Bottlenecking

[Anderwear]

I heard a gtx 1050 bottlenecks a i3-8100. What are the viable options to downgrade my cpu? I3-8100 is very good for its price, but if i don’t want that much performance, what are the cpus that will go well with gtx 1050 as well as save some money? (Intel preferred, not must)

that's totally not true. it really depends on the game, the settings and resolution. why not get a good cpu if you have the money for it?

What?! 1050 Bottlenecks i3-8100?! My 1050 doesn't bottleneck my i5-8400 on any of my games. Don't downgrade the cpu.

Why would you want to downgrade your CPU? Having both the CPU and GPU at 100% is not actually beneficial in any way shape or form.

I just posted earlier today about bottlenecking. I have an i5-3570k and an rx 580 8gb and I have no bottlenecking what so ever, so I don't think an 8th gen i3 would do that?

so what you're saying is your 1050 is not at 100% but your i5 is? or that they're both at 100%?

 

but yeah, don't downgrade CPU.

there's always a bottleneck

Yes, they are.

You are right. But sometimes it can be small.

That's actually quite nice. I build a system with an i7 4790s and a 1070, and in overwatch they were both at 85% usage, very satisfying.

Any Celeron will be perfect....
