GPU UPGRADE

[Mk5]

Hey I'm planning to upgrade my graphics frm gtx 970 to 1660ti.. Will there be a cpu bottleneck? If so which cpu shud u upgrade accordingly to the GPU?? 

Mainly for video editing (Adobe premiere n after effects) 

 

My pc specs

I7 6700 3.4ghz

32gb ram

Asus z170 Pro gaming

No, that CPU is perfectly fine for use with a 1660ti.

not a great option, its just like from 970 to 1070...

at least go for 2060 for better jump in performance

 

as for cpu, depend on what you do, shall be fine for most task. when time comes get ryzen 3000

I mainly need for video editing.. Adobe premiere and a bit of after effects.. Does 1660ti playsback 4k footage and can we edit? . Or 2060 better? 

 

Also if I were to get ryzen cpu, will nvidia GPU and amd CPU become an issue?

Of course the RTX 2070 will be by far better, but your CPU is kinda old and wont be able to catch up

I think you can find a cheap CPU in AMD, but let someone else make the suggestion as i am in the dark on the red team!

OK then.. I'll go with 2060..performance wise with my CPU(i7 6700), shudnt be an issue for now right?

Your 6700 shouldnt have any problems with the rtx 2060

Here's a couple of AMD options that're projected for Navi and the Ryzen 3 series, if you're interested in AMD hardware to get more bang for your buck (assuming they perform well in benchmarks):

I was jus checking and it says 24% bottleneck wid rtx 2060(yet to purchase).. Is it still ok to purchase the card wid my current processor?
