Will a FX8350 (overclocked to 4.2Ghz) bottleneck 1050 ti?

Dual-GPU is quite pointless in 2020 for ordinary people for many reasons. Get a single, faster card - it will serve you better. My point was that (at least when they were still in production), the 1050Ti costed about the same as an RX 570 while it's like 25-30% slower so it wasn't a particularly recommended card. If that's the case in your market, I'd recommend the RX 570 ;)

So i got a system that's got everything to upgrade to a 1080 but im worried about the processor bottle necking the GPU

I've seen someone play older games with this CPU overclocked and a 1060 6gb, but any modern game that demands some CPU power will quickly fall over.

 

Whether this GPU is suitable depends on the entire system and pricing, 1050ti for example are usually overpriced for what it can do.

FX-8350 once OC'd can handle something like a GTX 970 in triple-A games (which is around 3GB 1060 in terms of performance), so with a 1050Ti there should be pretty much no problem in any scenario.

Yeah but I'm worried about the thermals too because i got only 140mm intake and even with full speed on gt 640 its getting somewhat around 75 - 80 C° on the card

Remember to quote people when you're responding so they get a notification.

Can you elaborate on the thermals issue? GT640 may have a crappy cooler on it, a 1050Ti isn't particularly power-hungry so it should be fine. Just pick one with a decent cooler so even in poor thermal conditions it can handle decent temperatures.

Keep in mind that an RX 570 should cost the same as the 1050Ti and it performs a lot better.

Actually my mobo can handle only cross fire. Do you think it's a good idea to go Radeon?

cross fire is Radeon.

I live in misery USA. my timezone is central daylight time which is either UTC -5 or -4 because the government hates everyone.

into trains? here's the model railroad thread!

That processor will bottleneck any GPU.
