Need help with GPU upgrade

[vrajesh4u]

Hi,

 

I currently own a i5 3570 paired with DH77EB board . I am looking to upgrade my GPU to GTX 1660 Ti.. 

 

My question is will there be any Bottleneck with my current set up  ? Will my Upgrade be a total disaster?

 

Appreciate your help

 

Games i want to Play in Ultra settings --> Apex legends, Pubg PC , any new BR game

it will probably bottleneck

 

it mainly depends on resolution here, tho it should still be a nice increase in performance and if it's fine for you, why worry?

where did you get this concept!? totally wrong!

you are not using any ancient tech.your i5 can pair with rtx2080ti with great experience.just that it depends on cpu load more.

You can expect some bottlenecking in Battlefield V Firestorm, even in PUBG. The CPU you have lacks threads when paired with a modern mid-range GPU in modern games.

I am looking 1080 P Gaming with 60 FPS with zero Lags/stutters

When bottle necking , i should be expecting reduced FPS than its potential or expect frequent stutters while gaming ?

oh then

 

yeah, then this should work just fine for that

Reduced fps compared to the same card paired with a CPU that doesn't bottleneck it but also some framedrops/stutters in CPU-heavy situations.

 

I had an FX 8300 at 4.4 GHz with my R9 380X and upgraded my system because of the hard time playing Battlefield V due to the huge CPU bottleneck.

With Ryzen I did not get a huge overall performance boost, but the game stopped stuttering when someone shoots at me - now I can react, previously it was a pita.

It's just smooth.

 

In short, bottlenecking results in lower performance and might cause you problems related to stuttering (frame drops) in CPU intensive situations.
