I have a gtx 970 right now and I want to upgrade to a better video card, what would be the best for the money? I have a few thoughts of graphics card I want to buy, gtx 1060 6gb, gtx 980, rx580
What is your monitor resolution/refresh rate?
Budget?
PSU?
$160 isn't enough to get you a worthwhile upgrade. The 580/1060 aren't much better then your current GPU.I bought a psu for 30$ it’s Corsair tx 650watt 80plus bronze, ima going to sell my founders gtx 970 for 100$ and my i5 3570 for 40$ so my budgets around 140-160$

For your budget, nothing right now. For a worthwhile upgrade I'd save up and get something like the RTX 2060 or at the very least a 1660 ti.What gpu would you recommend?

The 970 really shouldn't be far off unless there's a vram limit. Anyways a 1060 6gb or RX 580 is about the best you can get for your budget.To be honest I just want a gpu that can run the latest games at 60-75 hertz at ultra I’m not looking for the top notch ones

What CPU do you have?
The 1060 6gb should be fine, I just wouldn't expect a massive increase in FPS.

Whatever you do, don't get the 3gb version of the 1060 as it has less CUDA cores which results in lower performance then the 6gb version.
I am with this individual, next year we will be seeing some big stuff. But If you can, GTX 1070s are selling like crack on the used market. I've seen them from $170-200. Those kill any game ultra in 1080p and when I had mine it did well in 1440p as well. If you have the spare money then get the 1070, if not just save and sell some of your spare parts to get next year's stuffSave your money for next year as 2020 will be wild for GPUs. Intel entering the market, 7nm NVIDIA Ampere GPUs, big NAVi from AMD. You will miss out on big jump to performance.
Nah everything will be obsolete next year why bother? The 970 is still a very capable card. A 40% perf increase with the 1070 just won't cut it imho. He can get at least 100% perf increase next year. Let me clarify something, I have a strong belief that next year we will have a normal generational leap in performance, but a HUGE upgrade in performance per dollar, due to competition. Imagine a card with the performance of an RX 5700 XT for 150$. That is a possibility, since a new GPU cryptomining boom is unlikely, especially with the possibility of Monero(a major GPU mined coin) moving on with an ASIC friendly mining algorithm, rendering GPUs useless for that task.I am with this individual, next year we will be seeing some big stuff.

That's speculation based on little more than guesswork though. I suspect they will probably offer better performance than the competition at whatever price points they launch at, to help them get a foothold in the market, but there's a difference between competitive pricing and making your product half the price of the competition. They would undoubtedly want the hardware to be profitable, after all.If Intel can launch a GPU comparable to the RX 5700 XT at 200$ it is possible why not.
It isn't really important what will Intel offer, but what will NVIDIA and AMD do to prepare themselves against the competition. Just recently NVIDIA launched their Super cards in order to have an answer to the 5700 XT, even though they are the market leader at this point. They do not want to let AMD get a foot in the door especially now that they have the Ryzen momentum. What will they do to prepare themselves against a new competitor with huge available capital, resources and R&D behind them, without anyone knowing what they will offer in the market? They will create the fastest cards available for their upcoming ones and when they launch them they will have to reduce prices for their existing cards by A LOT in order to make them stay relevant and be able to clear all of the stock that will be left. NVIDIA is targeting a 65% margin. There is plenty of room for a drop.That's speculation based on little more than guesswork though.

It's also possible that their first dedicated cards could have some issues. While they have had integrated graphics in many systems for decades, due to the very low performance of that hardware, many game developers don't tend to spend much time optimizing for it. So, performance or compatibility issues may arise, particularly in existing games not tested with the new hardware. It's also possible that certain driver features could be missing at launch.
Right now, very little is known about what Intel's graphics cards will be like, how they will perform, what price ranges they will initially cover, or even when they will be launching, aside from a suggestion that at least some hardware will come in 2020, which could potentially mean a year or more from now. It's probably best not to expect too much from them, only to end up being disappointed at what eventually launches.
