I have a very important question. Last year in October I bought a gaming PC with the Ryzen 5 2400g as CPU and an MSI Gtx 1050 Ti as GPU. I mainly play Fortnite and play it at the highest level (Competitive / Tournaments). Because of that, I decided to buy a new GPU because I just need more FPS if I want to keep up. Now my question is, would you recommend me to get the RTX 2070 and then say 1-2 months on my Ryzen 2400g processor to play, until I can then afford a stronger processor again? Or does bottlenecking affect the performance of my PC in general? I appreciate your answers!
Just set the lowest resolution, all graphical option to the lowest setting down to sight and objects / object quality (which should be maximum).
Then play a round, you should move almost completely in the CPU limit, i. You will not get better fps or frametimes, no matter which card.
If that's enough for you, you can easily get the 2070, if the frames are not significantly different to your chosen settings with the 1050ti, it would not be worth it for you.
Important is still: play really, only briefly connect to a server does not help, because in particular PvP is quite CPU-heavy.
And get better advice on the next compilation, a 2600 & RX570 would have been about as expensive and significantly more potent.
Ok thanks, only I did not quite understand it yet. So you mean that no matter with which card I would not get more fps / stable fps if I stay with the cpu or I understand something wrong? Then I will probably have to buy directly CPU and GPU
No.
Please read my answer again.
I've described how to figure out what the CPU limit would be for you in Fortnite.
Based on this experience, you can then decide if that's enough for you and you're investing in a new card, or if the increase is too low.
Ah yes ok sorry I had somehow overread on any case thank you I'll give it a try
It's never up to the CPU. At the graphics already.
a 1060 should be happy.
A 1060 would not give me much 1050Ti similar performance, and my question was only eig if I can do for the transition period of 1-2 months, until I get a new processor me
Not understood…
A processor brings nothing.
A graphic already something.
Ok so you say that I achieve more fps with a RTX 2070 than with my 1050 Ti with a same processor (Ryzen 5 2400g)? If so, then it would be perfect then I can play 1-2 months with the combination until I then get a more powerful CPU, which brings absolutely more power
Of course, a 2070 is really fast.
What I mean is that a CPU is relatively unimportant.
The important thing is the graphics. She calculates everything. The CPU only pushes over the data that the GPU has to work hard.
By the way… Games usually use a core. Important for them is the CPU clock.
An I7 e.g. Is rather exploited by professional programs like Autocad. For a game, the 8 cores bring nothing.
You can test the frames and graph temperature with Furmark. This makes every graphic glow.
The difference of the graphics can be seen clearly. Between different CPUs you will notice nothing except a few frames.
Ok, thanks again!
