Another Graphics card comparison Request GTX 670

[TheHeadShotNinja]

So Ill try and make this quick and easy to answer because I'm sure you guys are all bored to death of answering these. I don't usually come here unless I can't find the solution somewhere else and this is one of those times

Here's what's up. Its the holiday's and I am looking to use the savings to do a little GPU upgrade, Right now I have a GTX 670 and I am looking to upgrade to an RX 480 or a gtx 1060. My question is, What kind of performance increase will I see If I move to the RX 480. (technically the 1060 is a little over budget but I do prefer nvidia products, so if there is a significant performance increase I would get it)

Current hardware
CPU Fx-6300
GPU GTX
RAM 8 gigs
2 350gb HDDS

What I use it for

1080p gaming on

BF3
ALIEN Isolation
Dirty bomb
SW Battlefront
Dirt Rally
Warframe
Battlefield 1


No VR use intended

Those sites never give accurate results, Im looking for an experienced answer
Besides I Want to know What kind of performance increase I will see going to a better card, not which new card is better

A RX 480 or GTX 1060 6G would give a roughly 75-95% performance boost over a GTX 670. However your FX-6300 may limit that to some extent.

You should just be able to do an easy search on google or youtube to see raw FPS comparisons of each card then.

GTX 670 vs GTX 1060

GTX 670 vs Radeon RX 480

Or use one of these resources to compare specifications / scores

Edit: and yes, like Baralis said, your CPU will throttle your GPU a bit

Really? that much? and yah I know I am also planning a cpu upgrade in the future just not right now.

I did but I couldn't find any direct comparisons, I guess because the 670 is an older card, and yah I know
And yes I've looked at those but gpuboss and the like are very gimmicky and I don't trust their results

It would be an appreciable increase in performance.

Overall the GTX1060 is the better card however most of the games you primarily planning on playing are AMD titles. So it may be worth going the RX480 route if you can get a good deal.

From 2012 to 2015 I had a GTX 670 paired with an FX-6300 @ 4.3 GHz. When I got an i5-4690k I was surprised how much the FX was holding the GTX 670 back. I'd estimate my FPS jumped 15% on average in most games on a 1920x1200 monitor. Basically, your not going to see nearly the improvement you should going to a stronger GPU. If I were you I'd concentrate on replacing your PC before getting a better video card.

Here are a few gaming benchmark comparisons.
