bottle necking

[drake19899]

I have an intel core 2 quad q6600 and was wondering if any bottle necking would occur with a gtx 1050 if so what gpu should I use

It should be fine, if the Q6600 is overclocked. They used to handle a GTX 680 / 770 pretty well when OC'd. The 680 is around 13-31% faster than the 1050.

You'd need to have a pretty good chip and it really depends on the application. If you're going for a nice CSGO setup, you'd want an upgrade. It would be hard to get consistent fps above 100 on a Core 2 Quad. It's really going to hold you back in many titles. For overall bottlenecking and playing well optimised games like BF3, BF4 or Call of Duty it's not too bad.

The 1050 ti is the best graphics card possible for the q6600, after that there's no performance increase. I think you will experience some bottlenecking in certain games, but that's what you get for matching an ancient CPU with a current gen GPU.

Seems to run OK overclocked. You'd get a little lower with a 1050 rather than a 1050 Ti, but the graphics won't be the limiting factor anyway. 

[EDIT] So this is at 3GHz overclock, which is pretty achievable with these chips, but remember to get a nice cooler.

I second on throwing a GTX 1050 Ti at it

Any nice ones. The P35, P45, P43, Q35, X35, X48, X38 chipsets are fairly nice. I'd just lookup the board you can get for cheap and look at the features. Always look it up on the product page and look at reviews before you buy.
