Question CPU or graphics card first ?

[leash211]

I'm considering to upgrade my graphics card from 1050 ti to 1660 ti but my cpu is a Pentium g4560. I just want maybe max settings 1080p 60 fps avg in games until I can buy new motherboard and CPU... Or should I upgrade my cpu first ? I'm really confused cause people are saying bottlenecks is like bad I mean my monitor is 60 hz and on gamers Nexus g4560 bottleneck benchmark the bottleneck isn't that bad tbh. And by the looks of it if I upgrade graphics card first the performance/fps is better than upgrading to a better CPU.

I have 2 x 4 (8 gb) 2400 mhz ram btw.

I’d say cpu first. A 1050 can run any game at 60fps 1080p if you turn the settings down. There are many modern games a g4560 cannot achieve 60fps or anything close regardless of settings.

I'm sort of a graphics whore myself lol I play maxed to the max settings with 2x msaa in GTA 5 at 35 fps and Witcher 3 modded with hairworks enabled at 30 at 1080p with my current g4560 + 1050 ti setup.
Also on gamers Nexus g4560 benchmark they used a 1070 (basicly a 1660 ti with 2gb more vram) in GTA 5 and they achieved 90 fps at very high settings
I think. So....

Up to you but I’m not happy below 60fps. GTA5 is an older game now. Look at newer games BF1, BFV, Assassin Creed and that cpu will really struggle. Stronger quad cores struggle in these games.

Yeah I know, I'm going to upgrade the CPU soon after the graphics card obviously if I decided to buy 1660ti. Watched a g4560 + 1070 ac Creed origins maxed settings and it avg around 35 fps in the cities. Still tho pretty amazing what a Pentium can do. Still need more opinions about it
