Hi folks,

I need some help deciding on one last GPU upgrade for my gaming PC. It is from a much older generation so I do not want to overspend needlessly only to run into a bottlenek. I know that buying the latest GPU would 'futureproof' my options to a certain extent, but I would rather save where I can towards buying a whole new platform in the future.

Specs
Intel i5 4690k
16 GB DDR3
Gefore GTX 770 2Gb
Coolermaster 750W power supply
Gigabyte Gaming 3
Windows 10 Home ed.
Budget: ... not too fussed

I am just looking for a little extra performance at 1080p. Would a GTX 1070 be too much? Would a 980 not be worth it? What would be a newer card that would work well with this system without being too much of an overkill? Advice please!

1070 would be a good choice.

1080p at 60Hz/60FPS? Or are you looking for higher refresh and thus higher frame rates? Max details?

60fps would be nice, but I am generally happy with anything above 40. I am mainly looking for higher frame rates, and I must be honest that when I look at games these days, I am happy with 'High' settings as opposed to 'Ultra'. The 770 struggles a bit these days.

A 6GB 1060 would cover your needs then, I believe.

Quite right thank you for the insight. I had actually forgotten they come in a 6Gb variant.
