Is i7 8700k compatible with a gtx 1050 ti ? Will my gpu bottleneck this cpu and how much or it doesnt matter and the performance will be equal to my old cpu i5 2500k or better ?

The 8700k is MASSIVELY overkill for a 1050 ti.

It will be a huge upgrade over the old 2500k.

[Hare+Guu!]

1050ti is way too weak to saturate a 2500k unless you start playing at 720p low settings. I'd just sell off that ti and use the 8700k money to buy a better gpu.

A CPU cant bottleneck a gpu. It can only happen the other way around. If you want to play Arma III or any other cpu intensive game it will be a much better performance. But better get a new graphics gard (for example a gtx 1060 ) with the money for the i7.

Ummm, no..

Double check your facts before you post please.

and what you call then all the situation where GPu load is about 60-70% while CPU load sits at 100% like many ppl here issue because they think upgrading GPu only would do the trick for ages.

Thanks i decided to change my processor because i cant stay forever with this relic and i prefer better cpu and a good overall gpu rather than crappy cpu and monster gpu it doesn’t make sense . I will not use the full potential of the 8700k but at least my performance will be inproved i belive without frame drops at 1080p . However i need to buy a new mobo too i think z370 can do the job or something a little bit more expensive i dont know my budget is around 700$ now . And i decided to go with 8th gen i7 becasue it will be future proof for a long time ar least 2 3 years .

CPU can bottleneck a GPU and vice versa. Its not a good idea to pair up a GT 1030 with a recent i7 or a GTX 1080 Ti with a AMD A6.

Its better to get a medium powered CPU/GPU then.

[DeMeNt666]

Yes

It is compatible, but it's not a good fit, if you know what I mean? The 1050Ti will most certainly be a bottleneck You need something beefier, like a 1070 or 1080. Yes, I am Nvidia biased.

The best solution would be a balanced system, such as a GTX1050Ti with a Ryzen R3 or a GTX1080Ti with an i7 8700K.

You also do not need to go with such a high-end CPU like 8700K it will never shine well if all you have is say, 8GB RAM + GTX 1050

An i5-8400 or 8600K would still be an extremely good strong CPU choice.
Either of these easily goes toe to toe with 7600K and 7700K; 8700K is well above anything offered on 7th Gen

Thanks for using your time to help me 🙂I decided to change my cpu and mobo and ram as well then i will replace my gpu with something upcoming. I will modify my pc with leds also 😏 for Christmas

I think I deserve it 😁

FPS per $ a gpu upgrade would pay off much better, even with the i5 2500k a GTX 1070 would boost the fps quite a bit.

I dont care about 300 fps i care about fps stabillity i dont want fps drops im completely ok with 60 fps i even turn vsync on on almost everything. Hell i didn’t realize ive played the evil within 2 with 45 fps it was so smooth high to ultra settings . On medium I could played it with 60 . But I think my cpu is old because on games like cs go dark souls when the enemies are alot my fps drops below 60 even if i play with above 80 most of the time. I cant play cs go zombie 64 player servers for some reason im experiencing below 20 fps . I forgot to mention i will use 8700k not only for gaming but for video streaming multitasking surfing. I believe it will be monster workstation setup . However it is true that gpu could increase fps alot but there is no game i cant run with my current gpu right now .
