Wondering if a 1660 ti will work with my i7 3770.

Oh okay. Good luck!

Here is the bottleneck results -

I cant see the 1660 on that website where is it located ?

3570k with a 1070 here. 

You will experience bottlenecks. But a little overclock solves it in most cases. 

You'll be fine. 

Hm okay

[RasmusDC]

Why .. seriously..

 

the 1660ti is fine, it is a 1070.. my 1080ti runs today on my 8700k, but had a 4970k and it took the place of my 3570k as a server, a 4core no HT cpu, that 3570k stock clocks ran fine with my 1080ti,..

 

buy the card, run it, if you feel GPU is running 50-70% then you might need a upgrade down the line. for me BF1 at the time, was the one not using the 1080TI to it´s full capacity, but that card is way faster than the 1660ti, i actually think that it is a good pairing, even a 2600-2700k would suffice.

Can you see the bottleneck of what it would be with a i7 3770 for me please ?

I actually did it for u a while back when we started this. It was 20% bottleneck, anything above 10% is considered to be major BN.

Yikes. I mean i feel like it will be fine for the time being. It'll definately run better than my 1050ti for now.

Yeah, you'll only notice something when u play in above medium settings but overall, it'll be fine.

What is your current mainboard btw?

[Manderis]

The 3770 is the non k so no overclock. 

It actually depends on the games you play and at what resolution. The higher the resolution is getting the likelihood of a cpu bottleneck is reduced. 

But a 3770 and a 1660 ti is still a healthy combo. You might outbreak the gpu a bit but not by too much.

apex legends and csgo and division 2 is what i mainly play at 1080

Don't use the crappy bottleneck calculators, they are useless.

Run CPUZ to identify the board. As for bottleneck, really depends on the games you play, whether more CPU or GPU intensive. What's your gaming resolution like? I have a slightly newer CPU compared to you, a 4770K (fortunately a 'K' model) on an ASRock Z87 mobo + a VEGA II, and I'm not concerned about bottleneck as I push my GPU more @3840x1080, max or near max ingame setting.

ive ran cpuz and it seems to be blank there aswell but ill try to run it again and ill screenshot it for you

I originally bought ibuypower but upgraded like 4 years ago to a new motherboard and such.

Ahh... B75 chipset. Not overclockable + it use 1333mhz RAM? I can help you test how much it will bottleneck with my 980 Ti.

Sure how will you do that ?

[TeaDrinkingMaximus]

Ryzen will be a bit of a side grade unless you go with a faster card. Ryzen 3 is where you will get more for your money.

3770 supports 1600mhz out of the box and can handle 2133 - 2400mhz DDR3.

I don't know why people are being like that, but your i7 3770 is totally fine for now, I can only assume you are running 1080p settings at very high, but going on a budget makes me wonder if you have a 144hz display

If not, don't worry because that's totally fine and you will reach 60 fps in all games; if yes, maybe there are a few games that won't run 144fps but instead 120fps, it's totally fine btw

I'd say save for a Ryzen 3000, 2x8GB DDR4 RAM and a new motherboard (B550?)

C'mon, people, don't be like that, OP isn't aiming for 400 fps in every game, the bottleneck isn't that much (if it were with the games he plays)

I do have 144hz

Yeah, this move to Ryzen is not cost effective at all when the 3770 will do a fine job with that card.

Ryzen 2600 is merely 25% faster than the 3770.

Cheapest upgrade is a 3770K with 2400mhz DDR3, he will close the gap to around 10-15% with an OC.

However the OP is on a non overclockable chipset?

On multi-core the Ryzen 5 2600 seems to be a bit faster. But yeah, the 3770 should work just fine with the 1660 Ti.
