Processor : i3 3220 @ 3.3 ghz
Mb: Intel Db75en
Ram: 4gb ddr3
I currently have a GeForce 210 which is basically potato. I was still able to run gta 5 @ 10-17 fps at lowest settings possible. I'm looking forward to upgrade to gtx 1050 and I'm in no position to upgrade my cpu in the near future. I want to know how bad my i3 is going to bottleneck the gtx 1050. I might upgrade my cpu after 1or 2 years. As of now I just want the games to be playable.
Thank you :)
 
Solution
The processor will bottleneck by a little bit, yes, but not much.
What the problem will really be though is the fact that you only have 4GB of RAM. If you have 64 bit windows grab another 4GB of the same kit, or a fresh 8GB stick.
