GPU Upgrade- is it good idea?

riol.oliva · Jan 2, 2018

Hello.
I want to upgrade my graphics card from NVidia GTX 1050 2GB to something better, maybe GTX 1060 6GB. Is it an good idea when I have AMD 8320 CPU and 8GB DDR3 RAM?

While the 8320 isn't the best, it can pair pretty well with stronger GPUs than a 1050.

Personally, a 6GB 1060 is the strongest I'd pair with it - you'll definitely experience some CPU-based limitations at points, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Do you think it could run Battlefield 1 on at least high settings? Probably even while recording?

Recording could potentially limit you some; not recording shouldn't be a problem though, I wouldn't think.

CPU usage pushes beyond 60% across all 8 cores in that video though, and would likely fluctuate some. Depending on how intensive your recording methods are, you may encroach on some of the resources BF1 needs to hit that kind of FPS on those settings.

Streaming while gaming puts more of a load on the CPU. I think getting a 1060 is still worth it though, since you still want the game to look and run as good as possible and a 1050 doesn't really allow for that.
