GPU upgrade help

[NEONTNT]

I have a i7 8700k and i am seeming to have a GPU bottle neck (have a 1060) and I need help deciding what the best GPU for my CPU.

have 1080p 144 Hrtz monitor and a 1080p 60 Hrtz monitor.

Assuming you're only gaming on the 144hz monitor, a 2070 or similar should be more than enough. What games do you play?

Is your 1060 performance in line with other benchmarks? If not, I'd suggest uninstalling drivers through a program called DDU and reinstalling from the Nvidia website before doing anything else.

5700 XT or 2070 Super would be all the GPU you should need for that.

I play mostly Satisfactory and Overwatch and am noticing that my GPU is getting upwards to 80 degrees celcius and am using most if not all of the GPU

This is also a useful and relevant video: Pay attention to the $500 ish tier

hmm try gpu cooling tho. but if you still want to upgrade go for 5700/xt because you dont need an RTX

The temperature is fine, and using all of the GPU is what you want, since it will give you the most FPS.

You should be getting ~120 FPS with your 1060 on overwatch. If you're getting near or under 100, I'd say your GPU is underperforming and you should re-install drivers.
