want to know if my cpu is bottlenecking ?

[MOHAMAD AIMAN]

I want to Upgrade My G.card
the old one is gtx 660 ti 2gb twin fronz

this screenshot my fps and gpu usage want i play a some games
https://imgur.com/c4ece0O The Evil Within 2 1980x1080 High Setting

GTX 1050 TI 4GB OR Palit GTX 1060 6GB jetstream

My Specs. Are
CPU:-Intel core i3 3.3 GHZ 3220
Mother board:- msi b75a-g43 gaming Series
RAM:- 16gb DDR3 Kingston
HDD:- Seagate, 2TB
G.C: GTX 660 2gb ti Twin fronz

Is this GPU is going to work in my PC Flawlessly Stable?...I really like to know it and which one i should G.card between 1050 or 1060 ?

sorry 4 my bad english

Hi,

According to a master and lots of helpful folks on the forum, it seems like your i3 might bottleneck in some cases.
Here's the original post,

And this is a chart that is in the post,

I'm not an expert but I suppose this should help you a bit.

But apart from that, the price of graphics cards are so high right now. Maybe wait for the next round? At least I'm going to wait for the next generation. My poor 770 seemed to give up a few days ago.

Cheers,
Derrick

hey thanks for helping me..that true the price so high need to wait a few month or years
in the chart of gtx 1050 say about my proc i3...it seem just a some games will be bottleneck not all games but 1060 ( bottleneck everything lol )
and i thinks maybe just buy a gtx 1050 ti

That i3 is dual core with hyperthreading. That's 4 threads possible, squeezed into the bandwidth of 2 cores. In simple stuff, where 2x threads per core have plenty of space to move, the i3 is great. Once you start seeing cpu usage per core going above @80% then you get slowdowns as things get prioritized and backed up. This is bottlenecking. Currently that's extremely common on 4 thread cpus with more modern games.

With higher performance gpus you get greater demands. The cpu is all about fps, the gpu is resolution. If you raise graphics settings, there are some that are extremely cpu bound, so increase demand for frames refresh. Just as there are graphics settings that are gpu bound, which makes the gpu work harder. So it's a balance you must figure out.

The i3 can only do so much, it'll run into issues with some games no matter what gpu is used, the 1050ti or 1060, other games the 1060 will be able to overpower the i3's ability to keep up. But in some games, that i3 is more than enough cpu to easily keep up with a 1060.

Personally, for best all around performance and balance for that i3, I'd recommend the 1050ti. Granted you'll do better in some games with a 1060, but in just as many others you'll see low fps as the cpu just can't handle the workload. The 1060 is also rediculously expensive eight now.

hi..thanks for answers my question and yes right now i just go for gtx 1050 ti
maybe next year or next2 gen i will upgrade a both cpu and G.card
