Ive been given i7 7700k and gigbyte ga z270x gaming 7 and also ripjaws 16gb ram, i wondered if i can still rock on the power supply?
cheers.

Obviously not if the settings are kept equal. Though as I said, decreasing graphical settings will increase performance. A GTX 1050 can output equal FPS using a lower resolution and graphical settings compared to a GTX 1080 at high graphical settings/ resolution.

A better GPU means either higher FPS (as long as CPU isn't limiting), with equal graphical settings, or equal performance with higher graphical settings, and in between.

A better CPU simply provides a potential for higher performance.

Depends on settings, OC etc.

Best to wait and see as it can and will vary.

Nothing is written in stone.

Reason why I never give numbers.

Your GPU is getting dated now at around 5 years old also so you might want to think about upgrading that also.

Something like an RX 580 or GTX 1060 6 GB, either one would be a large performance increase over what you have now.

If you CPU is currently the minitling factor while playing, you can experience uplifts of 30% performance. If your CPU isn't the limiting factor, you'll see little framerate improvement if any.

Remember FPS increases only matter/are noticeable until they exceed your monitor's refresh rate. So if your monitor is 60hz, and you are currently getting a stable 65+ FPS, no hardware upgrade will give you better noticeable performance.

I doubt he is getting anything near 60 FPS in PUBG with a R9 280X no matter what CPU he is using.

I am thinking 30 FPS if he is lucky at low settings, that's an old card.

And that R9 280X will bottleneck the i7 7700K.

Any gpu can perform any frame rate. It just depends on the graphics settings / resolution in play.

Also, bottlenecking doesn't matter. Any gpu can bottleneck and CPU, vice versa, what difference does it make? As long as CPU performs to FPS goals / refresh rate, and gpu performs to graphics settings, the CPU/gpu combination is fine.

They could be playing low settings at 720p. That's could be enough for 60fps as long as CPU is fine.

He would have to be playing at low settings for sure with that card.

We are talking about PUBG here.

As soon as the settings are increased it would be pretty much done much over low with that GPU.

So with your logic you are saying it wouldn't matter if they were using a GTX 1050 or a GTX 1080 because the frame rates would be same right?

That's keeping the CPU the same.

Interesting logic and completely wrong as I have done the tests myself using 2 different GPU's with the same CPU and the same GPU in 2 different machines.

A GPU can make a HUGE difference in performance form my own testing.
