I was wondering if this is worth the upgrade? Will my fps and grapics boost at all? Bottleneck?
I've got a i7-3770(non k) and AMD's Radeon HD7950 grapic-card at this time.
If so, I'm buying it asap tomorrow!


Mostly just doing this for the un-optimised game, PUBG. :p
Any answers are appreciated



Update!
Heres my Motherboard with ddr3 (16gb) (Asus - P8H61-I R2.0 Mini ITX LGA1155 Motherboard)

An i7-3770 should pair very nicely with a 1080 - there may be a very minor bottleneck in some situations, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

Whether a 1080 is the "solution" though, will depend on your resolution. For 1080p <144Hz, a GTX 1080 is likely overkill for most people, even on an unoptimized title like PUBG.

If you're gaming at 1080p.... <144Hz, a GTX 1070 may be a good option for you. If 1080p 60Hz, a GTX 1060 (6GB) may well be a solid option too - not as powerful as the 1070 or 1080 obviously, but more "fit for purpose".

As for 7950 vs 1080 (or 1070), performance would be near night & day - you'd see a substantial FPS gain in all areas (max, min and average as a result).

A 7950 is roughly on par with a 1050TI / 960 etc, albeit with 1GB less of VRAM vs the 1050TI and some 960 variants.

AFAIK, PUBG, even on "low" can utilize >2GB VRAM, and if you're playing higher settings than that, the VRAM at 3GB would likely still be a limiting factor.
A 1060 (6GB), 1070 or 1080 should see solid gains, even just on a VRAM level - once you get to "raw horsepower" performance, your gains should be quite substantial.
