Hello, im about to buy a low budget gpu To fit with my pc. Now im having GT 730 2GB and im playing cs go on low settings wiTh 70-80 fps. Which card is better for my situation (i3 4130)? GTX 750ti or GTX 1050? They ll fit on pci 2.0 express so they ll have 5% worse performance. Also i got 2x4gb Ram 1600 mhz 9 cas ddr3. Dont tell me to buy new cpu just stick to my question. I wanna play with 150-200 fps . Thank you

This is incorrect, his board is PCIe 2.0

Anyway nith95 I have merged your questions here. the GTX 1050 is by far your best bet. Your i3 can easily keep up with it, the GTX 750ti is not worth it anymore, the price hasn't droped and the 1050 at the same price (or even more) is a good bit faster.
Get the GTX 1050 unless you can get a good deal on the 750 ti used. Also, there's no haswell board that has PCIe 2.0 so I don't know what you're talking about and you wouldn't take a performance hit on either of these cards anyways.

For future reference, leave "Dont tell me to buy new cpu just stick to my question" out of it next time. You're not entitled to an answer or anything for that matter, people here are offering their time and advice to you for free and the least you can do is not patronize everyone reading your thread.
 
MERGED QUESTION
Question from nith95 : "H81M-D2V ( M-ATX ) question"

Hello, i have the current motherboard (H81M-D2V ,M-ATX) , and i wanna buy MSI GeForce GTX1050 2GB (GTX 1050 GAMING X 2G).

I just wanna know if this gpu will fit in my motherboard (size )
Also i wanna know if i would have any problem with pci express . Motherboard has pci 2.0 and this gpu has pci 3.0 . Do i have to worry about any performance loss?

What else do i have to worry about?
 
MERGED QUESTION
Question from nith95 : "i3-4130 will bottleneck ?"

Hello , i own the i3-4130 proccesor, and i wanna buy the MSI GeForce GTX1050 2GB (GTX 1050 GAMING X 2G) gpu .

a)Will that cause any bottleneck? I know that cpu-intensive games will have a slight problem but i wanna hear your opinion too.

Im gonna use it to play CS:GO most (cpu intensive game) , but i will use 4:3 aspect with medium too low graphics . b)Do i have to worry about it ? c) Can i use better resolution and graph settings?


For further information my specs are : H81M-D2V (motherboard) , 2x4 GB 1600 mhz 9 cas (RAM) , 450 W (PSU) , i3-4130 (cpu) , MSI GeForce GTX1050 2GB (GTX 1050 GAMING X 2G).

Let me know if my PC wont have any problem . Thanks :)

Yep i did quite a big research about the best gpu for my specs , and i came at the same opinion, just wanted to make sure . Thanks for merging im new in this forum .Thank you both for your time :)

 


Just one more vote for 1050 :)
 


Sry for re-posting here, i just have to inform you that with my current gpu and cpu ( gt 730 and i3 4130) im having 70 % average cpu usage in cs go . Should i worry about the gtx 1050 ?
Could i get more cpu usage than that with the gtx 1050?
