I7 9700k & GTX1060 6GB lag?

[bastard player]

Hey, can you help me by some pc problems? Im thinking about getting a i7 9700k and i‘ve a gtx 1060 6gb gddr5 , 16 gigs ddr4 ram and my question is if it will work good #bottleneck ?
Will it work good together or will i get some Performance problems (lags, stutter etc.)

I don't think you'll have lags. But,a better graphics card to upgrade to ti or 1080, though 1080 . So-what is best in fps news . By the way RAM, all is well,I don't think you need something. My final answer is no Lag.

why do people buy good cpu and the worst gpu?

The gpu isn't the worst. But obviously the cpu is completely overkill for the gpu and OP should either buy a less strong CPU or upgrade his gpu also.

so its pointless to keep the gpu ye?
And if i keep it then it wont work good?

It depends on what you gonna do. Some programs / games use CPU more and some GPU and it also depends on how much things you do at the same time.

A good cpu is never a bad decision and for CSGO I'd say that a good CPU is more important than a good GPU. I don't know your situation, how much money you've etc. I've the 1060 6 GB too (as a Jetstream Version) and it's pretty good. So if you really wanna buy a better CPU (because of your current weak CPU?) you should test it out first if it works good or not. IF there are problems you should sell the GPU and buy a new one (10180ti or something like that depending on your budget).

Yeap ive a weak cpu i5 4440 and i really wanted to buy one cpu now for 4-5 years ( like not buy a new cpu in the future) and ye thats why i wanted that overkill cpu and that medium/bad gpu because i dont feel its worth upgrading the gpu,
But i would do

Which one should i get?

I just wanna play games like csgo, tomb raider the new one, crysis, bf5, dayz/arma3, pubg etc

I've a i5 4690k so I know how you feel. The cpu you wanna buy is a good one a definately something for the future.

I don't know how much your budged is with gpus... maybe this one is the best for you?

(just kdiding)

If your budged is high I'd buy a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. When you budged isn't high enough I'd buy a Geforce RTX 2070 or GeForce RTX 2080. With those you don't need to spend something in the next years. You can obviously go for a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti too.

Basically the only question is: How high is your budged? The higher the budged, the more you can pay. Basically it's just a price/performance question.

I like my GForece GTX 1060 6 GB JetStream. So you should first buy the CPU and check how the performance is. For example when I play the newest tomb raider on highest settings I've most likely 50-60 fps (60 is max in that game I guess) and the reason why the fps isn't on 60 all the time is the cpu, not the gpu. The gpu should be good enough for those games. So just don't buy it blind without testing if your system is good enough when you only buy a cpu.

Maybe people use their computers for other things than just video games. Just a wild guess.

There are also games which needs good cpus while gpus don't really matter like World of Warcraft.

Definitely, with all logs enabled in Recount you can bet your bottom dollar it's the i7-9700K that's going to be the bottleneck. Many RTS titles are also particularly CPU intensive.

True. So it does make sense to have a higher cpu. Most good gpus (like the one from OP) are good enough for basically every game. CPU are more likely the issue.

I just got the i5 4690k from a friend with a mainboard and 16 gb ram for just 100 euro. It's worth 300 euro so a VERY good deal for me. I had a amd phenom x6 before so it was also a good upgrade. If my friend wouldn't give me that good offer I'd buy a more expensive and stronger cpu aswell but the one I've is also good enough. It could be better but I can play cs and wow with high framerate and even can play newer games with full settings so it's okay. I don't have a 4k monitor and I don't have a 244 hz monitor so it's enough what I've. For example in PES 2019 I've everything on high and while playing always 144 fps (just get to 120 while playing a video). So it's good.

Ray buddy can i add you?

The thing is my budget isnt that high, because i already spent that much money on my new „PC“
Which is now:
I7 9700k
Nvidia gtx 1060 6gb amp! Zotac
16gb corsair ddr4 3000mhz
250gb ssd samsung evo
Asus rog z390 f-gaming
700w bequiet pure power 11
Phanteks eklips case
1tb seagate barracuda

144hz benq 1ms 1080p
Steelseries rival
Ttesports poseidon z keyboard
Logitech soundbox (random)

The thing is my gpu is now 7 months old, due to my old broken gpu after using it for 3 years (r9 280) i got that new gtx1060 6gb ddr5 from zotac for a good sale price for 245€..

Now my cpu is trash, because it limits my fps in good games like gta5, tomb raider the newest one, crysis , bf5, far cry primal, dayz and arma3..

Now i ordered that new cpu yesterday on sale for 400€ and i hope my pc will work well, but after i heard about bottleneck i worried about my wrong purchase, because i like to play games on high/ultra settings with good fps 60+, and my old i5 was trash..

Now the question, should i just give the new cpu a try and then look for the fps and if they are not good, get a new gpu?
But which? I dont have a lot of money for the new gpu but i dont wanna wasted 1200€ on a new cpu, ram, hdd, ssd, case, psu, cooler, mobo for nothing and the same fps..

The Pc spec looks very great! And yes. I'd stick with it. Test the cpu. Bottleneck doesn't always mean that your fps drops or that it lags, it just means that your gpu limits the potential of your CPU. The cpu could work faster but he can't because of the gpu. This case can happen when the gpu will come to his limit and while obviously the cpu could possibly be faster.

I'm pretty sure that you can play all those games pretty well with the new cpu and without a new gpu. And when you're not happy with it you can do one of those:
- Give the cpu back and you can buy a slightly worse cpu (for like 300 euro), then you sell the gpu and buy a slight upgrade for it (like a 1080).
- Just sell the gpu and buy a slightly better gpu.

But I'd stick with the cpu because it's an investment in the future (when you can say that when it comes to PCs...). And when you've more money in the future upgrade your gpu.

Btw. I'm not online in steam actually, just in the forum.
