Hello, Im currently running a Nvidia GTX 750ti but it just isnt hitting the targets i want anymore so im looking in investing in a new card for my rig. I hope one of these cards could last around 3 years as i cannot afford to throw money at a computer and i would like if possible to run at max/high settings at 50 - 60 FPS as my 750Ti only does 20 - 30 on medium settings

Thank you in advance.

it depends on the individual prices. sometimes you can get a rx 480, which is clearly better, for cheaper than a rx 470. out of the 3 the gtx 1060 3gb is the strongest performer so i would go for that one unless you can get the others for significantly cheaper.

The 3gb variant of the 1060 will never outperform an rx-480. You're thinking of the 6gb variant, which does trade blows. The 3gb 1060 is at least 10% weaker than its 6gb brother due to the loss of an SM and halving of its ram.

Yeah, if your budget allows it def go for the 480....you will really like all games at 60+fps and the money you save on a 470 over 3yrs will be pennies a month.
