what sort of fps should i expect

[joedeath332]

my son is looking to get back into counter strike and will be gaming at 1080p
his cpu will be a 2500k @ 4.4gig
If he was to get a 1070ti what sort of fps should be expect
or else what would be the best gpu for him to get.

EDIT : Now been told he wants to play on a 144hz monitor as posted below

Unless you have a 240Hz monitor, even a 1060 would be more than enough.

Counter strike runs on a potato gpu wise and is pretty much a cpu dependent game.

Thanks for the replies , but ive just been informed he would like to game at 144hz on the likes of

If it’s purely CS, then a 1070ti is overkill. A 1060 even a 1050ti is more than enough.

At least the 1070Ti will enable him to play anything else maxed out at 1080P too.

Not necessarily at 144Hz but if it’s Gsync he’ll get good frame rates on everything.

EDIT: Just looked and that’s not a Gsync monitor. Should still get very high fps with that card though @ 1080P.

He is an fps geek as he loves to do jumps etc in COD and he always said high fps helped him jump better.

edit : he just mentioned a game called red dead redemption 2 , so it will be the 1070ti i recon

also how much more better would a gsync monitor be than that one i linked , from a fps / performance wise ?

Hard to know how optimised Red Dead redemption will be, but its likely you will need to tone down a few settings or two to hit 144 FPS. can be some pretty taxing settings in these sorts of games, but as I say, make some basic tweaks and smart tradeoff's and a 1070Ti will do a solid job.

G-Sync does not increase FPS or performance. Its a form of adaptive sync. What it does is match's the refresh rate of the panel to the amount of FPS your GPU is able to pump out (below the refresh rate of the panel) with these two in sync it helps to ensure there is no screen tearing. IMO its one of those things which if you have never experienced adaptive sync tech, its fine to go without (ignorance is bliss ), but once you have used it and go back, its noticeable.

Also, Rockstar have yet to confirm RDR2 is even coming out on the PC as far as I’m aware.

PS4 and XBox only for now.

Ahh thanks for the info , for me im still 1080p @ 60hz , mind you i just used to play wow only >>

Ahhh never knew this , thanks

I have a 2500k @ 4.4 with a 980ti, so v similar to 1070ti spec.

I also have a 144hz 1080 monitor and for the last couple years it's be good to set it to cap at 120fps and generally been good. But, it's starting to struggle with newer games. Pubg needs a few options turned down, but plays well. But, Monster Hunter World has been an eye opener - pretty much all options on low and at times I've been down to 20fps (if not lower) in fights and generally max fps is about 50. I think it's more down to the cpu than gpu, so a potential word of warning that the 2500k might be the limiting factor with more and more multi-threaded games appearing. Certainly not the "At least the 1070Ti will enable him to play anything else maxed out at 1080P too." statement from above.

As for RDR2 - we don't know if it's heading to PC yet at all. All the promo vids only say Xbox and PS4 at the end, so there's no guarantees. But, assuming it uses a similar game engine to GTA5, then the 2500k with 1070ti should be fine...

Thanks for the info , yip the 2500k is getting old , is there any better cpu that will fit the same socket ??

The best one that will fit is the i7-3770 or i7-3770k which can be overclocked. It's not really worth it though just one gen improvement although the i7 has Hyperthreading. I don't usually upgrade one gen, for me it has to be several gens and I don't mind changing motherboards.

i think the 3770k is the best for that socket (lga1155) but for their price it's worth just biting the bullet and going for a Ryzen

I didn’t realise the 2500K was as flaky as that. I’m running an RX480 with a i7-4771 and I’ve been hard pressed to run anything @ 1080P and get less than 60fps. Guess that CPU must really bottleneck a 1070Ti then.

Which motherboard do you have? The Intel 3xxx CPUs will work in some motherboards but not others, and you'll need a Z77 motherboard if you want to overclock.

as i said, it's only really Monster Hunter World that I've really noticed poor fps and needing to turn down most options. Now, this could be poor optimization, but equally i think it's a v cpu heavy game and likes to use lots of cores, so it may well be signs of the future with more multithreaded games ported from consoles.
