Have an older CPU?

We no longer sell older processors, but they belong in the table: they show whether a GPU swap is enough or the whole platform needs replacing. Send us your configuration for a free upgrade quote; old hardware counts as a trade-in.

Frequently asked questions

Which CPU is best for the RTX 4060 Ti?

From our range we recommend the Ryzen 5 5500 (5 % loss at 1080p, 146 FPS on average). For the last few percent: Ryzen 7 9850X3D (0 % loss at 1080p, 191 FPS on average). All of them are in our configurator and we build the PC for you.

Is a Ryzen 5 5600 enough for the RTX 4060 Ti?

At 1080p the Ryzen 5 5600 averages 156 FPS with the RTX 4060 Ti, 3 % less than the strongest CPU (ideal pair). At 1080p the gap is 3 %. In esports at medium settings (CS2, Valorant, Dota 2) the CPU matters more: 354 FPS on average versus 467 FPS with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D.

What resolution is the RTX 4060 Ti good for?

With maximum settings and no upscaling the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a 1080p card: with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D it averages 76 FPS in demanding games (Cyberpunk 2077, Kingdom Come 2, Battlefield 6…) and 467 FPS in esports. With DLSS/FSR you can go one resolution higher.

How many FPS does the RTX 4060 Ti get with the Ryzen 5 5500?

Without upscaling (demanding games at Ultra, esports at medium): CS2 1080p: 351 FPS, Fortnite 1080p: 71 FPS, Cyberpunk 2077 1080p: 84 FPS, Battlefield 6 1080p: 68 FPS, Kingdom Come 2 1080p: 84 FPS. These are the same numbers the “How many FPS?” calculator shows on every PC.

Does an older CPU like the Ryzen 5 3600 bottleneck the RTX 4060 Ti?

Yes, noticeably: at 1080p the Ryzen 5 3600 gives 9 % lower FPS than the strongest CPU (134 FPS on average; in esports at medium settings 6 %). Playable, but a newer CPU unlocks more – send us your configuration and we will quote the upgrade; the old parts count as a trade-in.

Decided? We will build it.

Every recommended CPU and GPU is in our configurator. We build in Olomouc, stress-test and deliver with a 36-month warranty. Your old PC or graphics card counts as a trade-in.
