Will it Bottleneck? Safe?

[Emski89]

Have an i5-8400 currently, and want to upgrade to RTX 2070 since I use a 1080p @ 144Hz monitor to achieve it, will it bottleneck? Or will I just go for RTX 2060?

 

Can't afford 1440p atm. But I am fond in FPS.

Uhh... Hi? 

 

Your current 1060 6gb should be able to do 1080p 144hz in eSports titles without breaking a sweat.  Should see some fps improvement in some more graphically intensive games with the 2070.

I wouldn't bother upgrading from a 1060 to 2060. Performance increase isn't worth the cost imo.

So you mean to say that I should go for 2070? Right?

sounds about right to me.

 

also, rule of thumb with upgrading within nvidia's product stack: always jump at least two "spots", with aa "spot" being either the same product in a newer generation, or a higher product within the same generation.

 

that said, at 1080p.. if you're having FPS issues with a GTX1060, turn down the bloaty eyecandy like cranking anti aliasing to the max.

 

also, @Emski89 the monitor listed in your signature is 60Hz?

Your setup should easily do more than 144fps in esports titles.

Well if you play any real games, that cpu won’t handle a 2070. 

 

Wouldnt expect much out of a 1060 either.
