So I currently have a zotac gtx 1060 3gb with a i5 4460 16 gigs of ram and ssd I currently do not like my performance I'm only getting like 60 fps on bf1 with major drops to 30 or 40.. This is due to cpu bottleneck and 3gbs of vram see it pushes past 3gbs vram on even high settings on bf1 which is rediciclous... Also its better to have i7 for bf1... So my question is it worth upgrading to a r9 fury I will be using the i5 4460 for alittle bit then I'm moving to a i7 4790k.. So will a i5 4460 bottleneck r9 fury? I also have a 600 Watt psu which is fine for a r9 fury I think.. I also want to know if 4gb hbm is enough for all 1080p gaming on even ultra on any game? I'm also Def open to ideas for different gpus money is not an issue. I like the gtx 1060 6gb but I don't think it's on par with r9 fury and the fury is cheap as hell on Amazon lol. So last question lol would it be better to do gtx 1060 6gb or r9 fury I also heard you can unlock fury to fury x.

Well HBM memory is different from gddr5 im gonna assume 4gb of hmb shuld definitely be enough since the fury is currently amds flagship and is really meant to play 1440p so u shuld be fine but id look up so more info about that there should be many youtube vids on it

I'd also like to note that I dont want to go past a gtx 1070 I honestly don't want the 1070 I meant money is not a issue for maybe the best gtx 1060 model lol

yes the 3gb of vram is prolly causing some issues but the 4460 is not bottlenecking the 1060 3gb . bf1 is just very demanding on both gpu and cpu. anyways , the fury is only a little slower than the 1070 and literally tied with it in dx12 and vulcan so it wouldnt be a bad choice at all if you can accomodate for the extra power consumption and heat. :)

Sorry for late reply my main thing is I want the gpu but would the 4 gb vram be limited in the long run I'm only going to be doing 1080p as well
