GPU for A10-7850K

[Not so Lucky]

Hello Guys,

 

I currently own a system with below specs, after my old system died I initially planed to make the below system(2 years old now), use it temporarily then make a good system slowly, however due to unforeseen family medical emergency I had to drop the plan and with the current medical expenses and such, building a new system is not possible for another 1.5-2 years. Now the APU has reached its age and can barely even start modern games. So intend to add a GPU to the system, now need a bit suggestion/help to decide which GPU to with.

With the CPU bottleneck, I'm confused as to which GPU would be the best for the price, my options.

1. Zotac GTX 1060 3GB AMP (Approx 270 USD)

2. Zotac GTX 1050TI 4GB OC (Approx 194 USD)

Which GPU would you guys consider would be able give the most performance before getting bottlenecked by CPU.

 

CURRENT SYSTEM

Processor - AMD A10-7850K

Motherboard - GIGABYTE G1 Sniper A88X

RAM - GSkill RIPJAWS X (2x4GB @ 2133Mhz)

PSU - Seasonic S12II (520W)

SSD - Samsung 850EVO (250GB)

HDD - Western Digital Blue (1TB)

 

P.S. : Not considering 1060 6GB cause pretty much all games are going to hit CPU bottleneck before they hit VRM VRAM limit. And pretty much all AMD cards are overpriced here by approx 20 USD so they are out of question.

Edit - few extra info.

A used 970 or a 1050ti would do fine

VRM

One nitpick: VRM is voltage regulator module, you're referring to vram (I know it's so similar)

 

Anyway, I recommend the 1050 ti because with these old systems, a low power draw graphics card is ideal. Plus it just feels so right to me, an old four core with a PCIe only graphics card, no power cables and no hassle.

Thanks for pointing it out, I didn't even notice that brain fart.

So true, some people are just too ignorant.

 

As for the gc, I guess 1050TI it is then. Thanks for the reply's.
