[SOLVED] Gtx 1650 GDDR5 + i3 10100f = good?

[I do not know 1 2 3]

It's a GeForce® GTX 1650 PALIT StormX, with i3 10100f and 16gb of ram (2x8).

It's the only model I could find, don't judge. I'll be mainly using it for gaming and basic computer tasks.

And I wanna ask another question, will I be able to open stuff in the background (discord, browser with videos open maybe) while I'm gaming? And don't you dare say it depends (lol)

There's no answer other than rgd provided.

"Good" is a vague, subjective thing. It's a decent budget CPU and an entry-level gaming GPU. The PC will perform at a level consistent with those facts.

So yes, "it depends."

You had your answer, it's one you said you didn't want and at this stage, it is a correct answer. It depends, on things you neglected to tell us in your original post.

Screen resolution?
What exactly are these 'basic tasks'?
What kind of settings you wish to use, low, medium, high, ultra?
Which games?
What is your expectation of 'good'?

And probably one or two more.

It depends, on your answers to the above.

 

[I do not know 1 2 3]

1) Oh sorry, my screen resolution is 1650x1050 (Old monitor I have, gonna upgrade it in a while to a 1080p monitor prob, so I want you to answer as if my res is 1080p)

2) Basic tasks = Social media surfing, video streaming at 1080p res, and I can't think of another thing I do ;-;

3) I'll prob be fine with medium, I've seen benchmarks of the 1650 though and I see a lot of not so demanding games running amazing at high and above. Even though I like the game to look pretty, I won't be too sad to lower it to medium.

4) I don't have any specific games in mind... But if you mean if it's gonna be "AAA title" then I'm gonna say maybe and probably and a good 80% chance I'm gonna play not so demanding games a lot. "It depends."

5) My expectation of good is 40+, maybe 35+ fps at all times, that is in gaming ofc.

Please tell me what else I missed, and forgive me, when I ask a question I don't look at it from all sides first before I ask it.
Thanks!

I think the 10100f and 1650 would be good for that. Make sure you have 2x8gb of ram. Bumping up to the 10400f would be better for the long run if you have discord and spotify open while gaming.

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick

 

[I do not know 1 2 3]

But would it really be that bad to have discord and spotify on while gaming on a 10100f? The processor is not spectacular and I get that, but what kind of problems would I face if I stayed with the 10100f (for now)

It would depend on the game but if you think 40fps is fine with some stuttering it would work. I would suggest opera gx NOT CHROME, it sucks your resources

It'll be fine for all of that.

I use a 7600k in my old computer and got Discord ad YouTube on while gaming quite regularly. It's fine, no issues. Not playing any AAA games on that one - it's just a weekend machine at my parents house for when I visit and doesn't need to play anything worse than FFXIV in 1080p - but it's a 4c/4t CPU, so probably similar to yours. It's completely fine.

 

[logainofhades]

What is your system budget? Location?

I understand, thank you for confirming
But just one question!
What do you mean by: "for when I visit and doesn't need to play anything worse than FFXIV in 1080p "
Do you mean like you don't want to play any game worse than FFXIV? Is that a joke I don't get... bruh I'm dumb. lol.

 

[I do not know 1 2 3]

What is your system budget? Location?

Maximum budget I can afford to spend is somewhere around 640$ (that's about 12000 of my currency)
Location = Egypt. (and no I don't live in a desert)

 

[logainofhades]

Yea that budget really doesn't give you any wiggle room, on part selection. Normally I do not recommend going with old gen hardware, but budget is king.

Also if you have any other advice for me, please do advice!

Nah, FFXIV is just, like, literally my favorite game xD
Pretty much sank years of my life into it at this point.

I mean in terms of requirements and system stress. It's basically the main requirement for secondary and mobile systems that I set, lol. Must play FFXIV in 1080p at max, or close to max, settings. Can go without everything else when away from home for a time, though any of my systems can obviously do more than the base minimum and my main system at home beats the ever-living daylights out of the others. That I use for everything else.

Since I've been limited to this thread, I'm gonna be using it for a while. Onto the question!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I realized I'm fine and happy with a 50-60 frames experience, prefer higher 50s though. And I'm not sure about this one since I don't play a lot of games currently, but I think medium to high settings are gonna do me good I think (high is not maximum in this case) So please recommend one of the following graphics cards for me, same build, but thinking of changing the graphics card to something better and the cpu to 10400f.

Gtx 750 2100EGP (114.13USD)

Rx 560 2800EGP (152.18USD)

960 3200EGP (173.92USD)

1050 3800EGP (206.53USD)

1060 3gb 3900EGP (211.96USD)

1650 4gb 5000EGP (271.75USD)

1060 6gb 5900EGP (320.66USD)

1660 ti 8500EGP (461.97USD)

Rtx 3050 8500EGP (461.97USD)

3060 10500EGP (570.67USD)

Thank you.

What do you mean by good here? If you just want 30-50 fps at 1080p without sacrificing much of the resolution or quality, it's okay enough. Some eSports like Valorant can push further at above 100 fps

If you want 60 fps in all games you play and at some of the higher eye candy settings, I'd really suggest something along the lines of an RX 6600XT or a 3060.

Putting my experience here, i have a GTX 1650 mobile (in a laptop) and i have to overclock to keep it at 30-35 fps at medium in elden ring (especially when I'm in the open world, otherwise you can get a steady 45-50), watch dogs 2 was at medium 55-60 fps and i overclocked to reach 60 fps at AC Odyssey high preset (but setting AA to medium). AC Valhalla ran at a good 60 fps in medium (a bit of tearing though).

So if you're fine with all this, why not? Better just save some money and get a better GPU when the necessity arises

Thank you.

As for this list (not sure why it doesn't appear in a quote) i personally don't feel any reason to go for a 1660Ti if a 3050 is at the exact same price, you can fiddle with raytracing a bit (not saying it's for every game, but maybe minecraft?)

Also the 3060 is well, not for the i3, to say the least, if you can get an i5 then that's a different story, but if you're going with an i3 10th gen, the RTX 3050 should be your best bet.


Ofc you can wait for responses from other (and more experienced) users too and take the collective response, but these are my two cents.

 

[Flayed]

How much is a RX 6600 (non XT)? That would be good for 1080p gaming
