valorant is a cpu-intense game, so upgrade your cpu is the way to go but you might have to upgrade your gpu soon enough, gtx is a bit outdated (not expired though)

its a cpu intensive game but youre going to have alot of bottleneck with that 1650 rather just upgrade the gpu and maybe upgrade the cpu later
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
yeah
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
it doesnt really use that much gpu if youre running on low settings
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago

i5 i7 what?
★
3mo ago
+ I am sure you'd be able to run other games better with 4060 instead of just focusing on improving valorant perfomance
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
i5
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
odd.. he said 11600kf on the topic
ClairvoyantGR

in the future you could play other games that'd give you better perfomance than a 1650
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
fr

jidat3mo ago
4060 ti when
★
3mo ago
if you were to play games like resident evil they'd run fine

ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
nah its overpriced in my country
jidat
jidat3mo ago
What site u using to check prices?
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
order oversea although the shipping fee might pull the gap, but at least the price would be lower than the one shown in europe

its a retail shop in greece
Kennet581

ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
fr
jidat
jidat3mo ago
Doesn't amazon work there?
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
my country sell that for like 100 euro less (malaysia btw)
jidat
jidat3mo ago
Its 341 pounds here That too for the 16 gig variant Thats just 8 gigs 8 gigs isn't gonna last u long in today's time
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
it works but i dont want ro take smth expensive from amazon idk
jidat
jidat3mo ago
Wdym?
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
fine, just give you a brief nutshell explaination if vram matter, go amd if features matter, nvidia
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
idc fr for vram
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
in your case you will need reflex for valorant and perhaps some ray tracing for other game so nvidia is the way to go
jidat
jidat3mo ago
4060ti from amazon is literally the only right choice here if u r gonna upgrade the cpu in the future
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
your budget is around 350 euro, that could almost get you a 4060 ti, but if you cant do overseas delivery, go for 4060 and if 4060 is still not enough, then 3070 thats basically it
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
bro i dont want to wait for like 2 weeks 😂

Kennet5813mo ago
then retail store pick up, ask the retailer if he has a spare 3070 sitting around, or some new stock 4060 and youre all set my guy :)
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
yep
jidat
jidat3mo ago
Why do u want it so desperately lol
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
he tryna escape that gtx instead of escaping the elo xd
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
Ahhahahha Plat 2 😦 max bad mentality sometimes
jidat
jidat3mo ago
Imo a gtx 1650 and an 11th gen i5 is MORE than enough for val
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
oh and btw, if you're also considering to upgrade the cpu, 7500F yea mine is just an intel cpu with HD graphics
jidat
jidat3mo ago
That should be getting u like 190 fps ATLEAST Same What cpu?
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago

jidat
jidat3mo ago
It will require a new motherboard btw
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
and new ram
jidat
jidat3mo ago
Yep
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
but trust me, you dont have to consider upgrading your pc again, not until 5 years later
jidat
jidat3mo ago

my pc is I5 11600KF 1650 Super from my old 2018 PC 16GB Ram and a Z590 MB
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
seemed cool you can sell your 1650 super for extra money then go for 4070 super
jidat
jidat3mo ago
Get a cpu before the 4070 super ofc
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
yea sell that 1650 super for like 100 or 120 bucks, just as high as you can but dont overprice use the extra money for cpu, or all on gpu if you want
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
yeah but to take new cpu i need mobo ram etc
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
probably enough budget
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
maybe should i take 4060 first and after i would take a AM5 Cpu
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
either way, youll get a big jump in performance go for gpu first
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
yeah is this 4060 for 339 euro okay? if i upgrade to this gpu will i see some perfomance increase in Val? i dont want to upgrade gpu just for val to clarify
Kennet581
Kennet5813mo ago
not really but generally, the performance should increase in most games that're graphic demanding if youre pretty dedicated to esports, upgrade your cpu nothing could go wrong with upgrading either of the options
ClairvoyantGR
ClairvoyantGROP3mo ago
So GPU first and after the cpu? not just for valo in general beside for valorant what should i upgrade first?

gpu obviously cpu later since you still have a cpu that works just fine and wont get huge botleneck
