How well will this graphic card perform with the game?

Probably about the same or a little less than my card will. Except mine has 8GB of VRAM. The 560 might perform significantly worse considering it has half the VRAM. Playing the game on maximum settings with my 390 it uses a little over 4GB of VRAM. But again I have 8 so that's fine.

Whatever you do go and get yourself MSI after burner if you want to mess around with AMD cards cause they have a tendency to run hot and loud, especially this game. I cap the frame rate at 30 FPS (I know that's console peasant tier) it keeps the card from running so loud and hot.

I think this game is either poorly optimized or it's just a resource hog. Like I said in a previous post I had the same issues with Planet Coaster. On max settings I can't get a steady 60 fps. It causes my GPU to get a little a loud and hot. This game is no different. It uses the Kobra engine so I am not surprised. Planet Coaster is pretty CPU heavy and this game seems to be GPU hungry.

The price of the 1070 Ti I want are falling so hopefully I can pick one up soon.

What is the model of your card? I might think about getting it.

He's running an r9 390, if you can get a good second hand deal on it by all means go for it, but I wouldn't buy it new, it's pretty old now.

It's old but it pretty much plays every single game I throw at it. I might not get a steady 60 all the time with all the games I play. But it's a good card. I wonder if it can handle Doom Eternal? I will probably be upgraded to a 1070 by then.

But I wouldn't buy this card new. Maybe used if it wasn't too much. But I would be careful with buying it used cause like I said this thing runs hot. It's also known for being over clocked by people. So a used one will be pretty abused.

AMD cards were really hit hard with the mining craze weren't they.

What graphics card would you recommend for each setting? (lowest- ultra)? and does my processor affect the quality too? (sorry that I'm replying to each post with this question. I just want to get all the pro's opinions. :) )
Thank you.

Kinda need to know what kind of system you are running at the moment...

What we need to know is...

What kind of operating system you have. What kind of CPU you have. What kind of graphics. also how much RAM. If you tell us we can probably help you.

I'm going to assume you mean 16gb DDR3...

That CPU is getting rather long in the tooth (it was introduced 6 years ago) and is only around 12% faster than a modern pentium. Unless you are planning to build a complete new system I probably wouldn't pair it with anything more than a GTX 1060 (or AMD equivalent) . After that you'll start seeing less and less gain in performance for the cost due to your CPU bottlenecking the GPU.

On a side note Nvidia are releasing some new cards soon, this may have quite a dramatic effect on the cost of older generation cards (both new and used) as folk decide to change up to the new ones.

I would get the 1060. One with the 6GB of VRAM.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007709 601205646 8000

There some cheap compact 1060's on there for under $300. But they will be more suitable for a prebuilt PC running on a 300 watt power supply. I would go for one of the full sized models with 6GB of VRAM that will require a 500 watt PSU or greater. If you built your computer yourself I am sure you used a decent PSU. I would go for one of the dual fan large 1060's models.
