I have an MSI GTX 680 which is nearly identical in gaming performance to the 1050 Ti and an A10-7860K overclocked to 4.1GHz turbo core, running at turbo speed (thanks to Windows High Performance setting). I've played GTA V with mostly Very High settings, 1080p at locked 30FPS and it runs perfectly. Evolve Stage 2 takes quick massive drops on some intense scenes (and areas), but for the most part, 60FPS on Medium while dropping only slightly to the 50s. I consider it very playable. Dying Light on the other hand sees bottlenecking a lot (max settings), even with some of the settings dropped, which I consider unplayable if the game looks like crap in terms of details. The Witcher 3 ALMOST runs at a perfect 30FPS on Ultra (all hairworks...
It depends on what you play. There are titles, particularly new AAA games and online games with large numbers of players (Battlefield, Fallout, that sort of game) in which your CPU will cause poor performance - it is, after all, a 4 year old CPU, which was low-end when it was released. That GPU should be good for medium-high settings in most games at 1080P.

The Witcher 3 ALMOST runs at a perfect 30FPS on Ultra (all hairworks settings off), but drops down to about 25 - 27 at times. It runs perfectly on High preset (again, hairworks off) with a nea perfect 30FPS. I have made a video of GTA V and Evolve, Witcher 3 coming soon. You should see better performance than me though. By the way, all games I mentioned are at 1080p.

what abt rx 5704gb? Will it bottleneck worse than a 1050ti or will it be able to max out 1080p max settings? I'm lookin forward to buy it soon with my a10 7890k
 
It's a faster card than the 1050 Ti, but if you're frame-limited by your CPU, having a faster GPU will not deliver higher framerates.

However, you'll be able to raise graphical settings more with a 570 before your framerates start to drop, than with a 1050 Ti.

I would have to say yes as this is quite a bit more power than the 1050 Ti. I honestly wouldn't pair anything too powerful with FM2/FM2+ processors. Not to mention, the 7890K is as good as you can get. My 7860K + GTX 680 bottlenecked the crap out of Dying Light, so I knew that is as far as I would push it.
