[lucas]

I’m looking for a new GPU, and I’ve decided to go for a RX Vega 56

All my specs are listed below

Processer: Intel Core i7-3770

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050ti Windforce OC

RAM: Crucial ST102464BA1339.M16 2x8GB

Motherboard: Asus P8H61-MX R2.0

HDD: WD Green 2TB

SSD: Samsung 850 evo 250gb

PSU: Cooler Master G550M

Case: Corsair Carbide 275R

Chassis Fans: 3x Corsair AF120

CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U14S

Ｐｅｒｉｐｈｅｒａｌｓ

Mouse: Logitech G305 Wireless

Monitor: msi optix mag24c

Keyboard: Corsair Strafe RGB Mechanical, cherry mx red silent

Headset: Astro A10

Speakers: Bose Companion 2 Series 3

The RX Vega 56 I want is this one: https://www.ebuyer.com/821669-msi-radeon-rx-vega-56-air-boost-8gb-oc-graphics-card-rx-vega-56-air-boost-8g-oc?mkwid=s_dt&pcrid=51482416379&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CjwKCAjwzJjrBRBvEiwA867byvErGEdy7HGdijqD8pc2ZsZs_Xfgm4Xhdm_Jqw3EJbP8rE3y7oMKpxoCuhQQAvD_BwE

Is this a good idea? Anything I should do or change?

I have limited amount of money?

You need a better power supply.
Such as a decent gold certified 650 or 750w

Cm 550 are junk and won't be enough.

Also please know that Amd Vega based gpus only have windows os driver support with Win10

Could you link some? I’ve got a budget tho?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Can just use PCPartPicker.Com

SeaSonic Focus Gold are quite good.

Or Corsair RMx series

Better off with GTX 1660 Ti and you dont need to swap out PSU for it either:

550 Watts Power Supply should be fine. If your not going to Overclock. Just make sure the Power supply isn’t a Chinese Made Brand, they do cause to break.

Your current PSU is fine, keep it.

I wouldn't say it's terrible but I also wouldn't pair an RX Vega 56 on it, look into 1660ti and 2060 power draw.

175w ^ for the 2060 super which is a little less than my Rx580 190w

Or perhaps an “rx 5700”?

ive also put the same question on reddit and ive decided im going to upgrade my motherboard, ram and cpu first. due to having a locked 3770 and 1600mhz ram and a motherboard that is only compatible with ddr3. i said i had a budget and they reccomended me to get this:

Good grief, your PSU is fine, don't worry about it. Vega is last gen, 5700 is a better idea- it uses 183w max. Now considering the cpu is 77 (maybe 130w more realistic) and GPU 180 = 300ish That leaves a ton of power for the rest of the bits which don't use much - probably well under 100w total. So 550w PSU is fine see:

ive also put the same question on reddit and ive decided im going to upgrade my motherboard, ram and cpu first. due to having a locked 3770 and 1600mhz ram and a motherboard that is only compatible with ddr3. i said i had a budget and they reccomended me to get this:

Bad price memory considering it's slow, I have 3770k, for an upgrade I'd go with a 3600 with some nice quick ram and a b450 mobo, although actually that x470 is a good price though.

3000mhz ram - why, get 3600Mhz if you can for a bit more.

But I'm not going to upgrade now, DDR5 is coming, AM4 socket is likely nearing it's end. 3770 handles games fine, the GPU it the important bit.

[upcoast]

TBH all you need is a new GPU 1660ti - 2060.

Seriously if you have a limited budget ^ replace the GPU the i7 3770 locked is definitely capable of running higher GPUs than the GTX1050ti 1080p.

Used ^ GTX1070s aren't bad either and about par with 1660ti.

Should I get the new GPU first and then think about upgrading the rest when ddr5 releases

[Magma Dragoon]

You're looking at at least 2 years wait for DDR5 on desktops

[upcoast]

There's another iteration of ryzen ddr4 2020 on the way so I believe ddr5 may be a while yet.

I'm also waiting for ddr5 but hesitant about latency.

[hawkeye]

I use an i7-2600 and 1080ti. Most games work fine with old intel i7's. The gpu is the limiting factor.

Here's why -

This table rates gpus. The rating is a general performance score.
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

The 1050 ti scores 6,039. This is the bottom of the heap in performance terms.
Entry level gpus for current games are cards like the 1660 and 5700.
Scores are 10,748 and 11,552.
Your gpu is 60% as good as the current entry level cards.
So unless you change it, you'll be stuck at 60% performance regardless of the cpu.

Regarding the i7-3770 it scores 2068 / 9279.
Using high performance settings in the bios will raise the score to about 2150 / 10000.
The 2700x scores 2189 / 16954.

The first number is single-thread speed and is what determines game performance for most games, providing the cpu has enough threads. The 8 of the i7-3770 is sufficient. (The fastest gaming cpu, the i7-9700k, has 8.)
The second score is the multi-thread score. Certainly of use but most games can't use the full power. Nonetheless the 2700x is better than the 3770 with a good gpu.

So you will be spending money to upgrade from 2150 to 2189.

That's the theory. Is it actually true? Yes.

What would happen with a 3770 / vega 56 versus a 2700x / 1050ti? Oops.

The moral of the story is don't listen to fanboys.
