Will upgrading to an i7-6700k increase my FPS in BF4?

[Julio_17]

Hello all,

Right now I am gaming with an AMD FX-8370 paired with a GTX 1060.
Playing BF4 I'm currently getting 45-50fps on ultra 1080 and can lock in 60fps with vsync turned on solidly without any interruptions on high.
I want more!
Will upgrading to the i7-6700k greatly improve my fps if I stick to the same GTX 1060 video card?
I'd be running really tight on money if I upgrade to the 1070 and at $200 more, I would not have anymore money for a newer monitor that can output to 1440p at over 60 fps.

I think I am going i7-6700k regardless, but wanted to see what my performance boost would likely be. On the Railway map, I am really unhappy that it's not buffering at that great of a draw distance, but was unsure if that was an issue with the processor or if that issue is common among all computers.

Ty!!!

Upgrading the gpu doesn't do much.
The fx is the minimum requirement for bf1, the 1060 the recommended.
So upgrading to an i7 will probably improve fps greatly

Here's Tom's review of the 1060, they paired it with a 6700k and benchmarked some games, including BF4:

Looks like they were getting a 77 min and 97.5 avg on Ultra, but the test is from July so a lot of patches since then. And not at the railyard of course. Tashgar jeep ride I think.
