Yesterday I asked if a i5 7400 would bottleneck a rtx 2070 and most of the replies were pretty much the same saying that it would, but not by a major amount. My question now is would my pc perform better with the rtx 2070 and the i5 or a gtx 1060 3gb plus the i5. I don't know a lot about PCs and want to know if that bottleneck on the rtx will hold it back to my current card. Thanks!

the 2070 wold perform a bit better

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

can you elaborate on how much better, would it be a significant difference or something like a few fps in a game like bf5?

Bottlenecking simply means that one component holds back the performance of another. It does not change the relative performance between different models of the same component. An RTX 2070 will never perform worse than a GTX 1060. It would take a major cpu bottleneck to even bring its performance down to the same level.

 

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Ok, thank you! This was the perfect answer :)
