This isn't a question of whether or not your graphics card can handle your processor, it's kind of the other way around. Your processor can keep up pretty well with literally any graphics card, a 4690k with a Titan X is a stretch, but still wouldn't necessarily be a bad pairing. Or on the other end, you could run it with a GT 610, and while it would still run, you would get terrible performance because of the graphics card.

Overall, If you run it with the 1050, the 1050 will be the limiter on what you can play, and at what settings and frame rates. It is a good pairing overall, and the two components will definitely work well together, but if you can afford a better GPU, then get one.

with gtx 1050

using the 1 card results you see your hurting yourself with the lesser card almost by 1/2

that 4690 over the 4670 I use looks to be a bit stronger as well

You are pairing a high-mid range CPU with a a low end GPU. Odds are the 1050 will run out of juice before the CPU. So in graphics demanding games with settings turned up. The 1050 will more than likely become the bottleneck.

ya , I had to ditch AMD due to there lack of supporting my needs even some of my older games were not supported after driver 12.6 with this NVidia card all my games work and then with a 900 series card i'n also supported down to win-XP

with that NVidia supports me not me having to support them sad thing it looks like with the 10 series NVidia is going down the same road as AMD as far as end user support

less os support - no dvi-I ect.......... so glad I got this 900 card before they were gone
