Hi, I'm looking to get a new GPU so that I can play battlefield 1 when I get, I currently have a GTX 960 SSC with a i5 4690, If I buy a GTX 1060 would I have any bottleneck issues or anything else that wouldn't make the game run smooth?

 

Thanks

I just bought a 1060 with my CPU and so far it runs perfectly, the only bottleneck I experience is with games like Just Cause 3 (Minor) and assassins creed.

 

Your CPU should run fine

Do you already have a G-sync display? or 1080p 144hz display?

Because if not I'd just get an RX 470 man, that way if you upgrade your display you save money with free-sync

Also whatever you do don't buy the 3GB 1060

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

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

The 960 can run Battlefield 1, don't buy a new GPU if your only reason is that you don't think it will run BF1. I personally ugraded my 960 because I wanted more performance across the board.
