Hey all, so recently my GPU crapped out and so now I am in the hunt for a new one and I was looking towards a GTX 1050/1050ti/1060 but wasn’t entirely sure what might be best.
My PC is a gaming rig as that’s about all I use it for. Nothing too intense or graphically demanding (overwatch/PUBG/rocket league/Diablo3/etc...) my biggest concern is that I don’t upgrade my GPU to a point where my CPU bottlenecks it however that is not something that I completely understand. I was looking for some advice on what might be the best option to buy based on my current components.
NOTE:I do plan to build a new pc in the next year or so, so this is just something that can play 1080p with decent FPS as I know almost anything will be an upgrade from my previous card. Like mentioned biggest concern is best value and not to bottleneck.
Thanks all for your input!!
