CPU Bottlenecking GPU

cuN_ · Aug 27, 2017

I have a GTX 1050Ti And an i7 870, the cpu of course is bottlenecking my gpu, so i wanna find a new cpu from the same socket (1156).
Hope to get help!

Forget about a new cpu from that socket. Upgrade overall. But I would assume the bottleneck is GPU not CPU. The i7 870 is still reputable but lagging. Can you upgrade to newer platform? If not then I'd stress GPU upgrade first.

Im using a GTX 1050Ti atm tho

Your upgrade path is: keep GPU, and sell off the CPU/mobo/RAM and get yourself happy. That i7 is decent but 6 years old and will hold back your GPU. I'd sell now and look at the new Ryzen 5 as upgrade path.
