Hello All,

 

Current setup

MB: GB H110M-S2PT

CPU: i3-6100

GPU: GTX1050 2GB

 

I play 1080p not very demanding titles, the 1050 was fine till I began playing ARK survival evolved and I need to dec res to 768 and even then have lag and freezes.

 

I found a used 1070 Ti for around 550$ USD, this is quite high IMO, but with regard to current market state and that the shortage is not expected to be resolved till 22-23, I think I would prefer to buy this now and eat the extra cost then to wait 1-1.5 year as I could need to upgrade by then again anyhow.

 

I am looking to upgrade my cpu to avoid bottlenecks but will also be a 6-7th generation like 6600 or 7600 depending on what is available and the price as well

 

So Any tips pr advice? I am in egypt as well so shipping from abroad is not very easy and I prefer to deal in the local market.

 

Thank you all

That honestly sounds a lot more like CPU bottleneck. If lowering video quality doesnt help, it's not the GPU.

I highly doubt the GPU shortage is going to last that long (However there's no real way to tell). Already the situation is starting to improve (slightly), it's possible that we could have it be mostly resolved by q4 2021 or q1 2022. I'd highly recommend just waiting and seeing what happens.

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

It's only two cores, and most (modern) games assume your system has 4 or more cores.

So what I get is I should try to update the Cpu first and see how it goes, Ok seems feasible and I can try to go this route, I will check for 6 or 7th gen cpu or maybe even buy a new MB with a new processor in case there is no 6-7th gen available.

 

Thank you for feedback and support 🙂

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 :)

I'd like to add you shouldn't spend more than $150 for a 6700 or 7700. If none are available at that price, definitely go 10th/11th gen.

PC Specs - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - MSI B550M Mortar - 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3600 @ CL16 - ASRock RX7800XT - 660p 1TBGB & Crucial P5 1TB - Fractal Define Mini C - CM V750v2 - Windows 11 Pro
