Current Rig

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600

GPU: Palit 1050ti Dual OC

MOBO: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wifi

RAM: Hyper X fury 8gb ddr4 2400mhz

PSU: Seasonic 620w 80+ bronze

 

Im planning to upgrade my old GPU to MSI 1660 Ti Gaming X 6gb 

 

My main purpose of upgrade is for streaming 720p60fps or 1080p and recording 1080p and gaming also.

 

1.) Does the gpu and cpu will bottleneck?

2.) Does the gpu(msi lights) will sync to mobo(gigabyte lights)?

3.) Lastly pros and cons of this upgrade 1660 gpu and r5 2600

 

EDIT: I'm upgrading my RAM also to g.skill trident rgb 2x8 32000mhz

Will not bottleneck, people overrate bottlenecking. That gpu will go fine with your cpu. But you should get 1660 super, since its newer.

2) should work

3) you only have 8gb of ram, and it has very low freguenzy. I'd say that upgrade to 16gb 3000mhz 14cl kit of ram to that ryzen (since ryzen likes good ram). And then upgrade gpu, 1050ti is not the worst one, but its not good either

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

re: bottlenecking

the problem I think is people treat bottlenecking as a binary.  A yes/no thing.  It’s not.  Tiny amounts of bottlenecking is not at all the same as severe bottlenecking.


As to IS it bottlenecking? I dunno.  The 1050ti would be very close to bottlenecking.  It wouldn’t be severe even if it was though.  I agree that the small amount of memory is likely a bigger block on cpu performance than the GPU at this time.  The card sounds like it’s near max capacity though so it’s possible a ram improvement wouldn’t produce a game improvement.  Would be a good test for the issue though.  Improve the ram and test again.  If no improvement then change the card.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
