[Colin-ger]

at the moment a  msi 1080 ti is living in my computer  but the other parts in my computer are not up to date. Sooooo  i wanted to know from you guys.. how much my Hardware could slow down the high end gpu at the moment and what i should do upgrade first..   which Way would you go? 
CPU: i5-4690
Ram: 8 gb
Mainboard: gigabyte ga-h97-hd3

Upgrade basically everything. Locked i5 and a 1080Ti, there's bound to be some bottlenecking somewhere.

 

At this point, you'd be best off getting something like an Ryzen 5-1600 with a B350 board (or X370 if you want some higher-end motherboards that can do SLI). And new RAM, since what you have is DDR3 and new Ryzen/Intel boards/CPUs want DDR4.

If you're on 4K that i5 should actually be fine. At 1440p it might be a bottleneck sometimes

It really comes down to how many frames your card is getting. Higher fps requires more cpu horspower. For example, if you are using 1080p 144hz you want an i7.

Ryzen 1600 or higher, i7 47xxK or higher.

 

Honestly i think if you have a Z series board, a 4770K or 4790K is a great purchase for your use.

 

You can also get the i7 4771 which works on locked boards and will be a sizeable upgrade.

thanks for all your answers

If u go for a haswell i7, get an extra stick of identical 8gb of ram.

Just play your games, and monitor them with Afterburner.

 

Is your 1080 ti at 99-100% Usage?

Yes --> No problem.

 

No --> Do you have enough fps?

-------> Yes: no Problem

-------> No: Problem^^ Probably CPU bottleneck..

 

 

What Monitor do you have? 

What Games, at what settings?

at the moment only Full hd but most setting up to the max. for some games it works fine for some..  not so well.   oh and 60 hertz. No 4k or something else at the moment.  and tghe Gpu that was in my computer before was a msi 960 with more gb

[Darkseth]

A 1080 ti should be able to hit more than 60 fps in 1080p in pretty much all games, even maxed out.

 

If it's not, check the GPU usage, if it's at 100%. An i5 can bottleneck below 60 fps in some games in certain heavy load scenes.
