Wondering if a 1660 ti will work with my i7 3770.

On multi-core the Ryzen 5 2600 seems to be a bit faster. But yeah, the 3770 should work just fine with the 1660 Ti.

 

 

It will be it has more cores, but as for actual overall performance the gap is not huge.

 

 

[Tamesh16]

my 7700hq gets about the same score as a 3770 on cinebench and i have a 1070 and havent had any bottle necking, the gpu is about desktop clocked, but doesnt boost as much ,

if that helps in any way

So just upgrade to ddr3 ? How many mhz ddr3 can I have on my board ?

I would find the cheapest set of 2400mhz you can on Ebay, this can easily upgrade your minimum FPS to 10-15+ FPS sometimes less and sometimes even more.

 

What country are you in?

Sure how will you do that ?

I'm currently using i7-3770 and 980 TI performance is similar to 1660 Ti so i can test my games with stock settings vs slight oc?

Canada and I dont have 3770k I just have the regular 3770

This thing https://pc-builds.com/calculator/ is broken. Obviously built by someone who does not understand bottlenecking.

I pair an FX 8370 and a Radeon R9 380 and it shows the GPU is too weak for the CPU by some 20% but in fact, I had such a combo and the GPU was bottlenecked by 20-30% in some games.

I know that. The memory performance matters more with a stock CPU.

 

8GB 2400mhz.

16GB 2400mhz.

Unless your mobo somehow has has xmp profiles (which i dont think it does) dont get faster ram since the regular boards only support up to 1600.

Good point, OP should let us know what board it is.

ACER.... i would not buy anything new for that platform, it's already at it's dead end.

If you have the money.

And call it a day. If not then you can still pair it with the 1660Ti, but it will show bottlenecks in some games and less in others.

[xg32]

1660 will be fine with the 1660 ti, though value wise the 1660 or the 2060 are better deals.

Already bought the 1660ti just waiting for it to get in.

Also you will mostly be fine, most games you will get to enjoy stable 60 fps, the only real bottleneck issue comes with higher rates of fps, its worth the upgrade.

I have 144hz but right now im getting only 60fps with my 1050ti on apex at lowered settings

Nice upgrade. Hope you enjoy the card.

 

Wait... if this is an ACER PC what PSU is in it?

the guy from the store that i went to to get upgrades just put that mobo in this pc.

Just game for a few months on the i7 3770 and the 1660Ti and once Ryzen 3000 comes to stores (after a month or two on the market, don't go for it the first few weeks) you upgrade to that.
