New budget graphics card

[brett.denooijer]

Can someone please tell me what framrate I would get with my a10 7860k and my future purchase of the gtx 1050ti on medium mixed with high settings ? I have 8gb of ddr3 ram.

Pretty good choice, should get you 60+ FPS in many games with med setting

What game? Playing CSGO will be different from PUBG.

I would mostly play games like PUBG.

That YouTube link has the 7870k however I have the 7860k I know mine is slower but how much fps drop will it have?

 

[vapour]

7860k~7870k, may drop 1 at most...

Thankyou very much but I only have 1600mhz ddr3 ram, well it has to be ddr3 but will the speed effect it that much?

 

[vapour]

1600 is still plenty, no need to sweat

Thanks again lol. Do I need a decent motherboard to oc this cpu as the guy in the video didn't have an expensive one which is like mine but I don't know how to get onto the menu to oc the cpu. Because his was oc to 4.6ghz compared to the normal 3.7ghz. how much difference is that in fps ?

What is your CPU cooler and mb? PSU?

I'm sorry to go off the topic but I don't really want to overclock anymore but my psu might be the problem I only have a 350w psu

 

[vapour]

If you are happy with the performance, no need to overclock, but it does give you some decent boost

Ok but I have a 350 w psu. Will this be enough for my pc ?

assuming it is still performing, 1050 ti ~70W, CPU ~100W, rest ~50W. 220 times 1.25 for head room, 300+ should handle well.

Thankyou I know I have been asking you a lot of questions but I have 1 stick of 8 gb ram. How much difference is there between single channel and dual channel ?

Check this for detailed test:https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/1349-ram-how-dual-channel-works-vs-single-channel?showall=1

It seems FPS diff should be small.

Ok thankyou how much difference is ther between the 1050 and the 1050ti fps wise

 

[vapour]

Get 1050 ti if you can. 10%-20% FPS diff depends on game, if you can spare ~$30, get 1050 ti. 4gb is better than 2gb and also has more cuda cores.

Thankyou for helping me out you hve been so helpful now I can complete my budget pc ohh wait is it good to get an ssd just for boot times?

 

[vapour]

ssd has two major usages: booting and game loading. I recommend ~250 gb ssd so you can enjoy both benefits. Only booting may not be enough motive for me to spend on a small SSD. SanDisk has 240 gb for ~$75, not that expensive. You will want to install game on SSD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dEsTiOeMQ4

Surely it would take up storage space if I put the games on the ssd as some games are massive
