Bottlenecks?

[unknownrp]

Hi, I need help. I am looking to buy a new graphics card and I was wondering if the chosen card will work with my CPU. I dont know what to look for so can someone that knows that stuff reply. I have Intel i5-4590 (oc to 3.6GHz) and looking into buying a PCI-E GAINWARD GeForce GTX 1060 Phoenix GS, 6GB DDR5 card. This is my mother board  Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. H97-HD3

Any mainstream graphics card will work with any cpu I believe . The gpu you mentioned will work just fine.

thx for replying.. I was wondering if it will be a change from my current one (gtx 750Ti 2Gb) and will there be any big bottlenecks (if it will be at all) ?

Your being held back by your CPU man.  You should see ton more FPS but that CPU is a big bottleneck.  You won't get the full potential of the 1060 card.   For that CPU 3.6Ghz, is well,, a turtle ,, duh LOL

Yeah that'll be fine. No issues there.

Not really. The i5-4590 is still pretty good despite it being 4/5 generations old and will handle a 1060 no problem. Unless OP had an i3 chip with dual cores or something like that, the 1060 is on the line of being usable and being a bottleneck.

Here is the thing.  In CPU Queen test my 8 year old CPU is faster then the 8700k stock.  Also it kept up on other tests.  OCing has to be must because it gives soo much performance improvement.  My DAW went from 100 percent CPU usage @ 3.4 stock ,, then OCed that same project was 35 percent. 

 

So if you wanna get the most out of your hardware you must OC that CPU higher then what you have right now.  Or else yours and mine speed difference is not noticeable.
