i5 6400t and a 1060 6gb/1070 a good match?

[HaydenYT]

I have a i5 6400t @2.2ghz (because I don’t know how to enable turbo boost) goes up to 2.7ghz

the main question is, Will this gpu cause a bottleneck?

 

i have a 1x8gb ddr4 2133mhz ram

mwe 500w coolermaster psu

(released this year I think)

 

[Jurrunio]

for what games?

 

I wont risk a new graphics card with that PSU. I dont trust 3 year or less warranty stuff

[NelizMastr]

Yeah it'll bottleneck in CPU intensive games. My friend can't even play BF1 multiplayer that well on an i5-6600 at 1440p on a 1060 6GB (constantly 100% CPU, GPU at 70-80 ish).

Your CPU would be the bottleneck not the GPU

 

Turbo boost should be an automatic thing

 

Need a Ryzen 6 core in your life sometime soon.

What's the GPU already in the system?

I’m gonna playing at 1080p tho and a 6600 isn’t that much better because it’s only the clocks, plus I’m only gonna play csgo pubg and the isle

GT 1030

 

I’m gonna be playing Csgo at max and pubg high to ultra because I’m gonna be streaming off the gpu, and I’m gonna add 4gb more ram for a total of 8gb and I play the isle on max hopefully

 

I just want enough power to meet my needs

I'd survive a little while longer, Nvidia is likely to announce next gen GPUs on aug 20th

 

meaning more performance at the 1060 price point, or just cheaper 1060s

 

CPU is still mostly fine.

Isn't the goal usually to run CS:GO at the lowest for the highest fps?

Yea it is but some say your skins and the grass looks better once you crank the settings up

And that uses like 10% more gpu power

Turning up textures should be fine on the GT 1030 without issue, even that GPU should be doing over 100fps in CS:GO easily. Unless you have a DDR4 GT 1030.

thats at a different clock speed thats a 1.3ghz different so im sure the results are different than his pc

 

I stutter a lot I used to get like 150+ fps on low and like 100+ on max but my gpu wasn’t working properly, I added a 5% overclock, and I added 75mhz to the base clock and 150mhz to the memory clock

 

I tried doing a 250mhz oc on the base clock but my pc crashed

then it's a disaster. These days even 'not great' units hit 80+ Bronze.

You serious? You need to get high frequency (3000MHz) dual channel memory plus and a mid range graphics card (RX 580 / 1060 6gb) for ultra settings / 1050 for high settings to hit 60fps. PUBG is demanding.

using low frequency memory like that hits the performance by about 20%, regardless of CPU platform. So either he's not getting 60fps, or he lowered the settings without you knowing.

He gets like 45-50
