I have an GTX 1050ti (4gb), but i want to upgrade it and but i only have a budget of 200€, which is the best cpu for best performance that i could buy with that budget? And with 300€ budget? Remember that i already have an 1050ti and i dont want anything with similar specs to my current gpu or below, is that why i say upgrade.

What motherboard and CPU do you already have? Pretty much all quad core CPU's from the last 10 years will be able to keep up with no problem.

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Linux - Fedora

There is no valuable upgrade for you within your budget, considering you need a new motherboard, RAM, GPU and CPU before you see any substantial gains.

 

Your first purchase should be a higher performing GPU, such as a GTX 1660 Ti. The Xeon E3 1220 should be able to see some gains with it, so you can do the platform upgrade a bit later.

 

Decide the CPU/platform once you have the funds available, as the market is quickly shifting to the newer DDR5 platforms within the next year.

i want to know what makes a gpu better than other, the vram?, the mhz, the cores ??

All have an effect on graphics performance. Generally though, all graphics cards with the same GPU will perform within a few % of each other.

 

You also need a powerful enough CPU to feed a GPU at X performance. That's why you can't just throw in a 3090 and get the same as anyone else.

 

The practical upper limit for quad core Sandy Bridge at 1080p is roughly 1060 6GB level performance.
