Hey guys, so I built myself a budget 720p gaming PC a year ago with the intention of upgrading it to a 1080p gaming PC a year later. It's now been a year 😛. My question is will the quad core APU bottleneck a 1050 Ti or 1050? I would like the card to perform as it is intended, which is generally 1080p medium settings with average of 60 FPS. Yet I fear that the APU might cause me to lose 5-10 frames as opposed to a system that uses an Intel chip. I figured since it's a quad core that it should handle most games fine so long as I don't try to over extend (keep my settings to 1080p medium). The only games I play are Overwatch, Battlefront, and I plan to play the upcoming Battlefront 2. I currentlt play overwatch and battlefront at 720p low to medium settings and average around 40 FPS (my RAM is only 1333 Mhz).

on most games you will not hit 60 fps without seriously lowering settings

the a8 is just not a gaming cpu
