Is 5060ti good with r5 5500
Posted by who3funkit@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 16 comments
I’m think about upgrading from my 1650 to a 5060ti 16gb and am wondering if my ryzen 5 5500 will be able to handle it or am I bottlenecking my machine? (I’ll also be upgrading my psi from 500w to 650w because that’s what the minimum it says from the store I’ll be buying from says)

You would do well with a CPU upgrade, the 5500 performs like a 3600 but also only with PCI-E 3.0. If you can get a 5700X3D for a reasonable price I'd go for that - or just use the 5500 for now and plan for an AM5 upgrade in the near future.
It will definitely be faster than your 1650 in every conceivable situation.

So if I were to upgrade to the 5700x3d would I need to upgrade anything else? Ram, mobo, etc? Also would I need to reinstall windows 11? Sorry im newer to pcs and am wanting to start streaming

Nothing just plug and play

I’m assuming for the am5 upgrade I’ll need a new mobo cause the 5500 is am4 and 5700x3d would cost me $460nzd and they’re out of stock pretty much everywhere

And RAM; you'd need an AM5 motherboard and DDR5 RAM.

Might need to hold off on the am5 upgrade for a wee while then😭

I strongly recommend against buying a RTX 5060 TI. Not only is a pretty disappointing GPU, NVIDIA is also a very scummy company. I'd instead recommend you to look for an Arc 580 or a 7800XT or 9060 XT (but wait for independent reviews for that one and only buy the 16 GN version, if you chose that one). All of them are cheaper or similarly priced, but better (besides the Arc 580, which is slightly worse).
And before I get downvoted again for recommending against buying NVIDIA, here's a list of things NVIDIA did this year alone:
Some of these things are downright illegal. Naturally, it's up to to decide, if you want to support that or not.

I have bought a 9070XT about a month ago. I did run into a lot of issues originally (games crashing, driver timeouts, etc), but I have spent some time trying various things and I've found the reasons for my issues:
My chipset drivers and BIOS weren't up to date. Updating them already fixed 99.9% of crashes I was experiencing. However, not all of them, as I later found out.
Apparently, the NVIDIA driver wasn't cleanly uninstalled (despite using DDU in safe mode), interfering with the AMD driver and causing driver timeouts.
AMD doesn't seem to like HAGS. That's not really news, but still something I found out first hand, when Hitman III regularly crashed.
Since fixing these issues, I've not had any other problems. Which is actually better than my old 4070 Super, which caused me not only more headaches, but also had some problems I couldn't really fix and thus had to apply annoying workarounds for some of them and just live with others.

Yea I’m not a huge nvidia fan but the 9070 price here are even more absurd costing $1.5k if u can even find one

It is perfect for gaming at 4k for ultra settings for a large amount of games. Cyberpunk 2077, doom the dark ages are harder to run at ultra settings with path tracing. It can be done with ultra performance mode, but looks kind of ugly.

It may bottleneck your ryzen 5 5500, i recommend upgrading your cpu as well go for like ryzen 7 5700x

They’re about $240 on Amazon in nz and the 5060ti is already rinsing me about 1.1k with the new psu but it’s work out cheaper than the whole am5 upgrade where I’d need to basically start from scratch
Efficient_Lab319@reddit
1.1k jesus man u can get them for like 400
who3funkit@reddit (OP)
NZD prices so it’s like double and a bit USD 99% of the time

same boat, im currently on a 2060 with 5500 and purchased a 5060 ti 8gb from pbtech (i wanted to return it so i could get the 16gb model but they charge a restocking fee), so theyre sending it back.
when i used it, i could definitely notice some bottleneck from the 5500, but its still pretty decent until you upgrade, still marginally better than the 2060 i was using
