so i got this motherboard
GA-H61M-DS2 (rev. 3.0) - 3rd generation PCI-Express interface running Cori5 3450
what the best GPU i can get for this motherboard
thx

A GTX 1060 or an RX 580. Specific model depends on your case size/clearance and your budget. To give you an idea of the cost:

SO what you saying is that my motherboard can handle that GPU ? "GTX 1060" and run well with CORI5 3450 ?

Any motherboard that has a PCIe x16 slot (whether 2nd gen or 3rd gen) will be compatible with the GTX 1060 or RX 580 (as both cards have a PCIe x16 interface).

The specific GPU choices takes into account the CPU you are using (i5-3450), which will not hinder the powerful GPUs' performance in most situations (except, possibly, in very very CPU-intensive games).

Just make sure your current PSU has ample wattage and PCIE power connectors depending on the GPU model that you will choose. For the GTX 1060, usually, a ~450W PSU will suffice. For the RX 580, usually, a ~550W PSU is recommended.

that mean i need to change my CPU right ? btw my psu is 500w

No, you don't "need" to change your CPU. As it is, the i5-3450 will NOT hinder the GTX 1060's or RX 580's performance in most scenarios. It is only in very specific worst-case scenarios (like in CPU-intensive games) that your current CPU may prevent the GPU from reaching 100% usage -- this can be easily resolve by simply decreasing in-game graphics settings.

Unless you have a specific use for a more powerful CPU than your current one, I'd keep it as it is to save costs. Later on, while using your GPU and specific games, you can determine, at that point in time, if there is a real necessity to upgrade such CPU.

i know i bother you with all this questions . but tbh i bought A gaming DELL monitor 1920x1080 - 27INCh monitor about 500$ US dollars so when i log into game like for EXM . warthunder I experience some FBS drop even into 50-40 fbs not all the time tbh only on hard part on the map . but in the past i was have 1366x768 monitor runing the game very good 130-90 fbs is that bcz of my CPU or the GPU ? i think bcz of the GPU most thinking ? what you think pls

raisonjohn · Jul 31, 2017

Both CPU and GPU will play a major part on FPS, esp. in lower resolutions.

The GPU will not work as hard rendering 1366 x 768 (i.e., 1.05M pixels) compared to rendering at 1920 x 1080 (i.e., 2.07M pixels). On the other hand, the CPU will work harder in lower resolutions, to keep up with the pace of the GPU, as it communicates data to be rendered, compared to higher resolutions where the GPU will have to render at a longer pace.

This is the reason why you get higher 90-130 fps in 1366 x 768 compared to only 40-50 fps or so in 1920 x 1080. In both cases, it seems that your current CPU is up to the task.

So, if you get a top-of-the-line GPU for 1080p resolution gaming, it should hold up to your 1920 x 1080 monitor.

You haven't mentioned what your current GPU is, by the way.

my GPU is - Evga GTX750ti 2g

raisonjohn · Jul 31, 2017

Yeah, as suspected, your GPU is the main reason why you are getting much lower FPS in 1080p.

The GTX 1060 is more than 200% better in performance than your current GTX 750 Ti (a low-end GPU): http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-750-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB/2187vs3639

WOW !! that was amazing so the best you suggest asus1060 6GB

raisonjohn · Jul 31, 2017

Yes, that's what I would do if I was in your situation.
