Hello guys,
a G3258 OCed to 4GHz will bottleneck a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB?
PC Specs:
Gigabyte H81M-D2V
8GB Ram DDR3 1600MHz
Intel Pentium G3258 @ 4.00GHz
Samsung 850 EVO 120GB
I personally have this combo G3258 overclocked to 4.3 GHz with strix GTX1050Ti and i must say it is a BIG bottleneck. 1050Ti is somewhat good GPU to run most modern games on medium . But this dual cored CPU wont even let you to play some new games. I had problem with Far Cry 4 (you cant play it without 4 cores because it is blocked), The Witcher 3 (you will experience massive stutter because of CPU), GTA5 (you will experience lags when loading textures), ) Mafia 3 (with this cpu it is unfortunately unplayable). Hovewer, if you play games that are not cpu heavy...
in games that can utilize more than 2 cores/threads yes , it will bottleneck the card .
dual cores are really outdated for most modern games ,
you need at least dual core with hyperthreading , but even that is not ideal ...
Because you are looking to use a 1050ti and not a 1080 or anything like that, I say it's a good combo. The CPU is a bit weak, but not horrible. There will be issues with some games as mentioned above, but overall it will work fine.

Hovewer, if you play games that are not cpu heavy (CS) then its good cheap combo. BTW overclocking this CPU wont help ... i tried some extremes like 4.6 GHz and still you wont see any significant FPS boost, because there will always be fps drops to 10-15 when loading textures.
