Hello, I want a new graphics card as mine is not doing the job. I want a card that can run a solid 60 fps on high tier games like PUBG, h1z1, etc. I am on a major budget. My pc is below.

AMD Eight-Core FX-8320 Vishera Processor 3.50GHz


8GB system memory (Expandable up to 16GB)


1TB hard drive


24x double-layer DVD+/-R/RW/CD-R/RW drive


10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet


AMD Radeon RX-460 Graphics
2GB of dedicated graphics memory

Honestly, I would have thought it would bottleneck too. This guy on youtube says it's fine with an 8350.

You won't get 60 fps on everything, but it looks like it can still push that card a little. I would still recommend a new cpu/board/ram as soon as you are able to upgrade it though.

That said, I would attempt to overclock your cpu as high as you can. Hopefully helping it's bad ipc to hold it back a little less. This is coming from an AMD guy. Liking the new Ryzen 1600:).

You should be able to get good FPS with the 6GB GTX 1060 or the 8GB RX 580 and be able to play new games around 60fps @1080p resolutions. Between the two cards just buy the cheaper one because (performance wise) they are pretty similar.
 
The single core performance of that cpu is really bad so I doubt you'll be able to sustain 60fps with any graphics card. You might want to YouTube PUBG Gameplay regarding your cpu with a gtx 1050ti and see the results. This way you'll be able to make an informed decision. Investing in a higher performing graphics card will result in the law of diminishing returns as the card won't be able to perform to it's full potential.

A bit WRONG!!!

AMD FX 8320 and NVIDIA GTX 1060, All depends on the game and RESOLUTION, for example at 1080p games like Call of duty average 100 fps. Check all the different games on this video. You will be able to even play at 1440p. But i do agree that the FX 8320 will bottleneck the GTX 1060 overall performance. You should try overclocking your CPU.

Your funny! How can you state I'm wrong, but later in your response agree by stating "But I do agree that the FX 8320 will bottleneck the gtx 1060 overall performance"? Due to etherium bitcoin mining, its not worth spending extra money on an over priced a gtx 1060, just to have it's performance be limited by a cpu bottleneck.

A bit Wrong ;) that's what I said. we all know that the FX line has really bad IPC but paired with a GTX 1060 will be able to play new games around 60FPS.
