Hello, i got some money to spent on my pc.Right know i have r9 380 4GB with ryzen 1600x, 2x8 gb 3000 Ram and 75 Hz monitor.I decide to upgrade my graphic card, here is my options;
1.Upgrade to ASUS GeForce GTX1070 DUAL OC
2.Upgrade to MSI GeForce GTX1060 ARMOR 6GB OC + Aoc 144hz monitor
or any suggest ?
 
Solution
The 1060 is more than adequate for that. Presumably the resolution is less than 1920 x 1080? I imagine for the 21.5 monitor, you could consider the 1060 3GB as a less expensive solution.

If unlikely to be playing games that want more than 3GB VRAM, the same card could be fine for the 144 monitor. There's not a huge difference between the 3GB and 6GB cards, other than 3GB of VRAM. Some games want more than 3GB, but the system will still cope with them.
