Upgrading to 16xx series

[ZixteE]

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

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.
