Best Graphics card for an AMD FX 8300

[luc016yt]

Hello guys!
So I have a amd FX 8300 with a gtx 1050TI.
If I want to upgrade my gpu what should I get so my cpu doesn't bottle neck my gpu?
Thanks a lot!

i would stick with what you have or get a 1060.

A GTX 1060 or an AMD RX 580 is about it. Even then you won't push those cards as fast as they can go.

Ok so it would be more worth it to upgrade cpu to like an i5?

It depends. What games do you play? Single player or online?

I play online games but I can play just fine with them with my rig but when the games will need higher performance I will need to upgrade!

If you're playing games just fine right now I would wait until they are not playing fine. Intel will be releasing new CPU's in the next few months and Nvidia just announced new video cards yesterday. The rest of the Nvidia lineup will be announced / released in the next few months also. Then you can see how much performance you'll be looking at.

I would def upgrade to an i5 or i7 if you can. I had the amd 8320fx and upgraded to and i5 and it was a huge difference. Especially if you upgrade to the new i5 8600 6 cores. What type of games do you play.

Yeah I would upgrade either to 8th gen i5 or Ryzen 5 2600. The 8320 isnt very good by todays standards.
