New processor enough?

[David_2716]

I'm thinking of buying a new processor for my amd motherboard I was thinking of the ryzen 7 1700 and was just wondering if this was enough to run with my 1070ti or should I just upgrade my current ryzen 5 to a better model. Because as of now I have a ryzen 5 1400 and it's definetly bottlenecking my gpu. Also when I do buy my new processor is there anything I need to do before or after installing it like drivers etc. Thanks for any input.

the 1070 ti has no cpu requirement so any cpu is "enough to run with it"

what motherboard do you have? , nowadays ryzen 2600 seems to be the best price-performance and if you have a good mobo you just need to update bios.

That's not really helpful.

@OP If you're being bottlenecked with your R5 1400 then any 6-core Ryzen CPU should suffice.

What games, what resolution/settings, and what's your target performance? A cursory glance at reviews of the 1400 show it can get 60 FPS at 1080p in most cases and the performance boost you'll get going to say a 1700 is like ~10%, which I don't think is worthwhile.

Besides that's not accurate either inb4 OP buys a mobile CPU off ebay.

 

To answer OP, for gaming systems the best value with a 1070 Ti right now is usually the Ryzen 5 2600.
