Will my gtx 1060 6gb be good enough for 144hz monitor?

On low/medium settings??

7664stefan · Jul 4, 2018

Will work...yes...performance depends on the game you have in mind. There was a similar thread in the past weeks asking for Fortnite, where the GTX 1060 delivers sufficient performance to supply around 120 FPS. Again, does not only depend on the GPU, but as well on the other available hardware.

2sidedpolygon · Jul 4, 2018

Probably, but it depends on what games you're playing. In some lighter ones it'll almost certainly hit 144 FPS, but in heavy games, 60-80 FPS is to be expected.

Ok thanks

Also I don't have the card yet, but will in a few days, will my ATHLON X4 880k quad core @4ghz bottleneck it?

carlosipodtouch :

You shouldn't experience any major bottlenecking

7664stefan · Jul 4, 2018

Well...with an old Athlon...I have not seen reference benchmarks but would expect that you might miss 20-30% of the 1060's performance. As usual depending on how much CPU driven the game is.

2sidedpolygon · Jul 4, 2018

7664stefan :

No, not really. Look at benchmarks before answering questions. The Athlon is on par with a G4560.

Rogue Leader · Jul 4, 2018

2sidedpolygon :

Not on this or any planet. The G4560 is MASSIVELY faster than the Athlon. You need to look at the benches yourself before accusing people.

That Athlon will bottleneck that card, period. It will affect the framerate. On many games it still should be more than playable but you will lose quite a bit on maximum framerate, and some CPU bound games will show performance issues.

They do not look too far off?

Rogue Leader :

MOD EDIT: Profanity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTjNgNVfQWg In most cases, the differences are minor. The only ones where the G4560 has a significant edge are Battlefield 1 and DOOM, with Mafia 3 and GTA V giving more minor gaps in the framerate. "MASSIVELY" faster is a MASSIVE exaggeration.

carlosipodtouch :

Yeah don't trust some random youtuber. Real instrumented benchmarks:

Seconly use profanity again and you will be banned.

Is that not a different CPU? that says 750k and mine is 880k, the 750k is nearly 6 years old and mine is only 2

Rogue Leader · Jul 4, 2018

carlosipodtouch :

The 750k and 880k are nearly identical. They run on the same platform, have the same cores, and the 880k is clocked higher. In some of the test they have the 750k clocked to the 880k's level, they are virtually the same.

Keep in mind it will still play games decently well, but you won't be hitting nearly 60fps in most at 1080p, due to that processor.

Surely there has been some change in 4 years. There is no bottleneck on my 1050ti 4gb so I only expect a slight bottleneck?

2sidedpolygon · Jul 4, 2018

Rogue Leader :

And what "Real Instrumented Benchmarks" do you have to prove that they are on the same platform?

Rogue Leader · Jul 4, 2018

carlosipodtouch :

The extra clock speed gives it an advantage in some cases as you can see there. The advantage is VERY minimal. AMD was very stagnant throughout the early 2010s. That small difference you can see there (which is only in compute and not gaming tasks) is not going to make up the 20-30 fps the 750k loses to the G4560 in nearly every test.

The point here for you is a 144hz monitor is in many cases a waste of money. Even with the graphics turned down you may have issues getting near that mark, unless all you play are esports titles like Rocket League, LoL and CSGO.

Rogue Leader · Jul 4, 2018

2sidedpolygon :

Do you even know what a platform is?

These processors use the same, socket, the same cores, and are of the same design. They came from the same foundry. The 880k is literally a factory overclocked 750k. The 880 used Kaveri which was a core evolution of Richland which the 750 is based on. Its the same core with slightly more cache.

Rogue Leader :

"Platform" has multiple interpretations. In context, you gave the impression you were referring to performance

Rogue Leader · Jul 4, 2018

2sidedpolygon :

No, it has no multiple interpretations. CPU platforms are CPU platforms. I was definitely referring to performance as well as the architecture and every other feature of it.

7664stefan · Jul 5, 2018

Nice that we now seem to be on the same page: the Athlon will not reveal the full potential of the GPU. TH DE did a test around this in the past...am still searching for it...where the output was that indeed for a lot of combinations and depending on the CPU the full GPU potential could not be reached. Of course, as always, depending on the game.
