[SOLVED] Will an Intel core i3 3240T bottleneck a GT 1030?

[sawma_xd]

I am thinking of buying a GT 1030 for my PC but will my Intel Core i3 3240T bottleneck it assuming that the CPU is paired with 4gb ddr3 1600mhz(4x2)?
A GT 1030 is going to be much more useable compared to Intel HD Graphics 2500.
I will mostly be playing games on 1366x768,not gonna play modern games like Fortnite or COD Warzone,etc.
I am only going to play games like Minecraft,Terraria,CSGO and old games from the 2000s and maybe some GTA 5.
I would truly appreciate any form of help 😀

You should be looking at a 4th gen Intel processor to pair that discrete GPU. Could you please parse the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:

include the age of the PSU in your build, apart from it's make and model.

"bottleneck" is a useless term.

Your question should be..."Will a GT 1030 perform better than the iGPU in the CPU?"
The answer is Yes.

'how much' is only known after you start playing.

4gb ddr3 1600mhz(4x2)?

And 4 x 2 = 8GB, not 4.

@sawma_xd

if you're going to buy a 1030, be sure to get the GDDR5 version.

video comparing DDR4 1030 and GDDR5 1030.

Mostly aiming to get atleast 60fps constantly with a render distance of 16 and fancy graphics and with performance enhancing mods like optifine or sodium(trust me these mods boost fps by a lot,i mean a LOT)
