Always the best you can afford. I would go for either a GTX 1070 or a GTX 1080. The 970/980 are good cards, but why upgrading to old tech. And for VR the 10XX series of cards would be better anyway. There will be a GTX 1080Ti somewhen this year,maybe if you have the patience wait for this one to arrive. But I bet it is pretty expensive. Maybe the prices of the 1070 and 1080 cards will drop a bit when it is released.

Upgrading the video card for one generation is not worth the price.

That depends on your resolution.

For 1080p the AMD RX480 8GB is a better choice and will keep getting better than the 1060. If you're planning on keeping your GPU for several generations go with AMD, if you plan on upgrading your monitor go with AMD for 0$ FreeSync instead of $200+ extra for G-Sync.

 

For 1440p or more get the 1070 though.

I really think you should wait then and do a whole PC upgrade. I don't think a 1060 paired with an FX8370 will handle VR well.

None of them. I'd wait until spring then pull the trigger on the new 1080ti version NVidia is polishing up right now.

 

I'm not yet sold on the whole 3D thing yet as things need to be improved in the monitor area. But even so, if 3D is your thing the 1080 can handle it no problem. Next gen 3D with the NVidia TITAN even better but the cost is over the top and with the ti version coming out will kind make the TITAN not worth the cost.

I upgraded from a GTX 770 2GB as well a couple weeks ago, ended up with the RX 480 8GB and couldn't be happier with it. It's about the same price as the GTX 1060 but substantially faster in addition to offering multi-gpu support, should you ever decide to go that route. In terms of raw performance, the current generation GPU lineup is as follows (from fastest to slowest):

 

1) GTX 1080

2) GTX 1070

3) RX 480 8GB

4) RX 480 4GB

5) GTX 1060 6GB

6) RX 470 8GB

7) RX 470 4GB

8) GTX 1060 3GB

9) GTX 1050TI

10) RX 460

11) GTX 1050

 

This raw performance isn't everything of course, AMD cards have less efficient DX11 drivers and so they aren't achieving their full potential at this time in either BoS or DCS, but they are getting better it seems. And the raw performance advantage they have seems to compensate for the inferior DX11 drivers. It's worth mentioning they have superior DX12 and Vulcan drivers though, so if you play other games too, then the RX 480 is the clear winner. There is nothing close about it, the GTX 1060 is not a competitive product at its current price point the instant you leave DX11.

Think about an RX 480 8GB, but waiting for the new AMD cards to come out I think...

[=TBAS=Sshadow14]

FX8370 @ Stock clocks will struggle to fully use any GTX above 8xx really. (you will never see 99% GPu usage before you see 99% CPu usage aka bottle necking.

Even the FX8350 @ 4.4Ghz (Mine) Bottlenecks on a GTX960 SOC when its maxed out on Valley benchmark and others.

Im a big AMD fan (never had an intel)
But if you are wanting to run GTX10XX (a good card and not a cheap one) you will need a good intel
