I want to upgrade my GPU to something better.
but I don't know which one would be the best for my CPU (i5-9400F), without too much bottlenecking?

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 8:13 PM

#

still a decent cpu

#

what is your current gpu???

timber vine Sep 10, 2023, 8:14 PM

#

A 1050ti.
Pc was built 4 years ago

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 8:14 PM

#

alr

#

you got a budget on the gpu or anything???

timber vine Sep 10, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

Up to 450$ maybe more

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

damn wtf

#

#

timber vine Sep 10, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

Just gaming

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

alr

#

prob something like a 3060ti

timber vine Sep 10, 2023, 8:18 PM

#

What about the 4060
Or is it too much for my cpu

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 8:18 PM

#

no

#

the 4060 is just pretty horrible ngl

timber vine Sep 10, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

Why's that?

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

hold on

#

the 4060 is more than the 3060ti

#

and has worse performance

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

timber vine Why's that?

#

timber vine Up to 450$ maybe more

rx 6750 xt

timber vine Sep 10, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

for some reason
the 3060ti costs more than the 4060 in my country

#

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 GAMING OC 8GB GDDR6
costs 461$

#

and rtx 3060ti costs about 20-30% more

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

damn

#

what country tho

timber vine Sep 10, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

israel

#

so in that case
what should i do?

#

imo it wouldn't be wise to buy the 3060ti

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

the 4060 is 450 dollars?

#

it would pair well with the 9400f ig

timber vine Sep 10, 2023, 9:45 PM

#

is there any other things that i would be worried about?

#

like cooling or psu

#

ram

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 9:49 PM

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

maybe one of those is fine

#

timber vine Sep 10, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

nope

halcyon frigate Sep 10, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

then one of those is fine

#

even if you need ray tracing or dlss i think those would be okay

timber vine Sep 12, 2023, 7:46 PM

#

Wouldnt my pc turn into an absolute furnace with the 4060 installed?

copper inlet Sep 12, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

No

#

Tdp is less than 200 watts afaik

#

Unless it’s in a glass shitbox like the H510 Elite
