Upgrade gpu or wait?

[Drakepc]

 I want to upgrade my graphics cards for future games such as Battlefield 5. As of now, I have an rx 460 2gb paired with a ryzen 3 1200 and it performs decent. I want to be able to play future triple a games at medium settings 60 fps at the minimum. With games not releasing for a few months, should I upgrade with a gtx 1060 3gb/rx 580? Should I wait for new nvidia cards? Should i wait for gpu prices to fall?

It's your choice. Next gen nvidia GPUs are rumoured to be a lot more powerful than current gen cards. Wait for new GPUs if you can survive with the framerate your currently getting with your RX 460. Buy a GTX 1060 if you NEED a more poweful card right at this moment.

I would wait a little bit until you can afford at least a 1060 6gb or a 8gb 580, as they are much better then their lower RAM brothers (speed-wise too as they have better memory bandwidths). GPUs are fairly stagnant at the moment (we are still unsure when the next gen of cards will be released), so you will probably be waiting awhile. In the GPU world you will always be behind on tech, unfortunately. What is your budget for a card?

So, at that point I would go for a rx580 and a cheap Adaptive Sync monitor. You will be limited eye-candy wise with the r3 1200 (and to a similar degree the 580), especially if you don't overclock, but that's mostly as a warning to not expect to run everything on 1440p 144hz at ultra detail.

580 8gb are already in the $260-300+ price category, so if you need a more powerful Graphics Card get the 580 8GB and the 1060 6gb

Looking to spend around $200-$250 as a budget.

I mean whats 30-40 bucks more when your already spending 250 bucks, there isn't spoiler. 

 

Also ya this is a bad time for buying a new gpu even with MSRP pricing returning. Just wait for the next gen crap in late August or late September ish. You'll be fine with the 460. Unless you want to have horrible buyers remorse once u buy a 560 or 580 right before they release better cards for the same price. Ya thought not
