Question Will I have any problems with the new GPU?

[GoldN1337]

Hello, I would like to increase my PC's gaming performance by getting a new GPU, searched up a bit in my country and RTX 2060 has a reasonable price, but I don't really know how it'll go with my CPU.

My PC components:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570
Current GPU: GTX 750 Ti 2gb
RAM: 2x4GB 1600
Motherboard: Asus H81M-K

Could you tell me if RTX 2060 will go well with these, also if not why and what's the best GPU I could get without changing any components, as I'm not really good with budget and I think my CPU is alright.

My budget is up to 500$

yep u good homie ur gpu is compatible with ur mobo so its fine to make the switch and ur cpu is also good so no bottle necking (but yould want to upgrade ur ram if u can but if u dont want to then its still fine.) so make the upgrade

Thank you m8, I'm also thinking about upgrading RAM to 16gb. So everything should be fine.

I'm sorry? What begging? I'm just asking if I can upgrade my GPU w/o having any problems and if there is a problem which GPU I should get to have no problems with my rig...

I'll wait for more answers, to confirm 100% that it'll have no problems.

It will all work and the 2060 is a huge upgrade. Are you gaming at 1080p? At 1080p you cpu will prevent your 2060 reaching its full potential in newer cpu heavy games but will still be perfectly playable.

Uhm, ok. I didn't see the message so I thought it was meant for me.

I've got a native resolution of 1280x1024 monitor and I'm not planning to upgrade it any sooner as I mainly play competitive games(CSGO, LoL and others), I don't really care for resolution there and I want to upgrade my GPU first. But I also like to play Apex, PUBG, GTA 5, AC series, ARK, WoT and other games which have high GPU requirement. I'm not getting juicy FPS in those games, even at low settings and that's why I decided to upgrade my GPU.

Thank you.

At such a low resolution the 2060 is over the top and your cpu will limit the fps. You might even be cpu limited already. As a test try dropping the resolution even lower, if you don't see much of an fps increase you are most likely already cpu limited.

Hmm I don't think so, but you got me doubted, I'll check FPS and CPU/GPU usages while playing some games on different resolutions now.

I played PUBG and monitored hardware as well, I was playing it at 1280x800, I had pretty good fps with very low settings(90 fps), but sometimes I had huge fps drops, because my GPU usage was going up to 100% then dropping to 0%. CPU was hardly ever getting above 80%.

So, I'm not CPU limited right?

Edit:

I just benchmarked CSGO on different resolutions, results are the following(It is a game benchmark map so only records fps):

1280x1024: 182 fps average
1024x768: 192 fps average
640x480: 224 fps average

I agree that a 2060 would be overkill for resolutions around 720p, since that's around half the pixels of 1080p. Performance would be CPU-limited in practically all games with a 2060, and you could likely spend far less for a similar level of performance at that resolution. Especially if your monitor is only a 60-75Hz model, which can only update the screen that many times per second anyway. It might be worth spending a bit less on the graphics card, and putting the money saved toward a 1080p, 144Hz screen.

I really don't think they would be CPU-limited in most newer games with their existing card though, since a 750 Ti shouldn't be all that much faster than a GT 1030 among current cards. Even something like an RX 570 or GTX 1060 3GB would be somewhere around 3 times as fast when performance isn't CPU limited (which can vary based on the game and settings being used) and even one of those cards would handle that low of a resolution quite well. I don't think there would be much advantage in moving up to a card that's significantly faster than one of those unless you were also moving up to a 1080p display, at which point something like a 1660 Ti or 2060 might make some sense.
