Question 5800X3d paired with 1050Ti a good pairing

[Karadjgne]

3090 is a 4k card. Don't realistically need anything more than a 3060ti for 1080p. As long as the gpu can reproduce whatever graphics it has to, at refresh or above, anything higher is pointless. There's no difference between 61fps and 500fps graphically to a 60Hz monitor.

I know, but I'm aiming for 2/4K gaming on a 240hz screen, and it's on DCS so it'll be nice to have something for high end gaming.

I'll probaly get a 4090TI/3090TI based on the matching. I posted this discussion to see some nice answers / test the knowledge of some people I, for myself, am new to building and stuff but some answers in different threads are just to nice ^^

See...that's silly on the opposite end of the spectrum. Are you even considering costs? Not sure who's talking about a 1050Ti and a 4090Ti as casual substitutes. If you're in the market for a 3090/3090Ti/4090/4090Ti then why are you asking about a 1050Ti?

1050ti is a very very weak card. For 2k or 4k gaming don’t even consider the 1050ti. You want a balanced system. Not sure what budget you are looking at but you need to be looking probably at an i7 or ryzen 7 or higher and at least an rtx 3080 or better I think. But it comes down to what you can afford.
