Gtx 1060 for 1080p

[chris ryan]

I will primarily be playing rainbow six siege and am want to achieve 100+ fps on 1080p and was wondering if I could with a 1060, I will also have a i5 7600k

 

thanks in advance and if you have any builds around $1500 AUD that you could link me would be much appreciated

Do you have a monitor or need a monitor? If you have one already, what model?

What about other peripherals?

Should be able to do so on high-med, would go for an Ryzen 5 over the i5 though.

I would highly recommend something with G-Sync if you're going for high refresh rate to eliminate screen tearing.

The unfortunately part though is that will pretty much double the price of the monitor =/

Yeah I know, do you think free sync would be alright?

The gtx 1060 is a great graphics card for 1080p gaming on high settings, but what type of graphics card are you getting, the 3GB model or the 6GB model, because I would go for the 6GB model because it has more frame buffer. For the CPU choice, I would go for something like a ryzen 5 1600 or ryzen 7 1700. With a budget of 1500AUD, I think that you could build a great gaming pc that should easily be able to play rainbow six seige over 100+ fps or even higher.

Freesync with an AMD GPU would be good, yah.

I have a 1060 3GB version and a 60hz monitor. If I crank up all the settings to max with 16x AA I get 130- 180 fps in Crossout.

Is that game more demanding that rainbow six?

I'll look into it

Is this a good pc build for around $1500AUD. The original price of the build comes in at $1572.60 and includes shipping ($15.47).

I know everyone will think I'm trolling but even 4K 60 FPS (as long as it's not a typical benchmark game) is easily possible with GTX 1060 since it overclocks so well, so for 1080p you'll be absolutely fine at higher framerates.

i would not go with i5 imo, if you really need intel, go for at least an i7... with ryzen in the cpu game, the i3 n i5 series look abit dated now in contrast afaik.

only 7700/7700k has the edge so far as of today for intel's current offering.

 

but a 1060 should do 1080p fine

Seconded this, i5 7600k is awful investment, get a b250 board with the i7 7700 instead.

 

a GTX 1060 is perfectly fine for 1920x1080p as long as you're not a max ultra settings freak, if you are then not even a GTX 1070 can keep up with all max out depending on the game at 1080p you'd need the GTX 1080.

The 6gb one would be best because of the extra VRAM. As long as you turn down the settings to a minimum which, to be honest defeats the purpose of buying an expensive 4k monitor just to play with potato settings.
