobody has asked what I think should be the first question:  what are your full system specs - including which monitor you're using?

 

next question will be what your budget for a new video card is (assuming that is the weakest link in the chain).
