Hello all.
Kindly assist me in deciding a graphics card upgrade.
My current PC build is as follows:
i5 4460
2x8GB 1600MHz Ram
H81 based ASUS motherboard
ASUS Strix 960 2GB
Coolermaster PSU 550W
I am happy with the graphics compromise and around 25/30 min fps with this setup on Assassins Creed Odyssey
Now I am planning to "just" upgrade the graphics card to extend this build for 3 years (with AS:O criteria)
My options are (please do not advice from newegg etc or AMD, it is not applicable for me. Options are limited and inflated here):
208$ MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GT OCV1
224$ MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB
250$ Zotac Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Twin Fan 6GB GDDR5
256$ Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6GB
262$ Asus TUF GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6GB
272$ Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming 6GB
278$ Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming OC 6GB
300$ Zotac Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB GDDR6
I am inclined towards "250$ Zotac Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Twin Fan 6GB GDDR5"
My queries are:

My queries are:
- Is my CPU very low, and will it bottleneck by large margin?
- I am expecting 1.2 times fps gain with 1660, will it not be?
- Which option is the best with current PC build?
