Will A8-7650K bottleneck a GTX 1050 Ti (1080p)

[Turtles421]

So, I have an A8-7650K processor and I wanted to do a kinda low budget upgrade so I decided to buy a graphics card. I'm thinking of buying a GTX1050 Ti however, I am not sure if there's going to be much of a bottleneck considering my pretty bad CPU. My expectations are all games around 60 FPS at 1080p (not all settings maxed out of course)

cpu intesentive games will be hold back by your cpu no matter what.

the 1050 ti is a perfect fit with an A8.

you could also swap out the CPU for a Athlon x4 and overclock the hell out of it since you have a graphics card now, the athlon x4's are dirt cheap now that Ryzen is out.

As long as you're willing to lower settings if necessary, I think that upgrade is worth it. You might not hit 60fps on ALL games, but you'll hit it on almost all games, and get close enough on the rest.

I'm going to assume you have the system ram and power supply and UEFI bios motherboard to handle this card.
