PC - PC Spec Question - View Post

Well I wasn’t going to get into how games are made. I am talking on a hardware front and how a CPU and GPU complement each other. I agree every game is made differently to benefit different setups. However bottlenecking hardware for example - Buying a Monster GPU if the CPU is way behind the 8 ball is not a wise decision.

So I use the Paint Brush and Pencil method. I don’t see the point in spending $$$$ on a GPU if it’s running on a mediocre CPU, and vice a versa. Ill drop down my GPU options if my CPU isn’t up to scratch (Save money). Having a good blend of both CPU and GPU to complement each other will benefit a lot in the long term.


You reach a point where your CPU is "good enough".
He isn't chasing 4k 60fps here. - It's still faster than the majority of AMD systems and they game perfectly fine.

A Geforce 1060 is a good pairing up with a Sandy Bridge chip.
