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

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?

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.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

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.
