Would this upgrade make a difference?

[AlexUP]

Hello, im planning on upgrading my PC, and have a little question. I currently have: I3 8350K, GTX 1050 TI. If i'd get GTX 1060 is it worth it and would it make a big difference?
Thanks!

[berberries]

Yes that will be a very big difference. very good upgrade.

[boggy77]

yes, there is a huge difference between them

It will make difference. Not huge, but big enough to make you happy. Try 1660 Super maybe.

Is my CPU enough for 1660 Super?

1060 3GB or 6GB? How much would it cost you?

 

Can't say if it's worth it until we know the actual value

Yes. Why not?

Because new processors are on the market, it doesn't mean that older ones slow down.

I think OP don't ask for price, but how much faster it will work.

price is pretty important though, I've seen quite a few overpriced 1060s. if you can get a 1660 super for $10 more, the 1060 should be avoided.

I'd aim for 6GB i guess, since 3GB can not be enough nowdays. 1060 6GB is around 270 Euros here in the main components store. Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming OC 6GB GDDR6 PCIE is around the same price.

the 1660 is a lot faster than the 1060 6GB, if it's the same price then go with that instead. if the 1660 super is a tiny bit more expensive, you should consider that too, because it's actually pretty close to the 1660 ti in performance.

 

also, think of the 1060 6GB like the "1060 ti", it has more cuda cores than the 3GB but you'd never guess by the name.

Thanks for the info. But what about 1060 6gb vs 1660? Are they almost the same?

I mistyped above. The 1660 is noticeably faster than the 1060 6GB. The 1650 super is approximately the same performance as the 1060 6GB.

Got it, thanks! One more thing, i also checked bottlenecker, and the results are 17% bottleneck with my current CPU and 1660. Saying that my CPU is too weak for that graphics card. Do i need to worry about that? I've heard that many people say that bottleneck checker is not accurate and should not listen what that website says. Website used > https://pc-builds.com/calculator/

ignore bottleneck calculators, they are rather unable to measure anything.

 

In most games you're fine, even though you only have a quad core, it's not a slow quad core. What's the overclock on that CPU?

I honestly don't know, I'd tell you if i knew. I'm running stock, no overclocking, i also don't plan overclocking as i don't know how to do it correctly.

Believe us - you will be fine and happy and your CPU will not bottleneck your GPU. It's not 2080Ti. 1660 super will be very good choice for next few years.

I do believe you, I was just wondering and wanted confirmation about bottleneck checker website as some say it's accurate and other say its not. Thanks aswell!

The overclock would be nice, if you needed more CPU power. Whatever motherboard you've got, there'll be loads of OC guides that would be super easy to follow. Something to keep in mind, just in case.

Alright, thanks for that. I have B360M BAZOOKA if that info is needed aswell.

oh that would prevent you from overclocking. Either way, your CPU should serve you well.

Also should i get 1660 Super with 2 fans or with 1 fan? Seems like its not a big difference, but i'm not sure so i ask right away. They are like 10 Eur difference.

more cooling means more performance, if it's only 10 euros for another fan then you should go for it. There aren't any good 1 fan coolers for the 1660 super on the market anyway.

Which company do you recommend? The cheapest 1660 with 2 fans here is Palit GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GamingPro OC 6G GDDR6 192bit DVI-D/HDMI/DP. Is it fine or should i stick with Gigabyte?

the palit card would be fine
