Gtx 1050 ti - i5 2400 vs i7 2600 noticable difference?

Go to solution Solved by NunoBrandao,

This is easy to figure out.

 

Install MSI AfterBurner, Setup the HUD with stats of CPU load and GPU load.

Which one is at 100%? GPU, CPU, Both?

 

If GPU is at 100% "upgading"  the CPU will give you a bit of improvement but not much.

 

Is CPU at 100% and GPU not? GPU is waiting for CPU so CPU "upgrade" will help.

 

Etc

I think you see the point.

 

 

Gtx 1050 ti - i5 2400 vs i7 2600 noticable difference?
 

worth upgrading from i5 2400 to i7 2600 for 50€ ? I am playing at 1080p..

Basically every game you listed will like the 2600 and you'll most likely get a bit of a boost in quite a few games but it's still just a 1050ti.

I wouldn't bother and get an SSD instead, if you don't have that.

So what did you end up doing with gtx 1060?

Ssd would give me faster loading screen right ? And faster internet browsing, what about performance?

SSD won't affect gaming performance, just faster loading and overall better/snappier experience using your pc. SSD these days is a must, even smaller capacity.

That's a bit of a dick move... You should have tested it in on some friends pc before selling.

If you can save some money and buy a pc after a year then definitely don't waste your money and save up.

In your case I would try finding a seller near you that is willing to let you verify the gpu works correctly in their system, because you just might have stumbled on unreliable sellers that sell dead(ish) parts.

You won't, if your pc killed gpu's your 1050 would be dead also.

Thats true and i can confirm that the 1050ti works perfectly... still dont know what was the cause for the rx 570 dual fan to not even boot my pc.. had a black screen and in the lower right corner there was number 0.... and the 1060 booted my pc normally and when i started to play games the monitor tuned of and the fans went to 100% thats so wierd... idk if its my mobo or psu... or even the psu power cable ..:/

I would just try that mini rx 570, you could confirm if those cards where faulty.

Is the seller willing to take it back if it doesn't work?

Don't buy it x2. It means your pc is the cause of all the issues. Just try your girlfriends gpu.
