gtx1060 GTX 1060 3GB | i3 4150

[sharooney7]

I've an i3 4150 in my current pc with no gpu (been on intel hd 4400 for 3 years now ) and i was hopping to upgrade to either a gtx 1060 or 1050ti but after watching the performance of gtx 1060(even the 3GB) i'm kinda inclined towards the 1060 but i guess it wouldn't make a great pair with the i3. I really can either upgrade to an i5 or buy a gpu. Will The Bottleneck from the CPU side a big bump in performance?Please recommend.And yes i might game at 900p or 1080p

No it will not bottleneck unless the game you play is heavily cpu bound

Welcome to the forums.

Any of those 3 cards would be good with your system. As far as performance, that largely depends on what specific games you are playing and the resolution/refresh rate of your monitor.

Your i3 won't really hit a bottleneck until you get a 1070 or better. Game on.

look for FPS benchmarks on a game you want to play and match the requirements

Mostly FIFA, RUST, and Offline Campaign ( FPS games)

pretty sure nothing makes rust play well

So the gtx 1060 3gb would be preferable over the the gtx 1050ti. In my country the gtx 1060 costs around 260$ and the gtx 1050ti 200$ or above
