Would it bottleneck? (i-5 6500, and GTX 1050 ti)

Would a Core i-5 6500, and a GTX 1050 ti bottleneck badly

[LWM723]

Depends on your definition of "bottleneck"?

[LeggyBoi2]

would the performance be better with the graphics card or worse (8Gb of ram BTW)

Better or worse compared to...? Not having the GPU at all and using the onboard graphics? It would be better, obviously.

That's not really how bottlenecking works.

 

It's about whether your CPU would be able to let your GPU run at its full potential in your games or apps. Or vice versa.

 

Here's an example—Say you have your i5-6500 and bought an RTX 3080. Your new 3080 will most likely not be able to run at its full potential in virtually all games since the 6500 wouldn't be able to keep it fed with commands and data. Same concept applies if you have an i7-10700K with your 1050Ti, the GPU would be able to run at its full potential, but the 10700K would barely break a sweat. In either case, the bottlenecked part would be wasted.

 

There's more to bottlenecking than what I said above, but this explanation basically covers most scenarios most people will encounter when considering bottlenecks.

yeah, hopefully i can turn this school computer i got into a decent gaming PC, it can run some games decently, but it uses VGA, and on board graphics makes it slow

I mean i know that but, where i am its 10 PM and im already dying

[LeggyBoi2]

I could not explain with my TIred brain

[Alcarin]

Mmk.

 

Well in any case there's no bottlenecking to be concerned about with those parts. You can also buy a VGA to DVI adapter if you need it.

i mean the resolution is kinda low compared to what im used to

Well that's even better for your 1050Ti.
