Will this increase gaming preformance?

Noah_Langley · Jul 18, 2017

I was going to buy this graphics card: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MCUYOWK/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

My current specs are,

GPU: AMD Radeon R5 200 Series

CPU: AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor, 3800 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

Motherboard: System Model: GA-78LMT-USB3

RAM: 12 GB

I was wondering if upgrading to that graphics card it would help boost performance by alot, please give any answers/input you can. Thanks

Yes, the gfx card will allow you to get faster frame rates at higher quality settings... if that is what you mean by 'increase performance'.

Yes, to increase fps, i was wondering what is the best gpu to get that wont bottleneck my cpu.

If you're almost spending $200 anyways, you might as well go for about $10 higher and get an actually good GPU. Here's a link to the 1060 3gb for $210: https://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=EV-1060-3G&c=CJ

Pretty hard when they're out of stock. That explains the lowball price too. Even Amazon and Newegg don't sell that card anywhere near that cheap.

Noah_Langley :

CPU bottlenecking is about your monitor's resolution. The lower it is, the more the CPU does the work. So at 1080p it would be a decent combo, lower and bottlenecking gets worse. At 1440p most of the workload is done by the GPU so BN decreases.

The out of stock doesn't explain the lowball price.. the lowball price explains the out of stock. I've personally bought two GPUs from SuperBiiz as they tend to be cheaper there. If he waits a few days, they might come back in stock and he can always auto-notify. I'm just saying, the 1050ti is not, by any means, a good card when a small bump up in price could get you a great card.

Possibly, but not likely. It's a common old-school tactic to post a low price on something after it goes out of stock to mess with the competition and try to get buyers to wait. I find it hard to believe that they can sell this card for $209 when it's $289 on Amazon- the biggest online retailer with the most buying power in the world. It will probably be $288 just so the tricked shoppers will still go through them because a buck is a buck. Happens all the time.

I say sure- keep an eye on it, but if it seems too good to be true it almost always is.

The price i found for the 1050 ti is 160 and thats already pretty expensive for me right now, and the card you showed is 50 bucks more not even in stock and i doont think i should get it if my cpu bottlenecks it anyway.

Even assuming you have the highest model - the R5 240 - (there are six R5 models in the 200 series) the 1050 Ti will be a major upgrade, two or three times the performance depending on the game.

A 1050 ($115) is always the better buy (due to horrible ti pricing from day one), your CPU might also be holding the ti a bit making performance similar to a 1050 in the same system.

^ that's a 750ti where I'm looking ???

Correction! I forgot amazon will give me all kinds of results was just looking for a 2 fan but 1 fan is fine:

Just need to point out that resolution and cpu load are not directly related, cpu load is related to fps. 60fps at 1080p requires the same workload as 60fps at 4k.

However with a specific gpu and settings reducing the resolution will increase fps (if no other bottleneck is occurring) and it is this increase in fps that put the cpu load up. Running a frame capper would prevent this.

To be honest the 1060 is stronger than I would pair with the FX4300 unless you plan on a cpu upgrade.

madmatt30 · Jul 22, 2017

If $110 is about your budget then yes the 1050 will give you a good boost game wise & is the best card in that price range .
Another $40-50 for the 1050ti so there's nothing else really close at that budget range.
