So I have Intel W3550 processor and I'm planning to get new gpu. Will w3550 bottleneck gtx 950, gtx 960 or gtx 1060? What gpu would you choose if you would have w3550?
 
Solution
Your processor is rather powerful, It could handle a GTX 950 like a breeze, i wouldnt recommend the GTX 960 due to the poor cost/performance ratio. Get the GTX 1060, 3GB is for $199 and the 6GB is for $250. If you have a Freesync screen and need a graphics card get the RX 480 instead of the GTX 1060.
