Hi Guys,

I have one 4770k .4.5 overclocked and I was thinking to upgrade to new cpu./
Now I have one 780 gtx and one old monitor which ls lg flatron 27 size tn..

At 1440p will I have bottleneck if I will; buy one new 2080 ti card and one new gaming 27" WQHD 1440p IPS 165Hz monitor ;
The most games will have bottleneck with my 4770k;; and 27" WQHD 1440p IPS 165Hz monitor ; with one 2080 ti;
also the most games need 6 or 8 cores;';;

1440p isn't the main concern, but the 165Hz is where your 4770k will struggle. You should see if you can afford an i5 8600k or even an i7 8700k

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

The long answer is a long answer, so here's the short one:

Not really. Your performance improvement will be nominal, not worth what needs to be spent. Your money will be better invested in updating the 780 as it's at the point where it will struggle to run 1440p on high details smoothly.

As for the last part of your post, " also the most games need 6 or 8 cores;';; " iif I understand what your'e saying correctly, no. Most games still don't take full advantage of multiple cores.

Most games don't need 6-8 cores, 4 cores is fine for gaming, but most consumer cpus have 6+ cores now because it makes them available to content creators without spending >$1000 on a 6 core xeon EDIT: you definitely don't need a 2080ti even with a better cpu.  Save your money and get a 2080 or 1080ti and a 8700k or 8600k

Also it's an i7, 4c/8t. Should be able to keep any games that use 6-8 threads happy so long as you aren't running a bunch of stuff in the background or encoding a stream off the CPU.

Unless you really want to play every game at max settings I would say that upgrading right now isn't worth it yet. Your system is more than capable at 1080p, if a little old. But hey, if you really want to upgrade and get a 2080ti you might as well get a better CPU (like a 8600k or 8700k) so it keeps up with your GPU.

i am very confused  some  people told me  that  If you’re buying a 2080ti and/or want high refresh rates in mutiplayer games,the 4770k will present a bottleneck yes

 

and they  told me If you're getting a 2080TI then yes a new 6 or 8 core will necessary. 8700K or 9900K for the 2080TI.

 

do  you believe all these  things which they  told me.//??

It's not that the game needs 6 cores, most games are still quad-core dependent the thing is if you do have 6 cores then system and background stuff won't interfere on the game as much.

Sometimes a 4770k will Bottleneck, especially with new games coming out. They use more than 4 cores, so a 6 core can be very helpful. I think a good idea is to get the 2080 ti and if the performance gain is enough for you then you don't need a new CPU.

so  my  question is  At 1440p will I have bottleneck if I will; buy one new 2080 ti card and one new gaming 27" WQHD 1440p IPS 165Hz monitor ; will  i have  big bottleneck;;;

Just get the new monitor and a new GPU and you'll be fine...i'm using 4770K at 4.3ghz myself along with a GTX 1080ti that i run overclocked to 2000mhz core and 12500mhz memory (faster than any RTX 2080 at those settings) and in most games the GPU is the limiting factor...in SOME games like BF 5 multiplayer the CPU is holding me back by about 10 to 15% on some maps but then your cpu is overclocked more and if you need a new CPU/RAM/MOBO just upgrade that a bit later as there will be better stuff out by then and the performance and gaming experience you would get from a new graphics card and monitor is insanely more important for you right now.

Because there is a bottleneck but it's one you can probably live with until you're capable of doing a full upgrade.

Yes, your 4770K will bottleneck the 2080Ti at 1440P, 165Hz. Upgrade it to an 8th gen Intel 6 or 8 core CPU. End of story. You can stop asking 10 questions per minute now.

 

Also, No faster card than the 2080Ti exists. It is literally the fastest card in the world. What are you talking about.

 

If you are OK with playing at 60 fps on your 165Hz monitor, then the 4770K will not bottleneck you. Only if you want to hit high refresh rates.

also the most games need 6 or 8 cores;';;

You don't need to upgrade imo. I got an i5-4690K at 4.6GHZ and in 1440 High settings in COD BO4 I hit about 140FPS on average (well, before my RTX 2070 died). You will have some problems getting 165FPS in most games but you will probably be within 30 FPS from it. Also, a RTX 2080 TI is a bit overkill, a regular 2080 or 1080 TI would be perfect for you I think.

There are a few games where even 6-cores / 6-threads WILL have problems.

Gamer's Nexus 'Tech Jesus' did a recent review on the i5-9600K.

He does some comparison with the 6-core / 12-thread AMD Ryzen 2700, and 6-core / 12-thread i7-8700K.

https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3407-intel-i5-9600k-cpu-review-vs-2700-2600-8700k

 

As you can see, the 6-threads on the i5-9600K is experiencing stuttering in games like Far Cry 5, where 6-thread is not enough.

The AMD 2700 and i7-8700K both with 12-threads run much smoother.

Which you can see the i5-8600K and i5-9600K have MUCH lower 0.1% low FPS.

 

far-cry-5-frametime-plot.png

 

i5-9600k-review-far-cry-5_1440p.png

 

Assassin's Creed Origins does okay on both the i5-9600K and Ryzen 2700.

Frame times are smooth is little to no spikes.

 

He has results for 1080p and 1440p with Assassin's Creed Origin.

Good to NOTE even the GTX 2080Ti cannot maintain 165 FPS / 165 Hz in this game.

You will need a MORE powerful GPU for 165 Hz -- maybe TWO RTX 2080 Ti in SLI.

This is Assassin's Creed on MEDIUM settings, and NOT High / Ultra.
