Considering going from a EVGA 760 4GB to EVGA 1060 6GB . Any advice would be great.

I currently have the 760 from 2013 and it's been a great card, and to be honest it ran the Battlefield1 alpha and beta just fine at 60hz 1080p ( i dont recall the reso 1920x1080 i think) with HIGH settings I think. However, I'm curious if anyone knows how much of an improvement upgrading would actually provide. The card I want to buy is the 1060 SC 6G, it's running around $250 ish. I have a 1ms monitor that can max at 76hz I believe, but I stay in 60hz. Thanks for your input in advance!

You want a very good card
The 1060 will at least double the performance and is ideal card for 1920x1080 monitors. So you will be able to run any game on highest settings.
I hope you have an i5 CPU at least, as the BF1 kinda sensitive to CPU.

Sorry I forgot to mention it's a AMD 8350 8 core running at 4ghz. I thought I unparked the cores, but not sure anymore.

well, that AMD 8350 is roughly equal to i5 in gaming, so no problem - don't see reason to change anything.
Go for the 1060.

Thank you for clarifying that so quickly. Have a nice weekend!

What does mostly welcome mean? Does that mean he's somewhat not welcome? 😛

 

[n0ns3ns3]

it means as much as possible welcome 😛

Going from a GTX 760 to a GTX 1060 is a pretty decent jump (think going from a GTX 950 to GTX 980 - about the same thing). That said, your FX-8350 will hold back a GTX 1060 6GB a fair bit in CPU intensive areas of games (its certainly no current i5 equivalent).

Understood, thank you~! Mostly ;P
