Will this cpu and gpu pair okay with Fortnite battle royale?

[Ryan0710]

Hey all,
I am buying a gtx 780ti graphics card because i am upgrading my pc. i currently have a intel pentium g4400 and was going to pair it with the 780ti. I want to Fortnite Battle Royale in 1080p at high settings SMOOTHLY... i know my cpu needs an upgrade, but im going to do that in July when its my birthday because i need some more money. Will these two work for now? also, what cpu should i upgrade to later (soon)? My power supply is a corsair cx650m, so im pretty sure i have enough power, etc. Thanks! -Ryan

yeah, for that game it will do just fine at 1080p. High settings, sure, but maybe some bits dialled back.

also what CPU to upgrade to depends on your mobo. If you want to post the specs, I can advise more

I suspect it's a LGA1151 socket. You could in theory (with a Bios update) use one of the 7th gen intel cpu's like a 7600k, which would be a big upgrade what you have, and then all the way up to an i7 7700/7700k

My mobo is a msi h170m-a pro
ram: 8gb
case: cooler master master box lite 3.1 (TP)

gtx 780ti vs gtx 970. What i want to do: Play FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE at 1080p high settings SMOOTHLY. I also need some cpu suggestions to upgrade my pentium g4400. The cpu is preferably budget (-$150 territory) Thanks!

sure gtx 970,it consume lower TDP

sure gtx 970,it consume lower TDP

so, the 780ti isnt better price to performance??

Question from Ryan0710 : "FINAL CHOICES for my PC UPGRADE!"

Hey all, I have finally made my choice of getting a new gpu. My gpu of choice is officially the 780ti because it seems to be cheaper than the 970 with almost, if not equal or better, performance. I mainly want to play Fortnite: Battle Royale and possibly some Call of Duty titles down the road... but mostly battle royale games, more specifically, Fortnite and H1Z1. However, i have found many different variations of the 780 ti and im not sure which is better, or if theres no (performance) difference. Im stuck in between the Inno3D Geforce GTX 780TI, gtx 780ti OC WINDFORCE, EVGA gtx 780 ti, Zotac gtx 780ti, asus nvidia gtx 780ti, PNY 780ti, and the gigabyte gtx 780ti. i have around $200 to spoend and ive found multiple deals for these cards at my price. If you guys know which is best/preferred PLEASE let me know! Also, if you have any suggestions on possibly another card which is better for the right price with more performance, then let me know as well. Thanks!!

It's a 780ti. Brand really doesn't matter, for the most part it's personal preference. I prefer Asus cards or MSI simply because I'm not big on the drone that comes from the Gigabyte fans on the tri-fan cards. Evga is also decent and has the best warrantee/service dept (in case things go south). Inno3d any PNY are basically reference designs with some clock bumps, not custom pcbs like the big3.

But at the end of the day, they are pretty much similar in performance, all inside the 780ti range.

what do you mean by drone?

Fans make noise. There's no way around that other than larger fans at slower rpm. The gigabyte windforce uses 3x smaller fans vrs the 2x larger on the Asus or msi. The fans on the gigabyte get to a certain speed and that particular pitch just irritates some ppl.

Okay, would you recommend blower or custom? (reference card or normal)

The only time I'd recommend blower type cards is under 2x conditions.
1) sli/cf. Because of some spacing between cards, regular axial fans can and do create issues with airflow or simply don't fit as the card is deep. So blowers are far superior in application.
2) limited space. Some cases, especially SFF and micro mini towers have seriously little room for airflow, minimal intake and exhaust. Since blowers dump exhaust outside the case, this alleviates a huge heat source inside the case, which keeps heat regulated to basically the VRM's and cpu. An axial gpu dumps its heat inside the case, thereby creating heat problems, especially for the cpu.

Most all ATX mid towers, micro towers, mITX etc have sufficient airflow that a standard aftermarket gpu is better, simply due to the fans and heatsink having better thermal properties.

it has about 40% lower TDP,and AFAIK 780ti only slight better
i better pick gtx 970

How about paired with a 980?

Basically the 780ti and 970/980 are the same thing, they trade blows depending on the game
