Pentium g3220 with gtx 1050

[aboubaker.med11]

I'm going to buy Gtx 1050 with this cpu (Pentium g3220)
will i get any frame drops ?
if yes, which the best graphic card with this CPU please?

 

[ano1337]

whats your budget?

whats your budget?

The price of gtx 1050 is exactly my budget

That is a reasonable combo.
The best gpu for that cpu will be a GTX1080ti.

If you already have the G3220, try this test.
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

Depends what you're expecting to play with this build. Keep in mind that this is not a quad core, so any game that need 4 cores will not work. I would suggest g3258 over g3220, price is almost the same and you have the ability to overclock the g3258 if you need an extra boost. I would say that your GPU will not be the bottleneck. The CPU will be.

I don't have enough money to buy 1080ti!
With my money i can get only 1050 and lower than 1050.

but can i play most of the games '' new and old ones'' with no lags?
i don't care if i can run it with high or low settings !

Some CPU heavy games you may have problems with the g3220, such as BF1. But the majority of games you will be able to play with reasonable framerates. You just may have to drop the settings to low or the resolution to 720p.

The 1050 and the g3220 is a good balance of CPU and GPU.

in which frame i'll be able to run bf1 with this balance please?

More and more games now require at least 4 cores. If you plan to play games like League of Legends or basic shooters, no problems. If you plan to play Playerunknown or Fortnite, forget it. You will never get past 40 fps even with the lowest graphics. I had a g3258 8 months ago, and those games were unplayable. Seriously consider buying 4 cores. If you already have the motherboard, look for a cheap i5. You'll be much more at ease with upcoming and existing games.

even if i try 720p as resolution ? or lower

The OP apparently already owns a G3220 and is asking about a gpu upgrade.
Presumably from the integrated graphics.
GTX1050 is a massive jump from integrated and is entirely appropriate.

Buying new with a big budget, of course, one can go to any thing.
G3220 has only two threads so there will be some games that can not be played.
Fortunately, really not that many.
The minimum specs for BF1 are:
•OS: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
•Processor (AMD): AMD FX-6350.
•Processor (Intel): Core i5 6600K.
•Memory: 8GB RAM.
•Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB.
•Graphics card (Nvidia): Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB.
•DirectX: 11.0 Compatible video card or equivalent.

G3220 is on the list that can run bf1:
http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=9002&canMyCpuRunIt=Battlefield%201
GTX1050 is about the same power as the GTX660
The G3220 has stronger cores than the minimum FX-6350.

Go ahead and order BF1.
It can be played, just how well needs to be discovered.

I would say that for Battleroyal games, I would forget it with dual cores. You will be able to play, but game might freeze or have huge FPS drops. Maybe that if you manage to kill every process in background that can take advantage of your cores, you might be able to make it "playable". But seriously, I would really try to get a dual core. Look facebook market places or such places, you should be able to get a decent deal on a quad core CPU..

I don't know what your framerate for BF1 will be. The minimum specs is a 6600k which you are well below. The game scales well with a lot of cores and is really an exception rather than the rule. Anytime you are playing with hardware below the minimum requirements, you are going to run into issue.

OMG!! thank you so much for giving me hope!
what about other games? such as gta v and fortnite?

 

[geofelt]

All I can say is buy the games you want to play.
See how you do.
There will be in game options that you can select that will make a difference in performance.
Your parts are not top end gaming parts, but your budget is not top end either.
Do what you can with what you have and enjoy.
