What's your current setup. What's your budget?

A 480 is decent. It's about the same as a 970. Little bit better.

I would wait for the 1060 (supposed to be MSRP @ $250, probably closer to $300) or just get a used 980 Ti for ~$350.

So you're going for the best $ per frame without necessarily having a budget?

a 4gb 480 is easily the best frames per dollar spent right now.

1060 will be really close ( in terms of frames per $1 spent) and have more over all fps, I personally would pick the 1060 for 1440p gaming.

I actually agree. Gtx 1070 as a minimum.

Duh, caption obvious.

Guy didn't list a budget and started at a $200 card looking for the best "value"

a 1060 would be playable at 1440P 60hz
