i7 860 compatilble graphics cards?

[Yeet227]

Budget (including currency): $1500 AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming and video editing and programming

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): i was hoping to play at 1080p i do have A 60hz Monitor 

i have an i7 860 and a GTX 1060 6GB i was hoping if a GTX 1660 or something more high-end would be helpful because i would like to hit high FPS without bottlenecking

 

If someone could help that would be much appreciated

Isn't the cpu already bottlenecking your gpu? You could check your usage percentages with Msi Afterburner and Rivatuner. I doubt a 1660 would result in an fps boost.

What’s the gpu utilization, also is the cpu overclocked? That’s the best way a cpu of that age won’t bottleneck a somewhat modern gpu

The CPU is not overclocked and the GPU is 80 - 90% utilisation while playing almost any AAA game

I would agree with this too. I can't see a GPU upgrade improving performance.
