I have a gtx 1070 gaming Z which is a total overkill for just playing cs:go
Also cs:go is mostly cpu dependent, so im thinking of downgrading because I need cash for other things 😉
which gpu will be sufficient for not losing barely any frames? 1080p low settings

was thinking of the gtx 1050 ti, is that a good choise?
 
Solution
CS:GO is just a very weird case in general. Honestly can't tell what will happen with a lower end GPU since the performance doesn't seem consistent on each system.

apparantly I only get this low fps on this benchmark map, on dust 2 competitve against bots I needed 9 smokes at the same place to get to 100 fps, one smoke got me to like 300 ish from 350, im getting that 1050 ti I think, (ti since it has 4gb vram and I might try to play some other game like overwatch in the future)
 


Good decision
