[SOLVED] Im looking to upgrade from a 1050ti but im not sure whats possible on my system

[scottmcfc17]

My system as it stands:
64 bit windows 10 home

Asus 1050ti 4gb

8gb of ram DDR4

Asus prime A320m-k motherboard

AMD ryzen 3 1300x quad core processor(3.5ghz)

Corsair cx450 bronze PSU

240gb SSD as boot drive

Seagate 1TB hardrive

Also powering a 70hz samsung monitor

So yeah thats the basics anyway, so im interested to know where i can stretch with a gpu upgrade. Thanks for any help in advance.

I would not look beyond a GTX 1060 for that configuration. Anything with more performance than that and you'll be looking at a significant CPU bottleneck.

Do you think i could stretch to the 6gb 1060?

Yes, but you're probably not going to see it's full potential with only 8GB of RAM and a 1300x. But I wouldn't go beyond that like I said unless you PLAN to upgrade the platform with a newer CPU that is more capable sometime soon.

thats the problem now with my pc, it has been a constant upgrade for the last 8 or 9 years and im getting to the point now where in looking for improved performance im going to require multiple upgrades. Maybe its time to look at a new system.

well the good thing is you are running a ryzen build so you could upgrade to any 2nd or 3rd gen ryzen CPU as long as you update your motherboards BIOS before doing so. with a system like that i would first be looking at upgrading the ram to at least 16GB

I wouldn't bother upgrading to ANY 2nd or 3rd Gen Ryzen CPU with four or more cores on an A320 chipset board. Too much potential for problems with the very limited power delivery and VRM configurations on those boards.
