Hi ,
I was wondering if I buy a MSi gtx 1050 ti will bottleneck my cpu too much or if it will but not much or it will not at all . i know it depends on what games I am thinking , but i wish to know in general games .
My CPU is an amd a8 6600k , i am currently using a r7 250x , and my actual gpu reaches to 100% easily on most recent games while my cpu don´t have to reach to 100% on most of them to handle .

the 250x is weak, you will see improvement

especially if you overclock the cpu

the gtx 1050 ti is about max that cpu can handle


and yes without a nice overclock it struggles in a lot of games

you think even if the cpu struggles in most games I can have some improvement on gaming or should buy a new cpu ?
