CPU to match with 1050 ti?
7 hours ago, Faremax said:Oh I know bottlenecking is inevitable, I just researched a bit and got results saying that the bottleneck would be too severe or something. I was just asking if it'd be balanced to match my 1050ti with a 10th gen cpu because the 1050ti is kinda lower end
That's a bunkum statement ( "too severe" ) from the results. If your GPU is the GPU you want, all the CPU power over and above it is spare for whatever CPU things you need it for.

IF you're trying to match the cheapest CPU to run a given GPU at 100% (no GPU bottleneck), then it becomes a thing, but excess CPU availability in itself is never 'severe', as long as the cost isn't extortionate. Who knows what resources any future background software will leech from your CPU and impact the GPU performance, if it's too close a match. I'd put more focus on extra cores and single core speed*, over bottleneck worries, as long as the CPU isn't holding back the system. You might want browsers, and music, and any number of things running with a game. More CPU is fine.聽

* See Userbenchmark for simple indicators of single core speeds and overall performance when comparing CPUs. Make a shortlist of half a dozen CPUs that you think are up to the job and see how they compare.
