Hello everyone,
I am looking to upgrade my GPU from an ASUS Radeon HD 7770 (2GB) to either an RX 580 (8GB) or a GTX 1060 (6GB). I wanted to ask for your opinion on which card to go with. I was hoping to "future-proof" the graphics for about 2-3 years. Do I need more than 4GB of VRAM? I game at 1080p, and probably won't upgrade to a 4K display until my next build (hopefully 2-3 years).
Also, I just checked for bottleneck using The Bottlenecker. According to the calculator, there is an average bottleneck of 76% (and recommended is 10% or less). What are your opinions on this calculator and bottleneck itself? It also recommended an RX 570.
System Specs:
Ivy Bridge - i5-3570k @ 4.2Ghz
24GB DDR3 RAM (2x4GB and 2x8GB)
Radeon HD 7770
1x SSD - 240GB
1x HDD (5400rpm) - 2TB
ASUS Z77 Sabertooth Motherboard
Thank you all!
