I am looking to upgrade my GPU potentially but wanted to make sure I picked a card that will benefit my system and not be overkill.  Based on my specs, what you would suggest?  I am looking for better performance in P3d as a whole.  I was told that the top of line cards wouldn’t benefit my system but thought I would confirm.  Thanks!

Hi

p3dv4 uses the cpu more than the gpu, with respect to fsx the cpu has been downloaded a little work to deposit it on the gpu.

Your gpu is perfect for pd3v4 if you use medium settings, textures at 2048, AAx4 and AFx16, 1080p @ 60Hz.

I believe that if you use these features it is not necessary to update, now if you want very high settings or 2K, 4K, 144Hz ......:

There is a tool to calculate the bottleneck between cpu and gpu: https://pc-builds.com/calculator/

Here are some results, try it yourself, according to this your gpu top of the range for you would be the gtx2060 6gb (NOT SUPER)

i7-6700k (+ 15% oc) + GTX1060 6GB: https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i7-6700K/GeForce_GTX_1060/0Fn0Venq/16/

Would you recommend the GTX 2070 8gb?
