What GPU should pair with I7 3770K?

[Randy Marsh]

I'm interested in 900p - 1080p LOW Settings 100 FPS+ for Rainbow Six Siege.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

GTX 1060 6GB or RX 580 8 GB.

You can pair ANYTHING with that cpu. Just pick your budget.

I have a GTX 950 laying around, am I able to get 900p - 1080p LOW Settings 100 FPS+ for Rainbow Six Siege?

Not really, GTX 1050 Ti can do around 70-80 fps low settings 1080p in RSS.

What about constant 60 FPS? I have a old AM3 CPU that Dips down to 20-60 FPS. And was wondering if the i7 3770k will stop these Dips?

Probably since AM3 CPUs were pretty rubbish, especially quad-cores.
Then again if you want to get or build new PC then you are probably better off with something more modern since you would need to replace motherboard anyway.
i3-8100 can run pretty much same as i7-3770K and has no problem running RSS.

GTX 950 can easily run Rainbow Six Siege at 1080p with everything on medium, with some at settings at high, at 60-80fps.

As for your cpu situation, new modern platform would last longer without need for possible upgrade. But as you said, it will cost you more.

How many FPS would I get for the Lowest Settings at 1080p?

Not sure why you would want to run everything at lowest, it will look bad.
At lowest settings your limit might actually be the cpu (if no overclocking is done), but you would get ~120-140fps most likely.

The thing is, I have a LGA 1155 Motherboard laying around. Would it be worth it for an upgrade? Plus I only need to get the CPU. Where as if I upgrade, it would cost more? What do you think, I should do?

Depends how cheap can you get one, if like half the price then this then maybe:

I could careless about Graphics on Esports games. Unless If I was Live Streaming, I'll up the Graphics.
Note: Lowest Graphics is easier for me to see enemies.

Fair enough. If you're planning on serious E-Sports gaming, then yea. Although, the only setting you may truly want to be off/low is the shadows.

Texture quality and the sharper image (with high AA, or higher resolution) IMO makes it much easier to spot enemies since they won't be blurry mess then.

for this title i would go with the rx 580.

Just lay around the 950 or use as a weight paper.
1060 or RX580 are the maximum suggested GPU for your CPU since anything higher would be bottlenecked.

What's your budget?

Don't listen him.
Not only does the 3770K not bottleneck anything above 1060/580 (well, except 1080TI) but the 950 also does just fine at what you are planning. Of course, 1050Ti/1060 would do even better.

Um...

3770Ks are really powerful CPUs, and they overclock like a demon. They're about equivalent to a 7700K, and will carry any GPU currently in production just fine. The only limiting factor is budget, and what OP wants to play. They would have no trouble at all running a Titan Z or SLI 1080Tis.

Source: I own and run a 3770K paired with a GTX1080. I've reached exactly the same framerates as my 8700K does at stock clocks, when using the same GPU and RAM quantity.

What AM3 do you have?

I played it on that awhile ago ^.

Either intel or amd the GTX950 is the limiting part.

GTX950 at lower res ^.

OP what's your budget?

We just recommend something in our own opinion whats good to pair with your CPU, but we wouldn't know if it's out of your budget, or not since you won't tell us that much.

I think good GPU to pair with your CPU for 1080p is one of these a GTX 1070, GTX 1070 Ti, GTX 1080, Vega 56, or Vega 64, as any one of these should meet your needs.

I finally managed to fix my desktop which has one of these 3770ks. It's one damn fine CPU. i have mine running at 3.9ghz without ever doing any OC outside of Intel's own Turbo thing. Since my budget was on the lower side, I decided towards a GTX 1060 6GB for around 325$. Got one of those fancy MSI ones with two fans and multi colored lights (though I didn't know the lights were there until I plugged it in and switched it on, heh).

I don't play first person shooters, but I tried some korean mmos, which are pretty much nightmare scenarios for almost any PC out there, and they run fine at near max settings. Fine as in 60 fps almost everywhere with the usual expected drop to 40ish when the screen is full of glowing winged player avatars and their pets and their nonsense chats. So your game should run fine even at medium. Not sure if at your target 100fps though. Are you on one of those monitors that require high fps because of it's refresh rate? Still if that's an issue, it SHOULD run at that fps on low without problem.

So I can recommend a 1060 (6GB. Don't get the 3GB one unless going SLI) if budget is low. But if you have the cash to spare, go 1080, or wait for the new gtx11xx stuff. Your CPU will most likely handle them well too.
