I want to buy a MSI GTX 1060 6Gb and replace my current GPU: Asus Radeon HD 7870 2Gb (DirectCuII).
I have two concerns about it:
the main one is connecting it to a Dell U2515H because right now it's connected via mini displayport (so it can run @1440p 60hz), which isn't present in GTX 1060 - there are 3 usual displayports, HDMI and DVI.
I've looked over different versions of hdmi and displayport and it seems that usual displayport will work fine, but I want to be 100% sure before buying the card.
So, if it should work then I have to just buy a DP-DP cable? Are all versions gonna work at 1440p 60hz, or I should look for a specific DP version?
My second concern is will my overclocked i7 920 @3.4Ghz bottleneck the card in games and if yes then how much? I've been looking online at benchmarks and game comparisons between overclocked i7 920 and newer CPUs and I think it should be fine. Am I right here?
