I know, I'm dumb. But what next?

GTX 1060 6GB would be your best bet if you can afford it.

Posted

So, I just replaced my G3258 with a 4690k (i wanted to still be able to overclock but have more cores without spending a huge amount of money. I do a fair amount of rendering that is CPU only). I still have a 750ti for my graphics, but I want to upgrade that later too. Not to sure what the best option would be, but is a 1050ti or a 1060 an ok choice for that CPU?

I would lie to stay on the green side, as I already use many of the Nvidia only features, and would like to keep them.

 

To tinkering, and not to planned obsolescence!

You can get a 1060 6GB or a 1070. II wouldn't go with the 1080 unless your monitor is 1440@144hz.
