Hello there....
I have an i5-4690k, overclocked at 4480 ghz, the mb is an asus VII hero and the GCis a gtx770. In some games, like farcry4, with all the details to ultra, the graphic card works at 100%. I have no problem with the fps but i would like to upgrade it to a gtx 1060 or 1070..
Which one do you think that it is on the same level as my processor? The 1070 is too much for the i5-4690k? Is the gtx just enough? What's your suggest?
I run the games on my tv in FHD and 60mhz..

Thank you in advance for your time....
 
Solution
If you want a minimum of 60fps and to run ultra in all games then the 1070. If your happy with ultra and some dips under 60fps or dropping a few settings to acheive a minimum of 60 fps then the 1060 6gb is an excellent choice.

at 1080p 60hz, a 1060 is recommended

a 1070 is for 1440p, or 144hz 1080p
