[Aniketh S]

Hello everyone, I'm gonna get my gtx 1050 soon and i don't know if my graphics will run in the below said spec.
My spec.
i3 3220 3.30 Ghz
4gb ddr3 ram.(will be upgrading to 6gb soon, not an issue.)
450w zebronics PSU.
INTEL dh61bf motherboard.

Can anyone plz tell me if Nvidia gtx 1050 work on my pc, if not is there any other alternative card??
Thnx in advance.

It'll run, with an oh-so-slight bottleneck, but nothing very notable. The RAM could use an improvement, because 4GB is pushing it.. but, otherwise, you're pretty A-Okay.

GTX 1050 and i3 3220 would be a great pair, however there's always a bottleneck. Make sure you have enough wattage.

A bottleneck occurs when one component of a PC (example: CPU) is being utilized more in a game than another component of a PC (example: Graphics Card).
As the example I gave, CPU bottlenecks are most common and are the only ones that have affects on performance.
If you have a CPU bottleneck, it will prevent your graphics card to reach it's full potential, thus reducing FPS.
A bottleneck depends first on the components, and second on the game, since a game can be more CPU Intensive sometimes and more GPU Intensive sometimes.

With that being said, again. A 1050 and i3 3220 will not bottleneck so you don't need to worry.
Good luck!
