Will it be Bottlenecked?

[SpeedDemon10]

I am looking to upgrade my GPU to a ASUS 2080 OC Edition, will my system be heavily bottlenecked due to my CPU or RAM?

For reference I play FPS games such as Escape From Tarkov, Battlefield V, etc

 

Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q

 

MB: ASUS Maximus VI Formula

 

CPU: Intel i7 4770K + Corsair Hydro H100i (Clocked @ 4.2GHz)

 

RAM: Corsair CMY16GX3M2A1600C9 16GB (2x8GB) 1600MHz DDR3 x2

 

PSU: Corsair 860i Platinum

 

 

 

This guy insists the i7 4770K will not bottleneck a 2080 TI:

In theory then it will not bottleneck?

 

 

What are your thoughts?

[BetterThanLife]

Yes it will, but are you at maximum stable OC on that CPU?

@ around 4.8ghz it will be fine.

[SpeedDemon10]

No, 4.2GHz is not the maximum stable speed.

I think the max I will reach will be around 4.6/7GHz based on the video linked in the original post.

Depends a lot on the games you'll be playing. The 4770k is a very capable CPU but it can't do everything.

Ubisoft Creed titles and heavy CPU6-8 thread titles can have your CPU past 80% across many cores and can drop GPU usages.

I see it on my 4790k at 4.6Ghz and a GTX1070.

1080p Highest Settings are usually my target still and these are the settings I chase.

 

With lower settings and a higher FPS target, you might see it more often in such titles.

 

For the Most part,  well made games suffer none to way less on the CPU being 30-60% usages and ample left for 99%GPU.Its just the Heavy games are being more common to see with many game engines moving to 8thread awareness.

Again #NotallGames #AAA

 

I can so max out many games and have 99% GPU all day... But I've said it a few times now, it's not all games.

Yes, by a considerable amount. i have RTX 2070 and i pair it with 3770K even though i overclock it to 4.2Ghz the CPU will pinnned itself on 100% GPU never hit 90% in most game (No OC) like rainbow six siege. NMS. Just Cause. Witcher III and considering RTX 2070 is bottlenecked by 3770K the 2080 will surely get bottlenecked by 4770K not significant but in considerable amount
