will it bottleneck?

[kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

will Intel Pentium Processor G3240 bottleneck MSI GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB Aero ITX OC?

[Luke D]

yes, replace with a second hand i5 4460

[ShadySocks]

Depends what you are doing...

... gaming. cpu tasks in games will put this at load pretty much 100% of the time. Most games require 4 threads to run well

[Bananasplit_00]

probably yes, a bit. not so much that i would care about swapping out the parts though. look into getting a CPU upgrade to something like the I5 4460 though

[kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

Ye was thinking of upgrading my CPU, but was just wondering if it would like bottleneck the shit out of it

 yea, Ill probably do that, was just wondering if it would be like really bad? 

[Luke D]

if you care about 30fps in games like gta or civ

It would depend on the game you are playing. In most modern titles it would be pretty pretty bad however in some it wouldn't be. I was in the same boat, I had a core 2 duo paired with a 750 ti. In league of legends and other easy to run titles they ran absolutely fine. Even for honor and witcher 3 ran pretty good. However other modern cpu intensive titles where near unplayable. Do note though that your pentium is still a good 40% faster than my old core 2 duo so your experience should still be better than mine. I recommend getting the 1050 ti and then when you have the money get the i5.

i agree despite the better options on the market like a 270x which would mean affording the i5

GTAV is single core sensitive than multi-core sensitive. Even an Core i3-4130 can get 60 FPS.

 

Also who cares if you're getting 30 FPS in Civ? I really need that sub 10ms frame time to react to all that act-- oh wait. The only thing a faster CPU will get you in Civ is shorter CPU turns.

I got 750 right now(not ti) so thats why im upgrading, and i expected that i have to upgrade my cpu too. And i most likely will end up doing that. But it will still be a lot better right? with msi geforce gtx 1050ti 4gb aero itx oc and the G3240 instead of 750? or i guess thats obvious

im a noob at this OK, ples

A 750 to a 1050 ti should be a pretty massive upgrade. The performance difference you will see depends again on what games you will play. If you are playing at 1080p though I would say the upgrade would be worth it for sure.

The short answer is yes....

 

the long answer is you shouldn't concern yourself with it. There is nothing wrong with occasional bottlenecking. Every computer in the world suffers from some kind of bottleneck (even if you have the strongest CPU paired with the two strongest GPU's in SLI, you still have a bottleneck somewhere). with that in mind, a pentium and 1050 ti are a fine pairing and you shouldn't freak out about a bottleneck.

 

Now, if you want to upgrade your CPU simply because you want the upgrade, there is definitely room for you to benefit from it (going to a socket 1150 (used) i5/i7 for cheap, or Ryzen 3/5 system would probably be good for you), but don't be so paranoid about the concept of a "bottleneck" and feel bullied into spending money you may not need to.

 

What games are you looking to play and what are the desired resolution and settings you wish to play them at?

calm down ms, i understand GTA is a single core intensive game however it is optimal on 4 threaded CPUs due to the game being open world. Civ was purely an example that works well with more cores. but some games struggle with fewer threads hence the reason higher core CPU's have been coming out for the consumer after so long

It is more optimized towards single threads however the difference in stability and frame rates going from a dual core to a quad core in that game is massive.

Im playing all kinds of games tbh some games i can play on pretty high settings, but then u got games like for example Ark survival evolved(getting around 35-45 fps on all low settings) and the witcher 3(havent tried it yet so idk)

Not really sure what exact settings i want to play them at, just higher then low.

Right now i got a 750, not ti or anything just 750. I just hope it will be a big difference(it probaly will idk) 

just want to know if it will be no difference because of my cpu or actually be a lot better

and ye as said ill probably upgrade my cpu too,

 

well u know a lot more then me about this stuff so yea

Okay, well a 1050ti is a pretty big step up from a 750. If you were also looking to upgrade off the Pentium, getting your hands on a used i5/i7 (make sure its socket 1150 so your motherboard can use it) should be quite doable and affordable, but I wouldn't really recommend buying a new platform based on what I believe your current budget is (if you have the money, you COULD go Ryzen 5, or even Ryzen 3 when it launches sometime in the near future) as those should be decent improvements for a relatively minor amount of money.

 

Do you have a specific budget in mind for this upgrade? it would be much easier to make recommendations on hardware if i knew more about what kind of funds you had to spend. I mean you should be able to find a good i5 for your platform for $100-150 on EBAY if you wanted, and it would be a pretty good upgrade over your Pentium for not a lot of money. here are pricings on the i5 4690 (the best, locked, i5 available to your platform) https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR6.TRC2.A0.H0.Xi5+4590.TRS0&_nkw=i5+4590&_sacat=0

 

You could then spend the rest of your funds on a new 1050ti, RX 470/570, or maybe something a bit better if you have the extra cash laying around and end up with an amazing gaming computer (compared to your current one) for a relatively small investment.

Ye was thinking of maybe a budget around the price of the stuff you are talking about, i could maybe go a little bit higher, but this would do fine tbh, and ye not a spesific budget.

 

But you think I will see a big difference with the 1050ti even with the CPU i got now, and it wont like bottleneck the shit out of it?(think i will upgrade, just wanna know lol)

There will be bottlenecking in some games, but honestly it depends how high you put your graphical settings. for example you said earlier:

in this situation, having a stronger CPU would benefit your framerates more than a your GPU, and a 1050ti will be bottlenecked quite hard in this game... and then in other games its the opposite, you could set graphics to high/ultra with a 1050ti and your Pentium may not break a sweat.
