i7 9700k with 1060 6gb. How much will it bottleneck?

[joji]

As the title says. I'm wondering how much will the gpu bottleneck my new cpu that I will be installing later on today. I will upgrade my gpu anyways by march so I'm just trying to hold on to my 1060 with the 9700k for at least this month

I don't get why people keep asking such question. 9700K is beefy enough for any gpu on the consumer market, period.

For 1080p in most games a 1060 6gb should be fine. However it is showing it's age and some games will require lowering some visual setting to get a decent stable fps average, such as GTAV or RDR2 for example.

A gpu doesn't hold back a cpu. A cpu will perform to its fullest if the app is designed to take advantage of it. Gaming however would be help back to a certain degree by your gpu due to its limited performance in today's more demanding games.

Get ssds, one for os+apps and one for games. This helps a bit. So does having at least 2x 8gb ddr4 3200

So are you saying I can keep my 1060 6gb for a while with my 9700k until I can buy a new gpu? No technical issues or whatsoever? Just limitations

It's fine.

No issues. You might have to sometimes decrease some settings to get more FPS and that's it.

What about games like pubg, csgo, league of legends, dota 2, and any other AAA titles from early years? Will I be able to play them with high settings?

The games you mentioned are not AAA. they are e-sports titles. And e-sports games are made to be able to run on as many PCs as possible, so you will have absolutely no issues running the ones you mentioned on high settings.

I see you have Witcher 3 and Doom that is a concern with a bottleneck in GPU. I would recommend RTX 2060 Super.

What? It'll be fine at 1080p.

This 144 Hz monitor? I don't think so. It will still keep Doom and Witcher under 50 to 80 FPS due to GTX 1060. They can have FPS dipping too, I have seen it a lot on my PC.

Can you elaborate what you mean by bottleneck like what does it do exactly? Do i get less fps than what I'm getting right now on my current rig?

No, there is no bottleneck. People dont know what bottleneck is, and you will get a little bit more min and avg fps depends on game and what cpu you had before.

I never said it will bottleneck.

With the i7-9700 rig, you should see a good performance for most AAA games. E-sport games like CS:GO is no concern of performance since they are made for most PC. Doom and Witcher 3 can have FPS rate dipping on GTX 1060. I have Doom, and I sometimes see FPS dipping on my GTX 680 on my i9-9900K rig.

I never had fps dipping with my witcher 3 and doom game on my current rig. Wonder why I will have fps dipping with my upcoming upgrade

It can drop to 40 to 45 FPS if it were larger forest or exploded with GTX 1060.

As I arleady sad you will see no negative affect. Sure the CPU may not be utilised fully compared to what it could be (Depending on games/res and settings) with that GPU but you won't have worse performance than you had with that GPU and your previous CPU. If anything you'll likely see some improvement in games. Nothing to worry about.

Only thing i see wrong with that setup is having 8GB RAM, 16GB is pretty much the standard nowadays.

When you upgrade your GPU dont go for less than a 2060 Super or whatever AMD's equiv is.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yes, a 9700K should easily last until games start needing more then a 4/6 core cpu, not an issue. Anyone with a 9700K, 9900K, 9900KS should be fine til like 2023-2025. Just upgrade gpu over time as your needs or game demands get higher.

60-80 FPS is fine on a 144hz monitor so long as you have good frame pacing, if not it's going to look more of a stuttery mess than 30 fps on a 60hz monitor.

You don't need every setting maxed for the game to look good.
Hairworks? Not really needed.
Shadows? Doesn't need to be high either.
That there just gave you a large FPS boost.
And the game doesn't look that much worse, if at all.

Strange to pair a 680 with an i9-9900k, but aight'.

They're amazingly optimised, I don't think I've seen them drop (enough to notice) before either.
Your FPS won't start magically dropping if it didn't before, if anything you'll get a slight FPS boost.

I have i7-3770 for 7 years until I need a new CPU for Deus Ex and Doom.

If there is a larger forest, it will drop to 40 fps to 45 fps. Also, GTX 680 is what I have right now when I built a new PC.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Anything below a gtx 780 right now for most games is complete trash.

GTX 680 plays pretty well for DOOM, but Deus Ex mankind is okay. I'm on a 1080p monitor. Crisis 2 too. Plus, it is all I have right now while im slow-building my new PC.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Better to just save up and do a whole new build. Such as...

Ryzen 3600
MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
2x 8gb ddr4 3200
Gtx 1660 Super or better
550W-650W gold certified modular PSU
At least one SSD
Win10 64bit 1909 or later via your own usb flash drive, made via MS media creation tool.
