GTX 1070 Founders Edition and i5 7400 good enough to game in 1080p?

jatinfifa17 · May 10, 2018

My PC specs are:

CPU: Intel i5 7400 3.0 GHz
GPU: GTX 1070 8gb Founders Edition
RAM: 16gb DDR4
HDD: 1TB
PSU: 500W

will I be able to play games like PUBG in over 100fps on 1080p?

I think you should.

I'm running an i7-980 with a 1060 and it plays everything on 1080p over 60 fps.

I can't guarantee you will get over 100...but I think there's a good chance you will.

I would think that most games would run over 100fps... even PUBG on lower settings. If you want to run it at higher settings I'm afraid the optimization just isn't there. You can probably expect 60 to 80fps, but I'm not sure you are going to reach an average of 100.

Here's a real world example for you.

I was playing Sniper Elite 4 last night on max settings on 1080p with an i7-980 and an Asus GTX 1060 Turbo.

It ran at 80 fps pretty steady. Never dipped below 75.

Wait a second. It will run good, but which PSU exactly?

Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 500-Watt Non-Modular Power Supply

I didn't even look at the power supply. Sorry. I think that's on the weak side for sure.

jatinfifa17 · May 10, 2018

jay32267 :

what power supply would you suggest?

jay32267 · May 10, 2018

I'm not a power supply guru. I usually just buy what I'd consider halfway decent and I size it large. I just put a system together with a 1000w Corsair RMi series...and I probably only needed 600-700.

My logic is...the larger components take less abuse...thus the unit is more reliable and lasts longer. (I build electronic equipment for a living).

If you look here

it's calling for a 500w minimum.

jay32267 :

so should I go for 600w or 650w?

jay32267 · May 10, 2018

As I said...I go big....so I'd go for the 650w.
...but get something of decent quality. Although I'm not a guru, I know there are many crap manufacturers and models out there that don't output what they claim.
I would google around a bit and see what models are considered "good"....or you could even ask that question on the components forum.

I know the RMi I bought seemed to be considered halfway decent from what I read. I know there's a Corsair model above that....but I didn't feel like I needed to go that far.
