Is this good for a I7 7700 @ 3.6 Ghz

[NoRyc]

I currently have a I7 7700 @ 3.6ghz , a really good processor but i have a GTX 1050 Ti which is being bottlenecked over 66% (from the calculations at https://pc-builds.com/calculator/ ) It seems that this Graphics card is waaay to slow for my processor.So i was wondering is a PCI-E POWERCOLOR Radeon RX 580 Red Dragon, 8GB GDDR5 good GPU for my processor.The GPU costs a few more dollars than my graphics cards price (in my country) and it seems like a good deal.

 

Is this card worth buying,im not looking for Gaming on Ultra graphics ,but to enjoy playing video games at any Settings.

Games like : Squad,GTA V,Apex Legends,Arma 3(not expecting this one) and so on.

Bottlenecking calculators suck ass and 4 core cpu's these days isn't great or even good.

Spend a bit more for a 5600 XT or 5700/2060 Super. The price is worth the large performance jump

You can pretty much buy as much graphics card afford with that processor except for like.. the 2080 super and up. Generally speaking, you could get a lot better graphics card than an RX 580 and not have a bottleneck for most games.

What really matters is whether or not you are getting the performance you want out of your system. No need to ditch the 1050 ti if you are happy with your frametime performance.

How much for the RX 580?

Really? To pair with 4 core cpu?

[Husky]

Your GPU should always technically "bottleneck" your CPU. If you are happy with your current performance then you have nothing to worry about. If you want a faster GPU then take a look at the RX 5600 XT. Otherwise that RX 580 that you have there is not too bad, especially if you can get it for a good price.

It might be a 4-core CPU but those are relatively strong cores. It is getting a bit old by today's standards but an i7 7700 will still do just fine in most games.

239 USD. The GTX 1050 Ti has been used for over a year now and its a good card no doubt but i there are a lot of games that i want to run better but i cant.

I thought of that aswell.

[Mister Woof]

As stated above, get something better. The RX 580 is okay, but it's already on the way out in terms of 1080p.

 

A reasonable solution is a 5600xt or a 2060.

 

A 1650 super might be better if you are looking lower end PSU requirements

If we were talking a 4/4 chip, the discussion would he a bit different. 

 

A 7700 non k is still relevant and a 5600xt I more than a reasonable match.

Ill keep that in mind,thank you.

Back when the 7700k + 1080 ti was king, just a few years ago. Nobody would have ever said this was a bottleneck and 1080 ti is nearly on par with RTX 2080, so yeah.

7700 easily outperforms the likes of first gen ryzen 5 1600 (6 cores) for example in basically any game. (assuming the PC is gaming focused)

New games totally take advantage of hypertheading as well.

It's a 4c/8t CPU that performs slightly worse than a 6c 8600k/9600k which is perfectly fine with those cards.

Would the PCI-E GAINWARD GeForce RTX 2060 Ghost, 6GB GDDR6 work well with my i7 7700 and 16gb ram? (it costs 450 USD in my country.)

I would say a 2060 would pair well but idk how much market value I in your country to say if it's worth it, or if that particular AIB is any good (we don't have gainward here anymore)

 

In USA, I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a 2060 since the 5600xt can match it for less and the 5700 beats it for only slightly more.

 

But you also get RTX and NVENC so if you like those, it's worth it over the AMD offering.

I live in Croatia and components here are quite expencive and i have never ordered something of that price online couse i really dont thrust any site whatsoever since i never ordered something from lets say amazon ,ebay and such.

One last question is this an OEM system and what is your power supply?

 

You might have to consider those variables in terms of choosing upgrade

I have a Windows(R),Core Edition,Windows(R) Operating System,VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel , and i currently dont remember which power supply i have i will try and take a look.(I didnt buy my windows , it costs over 150 USD in my country for a windows.)

Did you buy the computer pre-built (like is it an HP or Dell or something) or did you assemble it yourself

This price sounds steep to me, but i dont know what the market is like in your country.

Are there any of the following avaliable for the same amount of money? GTX 1660, GTX 1660 ti, GTX 1660 SUPER, RX5500XT, RX5600XT

Any of those would be a better buy.

I bought the computer fully built for around 450USD but it had a GT 450 and a Intel Pentium G480 with 4gb of ram and a motherboard that i forgot the name of,i upgraded my pc in a spand of 3 years buying a i3 7100 but staying with the GT 450 and 4gb ram(with a new motherboard) and then we jumped to an i7 7700 and a GTX 1050 Ti and i spend a total of 1.450USD in 3 years total.

that is INSANE how expensive all of that was.

No offense, I wouldn't pay $20 for a prebuilt with those parts where I live!

There is a GTX 1660 For 295USD,Ti for 384USD, 1660 SUPER is pretty much the same price as the 1660,RX5500XT for 297USD,RX5600XT for 429USD. The prices are really high couse the newer components cost more in my country
