Ok first of all I don't know ANYTHING about computers :( so basically when I bought mine I set a budget and the guy from the shop built it, after months I decided to buy a new video card (Gtx 1050 ti) but now I don't know what to buy and I checked on "Can I run it" if I will be able to run Witcher 3 and it says that I can't so... I need help please

These are my specs:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4160 CPU @ 3.60GHz

Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Video Card #2 Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400

RAM 8.0 GB

Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 (build 15063), 64-bit

At medium 1080p, you'd expect a 1050ti to get in the neighborhood of 50 fps with an i7-5960x (Techspot benchmarked a slightly better GPU in the low 50s and a slightly worse one than the 1050ti in the high 40s). You probably lose another 8-10 fps with the CPU...

Thanks for the reply, yes I have the monitor connected to the GPU.

Well but for example I don't want to run the game with low settings I want a better experience, maybe not running everything on Ultra but something between high and medium. I feel like the video card is not that bad, should I upgrade my processor or?

You probably lose another 8-10 fps with the CPU (there are minimal gains for this game above an i5-3470). So given the lack of specific benchmarking for this combo, I'd expect you to get 40-45 or so with your build.

Your parts are well matched. If you upgraded the GPU significantly enough to be worthwhile, you'll likely need a CPU upgrade as well. There's also the issue of your power supply. All this depends on your need, budget, and willingness.
