Will a Core I7-6700K 4.00 GHz bottleneck a 1050ti? (yes or no)

[choon]

I was wondering about getting a new CPU, and so then I remembered about my graphics card, so now I'm wondering if the new CPU I'm looking to get will bottleneck my 1050ti

Not even close, you could rock a 1080 ti with no issues.

Not even close and a 1080 ti would run fine are both big no's to any sort of bottleneck.

[DefinitelyNotMonk]

No it won't be an issue.
Are you looking to buy the 6700k and 1050ti?
If so, is the CPU an upgrade going into a z170 motherboard you already own ?

[SoldierScar]

No the 1050 ti will be the bottleneck
Getting such powerful cpu for a gpu like this is a waste
What is your current cpu?

[Baosas]

The opposite will be true; it's your GPU that'll be the weak link.

[Scales III]

no

no

The only smart answer.

Answer: No it won't bottleneck your GTX 1050ti.

The GTX 1080 Ti is > > > > > > > > > > > better than the GTX 1050 Ti, as in the 1080Ti is 300% more better than your GTX 1050 Ti, if that wasn't clear enough.

This thread is great.

Let's make it great.

I think it depends what CPU you have now. That i7 is a overkill for a 1050 Ti, since that CPU is high-end and the 1050 Ti is a lower mid-class.

i7 is usually paired up with a 1070/1080. Going for a weaker as a 1060 doesnt gives any sense by scuh a CPU.

The i7 6700k is a perfect pair with the 1060 6gb, its what i have.

I meant it that going for something weaker as a 1060 isn't recommended. Its better then to get a better i5 instead a i7 and put the rest of the cash into a 6GB 1060 or higher.

Of course if somebody has a great deal for such a CPU, then he can go for it and simply switch the GPU later.

The 1060 is slightly more powerful than a 970, its very capable. The i7 6700k is a mid-high end 4 core processor and fits quite well with the 1060, especially since i use photoshop and premiere too.

I also use Photoshop primarily on this PC before games, so I went for Ryzen 1600. The 8th gen Intel wasn't arround that time. Didn't wanted go 6-7th gen Intel, due the socket not being supported anymore.
The many cores might be also benefitting later when 6-8 core CPUs becomes more common. Appareantly newer games optimized for many cores like Battlefield 1 run extremly well on those.

I7-6700k beats R5 and R7 OC to 4.1Ghz so nope.

Assassin's Creed Origins maybe, or Ashes of Singularity. But no mainstream AAA games utilises more cores, especially for AMD.

Skylake/Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake are all the same.
