Best video card for Battlefield 1 ?

It's nice to see that my 4 year old Core i7-3770 will still run this game with no issues. I just upgraded the video card on it to a GeForce 1060, so it should have a few more years of life left in it.

I'm scratching my head wondering why you wrote all that?
Does that somehow make my gpu get less than 60 fps in this game.
wait don't answer that! I'm tired of reading already.

Part of his question is how you got a card for half price right after it came out. And while the card may play this game fine for you, that doesn't make it a good card. It never was. It was over priced and slower than similarly priced cards (by quite a bit).

BF1 isn't very CPU demanding, but you forgot to talk about i3 6100 bottlenecking R9 380X/960 level card in Assassin's Creed Syndicate, ARMA 3, Rome 2 and sub-30 fps dips all over Crysis 3. Now to upgrade that PC you have, you need to sell i3 6100 with a loss in resale value and buy an i7 7700K, when you could have just purchased i7 6700K in the first place and enjoyed 14 months of superior performance. Chances are 7700K will not overclock much better than 300mhz over the average 4.7Ghz overclock of the 6700K.

There is nothing wrong with a budget i3 6100 + GTX960 but constantly paint this system only from the positive side and ignore all the benchmarks where i3 6100 or GTX960 aren't performing that well.

Sorry Russian, but have to very much disagree with you saying Battlefield is not CPU demanding. I would argue that BF3 and 4 were the most CPU demanding games of their time, and BF1 is looking to be the same. The CPU benchmarks shown are for SINGLE PLAYER.

Anybody with an i3 is going to be very CPU bound if they want to play multi player.

Sandy/Ivy were pretty legendary processors.
