BTW @Hishighness, you should consider the RX 480 4GB over the GTX 1060 3GB. Last time I checked, the 6GB model was supposed to compete with the RX 480 and the 3GB with the RX 470.

A 470 is in fact considerably worse than a 480 4gb (even a 470 8gb) so a 1060 3gb still wins

Oh well, at least I have something that will run games well for a while for cheap. And I already bought the card and it's en route but thanks anyway on that front. :)

If your playing at 1080p...it will do great...I use a 2gb r9 270 at 1080p and i does great for me. I mostly play BF4 on high settings average 70fps with zero dips below 60fps multiplayer 64 player. So a 1060 should do GREAT

Based on this...I don't see there being that much of a need to upgrade for a long time. By that time would come around...there will newer gpu's on the market aside from gtx 10xx and AMD first gen vega etc...

 

If only playing at 1080p.....again I will say...the 3770 and 1060 will hold its own for a while longer. imho
