Looking for a POSSIBLE better GPU. I only game at 1080p and have no immediate plans for 2K or even 4K. I do like my games to look as good as possible, and plan on watercooling my GPU also.

Currently rocking a GTX 1060 6GB Gigabyte card and an AMD 1600X CPU (Which I have plans to replace with a 2700X ASAP) and 16GB RAM.

What is a good plan? Keep my current card, or upgrade to something shiny?

I wouldn't waste the cash watercooling a 1060 tbh. Unless you've already got a full loop in. Block for the 1060 will cost almost as much as the card is worth now I'm sure :p

Joking aside. Vega56 or a 2060/1660Ti is your best option but I'd wait for Computex to see that that brings. 1060 is easily a decent card to keep you ticking over until then :)

Wait for to see what Navi brings you only need to wait for 3 weeks.


Well yes there is a good chance that in 3 weeks we will at least officially know what AMD have planned for us. Of course actual arrival of said cards may take a good bit longer than that.
