144 hz possible?

[bigmouthbob1]

is the rx 580 8gb card possible of 144hz?

[Fasauceome]

Yes, don't expect max settings though

great! what would I need for max settings?

1070 ti or 1080 at least, but that also depends on the game.

thank you so much!

Depends on your CPU more for 144hz, the 580 can do it at medium settings without much issue in the average AAA game
 

Are you building a new PC or just upgrading?

so what CPU would i need

A fast one that favors single core speeds

Are you building a new PC? if so what budget/country?

Any modern CPU that's an intel i7 4000 series or better or a Ryzen 5 CPU will be fine for getting higher fps in games, like over 100fps on average

The frames depends on the GPU mostly. A great CPU will help and will be needed for high end GPU

 

No need to worry for a rx580 about your cpu if you have anything decent its fine.

no, not building a new pc (wish i could though) just got enough money to upgrade to a 144hz monitor and a graphics card

Then what CPU do you have?

GPUs can always scale themselves down to have higher fps, you could turn down the render scale or just run a game at 720p to greatly boost the fps. If however you only had an old i5 with low clock speeds it doesn't matter if you have a 1080ti, because the slow CPU will always top out at like 60fps.

i have a Pentium gold because i broke

Then you need to look at a benchmark with the games you want to play to see if you'll get 100fps or more

 

also what exact Pentium is it? If it's 2 cores/2 threads wouldn't bother

 

if it's 2 cores 4 threads you can use any i3 videos as well to gauge performance.

right now i can get 60 fps in most games

The G4560 should be pretty much the same thing if the clock speeds are the same, and the 1060 is the same as the RX 580

Shoulda gone Ryzen/AM4 my man, least then there's an upgrade path, that one is like Z270 maybe? so if you have a decent board the highest CPU you could get is an i7 7700 non K maybe, and that's probably overpriced and not worth it.

Wait for Ryzen 3000 to launch, it gets announced in janurary, $99 for a 6 core/12 thread MAYBE 5ghz potential chip is the RUMOR.

Or if your games run at over 100fps still just buy the 144hz display, like if it's CS:GO or something light.

that's my whole build. I've been having trouble finding places to sell my parts, so that's why I'm a little hesitant about changing my board. And about the amd, you're definitely right. I went with Intel because it was more well known and popular and a paid the price. I looked into it a few weeks after and i just kinda died a little inside.

What I'd probably suggest you do is save your cash for a Ryzen 3000 APU...whenever they come out

The R3 2200G right now is about as fast as An RX 550/GT 1030, dunno if that's faster than the GPU you already have.

Or if you had a decent income for things like PC parts just buy the 144hz display since their price isn't likely to change anytime soon, and Ryzen 3000 is likely months away.

Its definitely faster than the GPU i have. Mines like 9 years old I think

It's probably just fairly comparable maybe, the 5870 isn't as bad at 1080p as I thought it would be

it's like a hair slower than an R3 2200G with fast memory, and a bit slower than the RX 550, so not bad.
