Posted February 26, 2019 You will indeed be bottlenecked by your CPU, but that could as well happen with a i9 9900k at 5ghz. Just get the 1660ti or RTX2060 its a nice value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, an old quad core from 2013 is gonna hamper a new mid range graphics card a lot. The fastest gaming CPU ever? Not so much. I don't recommend such an imbalance of CPU and GPU horsepower, I'm not sure why you do. I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need?

Posted February 26, 2019 such a stupid word that people just throw around without understanding it. look, either of those cards will work fine for you and you'll probably be happy with the performance. could you eek a few more frames out with a better CPU? probably? will you care? unlikely.

Posted February 26, 2019 He may care if games stutter. Sometimes having the cpu pegged isn’t preferred.

I wouldn't pair anything faster than an RX 580 with that CPU. Even RX 580 may be bottlenecked in some more CPU bound games.
