GPU Bottleneck

[Spartan767]

I need help on a good budget card to upgrade to either nvidia or amd. I have a GTX 970 currently and its limiting my system is games. My specs are:

i7 6700

8gb corsair vengeance lpx ram dual channel

128 gb m.2 ssd

2 500gb hdd

rosewill 650 watt 80+ bronze psu

or u can also recommend d best paring card even if its not budget that will just mean il have to save longer to get it.

For a i7 6700 go with a GTX 1080 used or a RTX 2070 new. 

 

My i7 6700k(not overclocked) ran a GTX 980ti(later SLI) GTX 1080 and a GTX 1080 ti. The 1080 ti had bottlenecking at 1080p and 1440p so I upgraded to a i7 8086k. 

 

Bottlenecking really isn't a big deal because you are going to experience it no matter what you have at some point.

I upgrade one component at a time so I run into bottlenecking a lot but if I don't have the money to upgrade I just live with it until I do.  

 

Also it is your monitor choice that dictates if you bottleneck. My i7 8086k/RTX 2080 ti does not have an issue at 4k 60hz but at 1440p 144hz the RTX 2080 ti is the bottleneck and there is not much I can do about that.

yeah... i wouldn't trust either cards with that one... recommended to swap it while you're at it

AMD Relive? 

[Fasauceome]

a GTX 1070, 980 ti, or Vega 56 would be pretty good, or for less, an R9 fury is a pretty good upgrade. They all go for good prices on eBay.

No. Only the GTX 1080 ti bottlenecked the i7 6700k.

How lol, how did a gpu bottle neck a cpu? when its normally the other way around, especially at 1080p, can you explain how you found this out?

They wrote it wrong I believe, pretty sure they meant the 6700k bottlenecked the 1080ti hence why they switched to the 8086K.

an un-overclocked one at that, i've yet to see maxed out cpu usage with my 980ti, the 6700k is overclocked to 4.7ghz and paired with 3200mhz ram, uncore is 4.5ghz and system agent clock is 1000mhz also. Starting to sound like all the gear no idea...
