Currently I have an ASUS GTX 1070 ti Turbo in my work machine, but I am pulling the card out for another machine that has a 4k monitor coming. My current work machine does not and will not (and cannot) have Steam installed. I only play Age of Empires Definitive Edition (AOE DE) Single Player (and some campaigns) on it when I have a break. Current CPU is an Intel i7 4930k. I have a 4k monitor, but because I have other monitors connected to my computer, when I play AOE DE the max resolution I can get is 2560x1600. This is fine as the monitor is large enough. When I play, CPU utilization is about 40%, and GPU utilization hovers between 40%-50%.
So my question is, for my replacement GPU, will a GTX 1060 6GB be enough? I figure a GTX 1060 is about 60% of a GTX 1070 ti/ 1080 so since my GPU utilization is 50% max, it should be enough? I will not play other games nor can I install them. Another question is , can I get away with a GTX 1060 3GB? Will I run out of VRAM? I tried to look for AOE DE benchmarks but there isn't much info on it.
If you play the game and have a similar GPU please share your experience. Thanks for any help.
No suggestion for AMD cards please. Loud, hot, and too many drivers issues.
