I'm a bit of a tight a**e, think I should establish that up front.
Currently have a MSI R9 280X bought in Jan 2014 along with a I5 3750K and 16GB RAM bought some time afterwards. I get pretty poor FPS on Battlefield 1 (from 30-60) and appalling FPS on Witcher 3 (60 after a restart, max 30 the rest of the time). I've kept an eye on CPU, disk and Mem usage while playing and it doesn't seem to be those that are the bottleneck, so I'm assuming it's the GPU.
With the prices the way they are at the moment and a maximum budget of £250-300, is it even worth upgrading the GPU do you think? I was looking at GTX1060s in that price range and while there's a bit of a performance bump, it doesn't seem to be that much. What would you do?
Appreciate any replies, I'm a bit out of date with all this stuff these days!
