Will the 2080 Super bottleneck a 3770k

[meme123]

I have a 3770k overclocked to 4.4Ghz and I’m planning on getting a 2080 super when it comes out. 

 

 

Assuming that the leaked specs of the 2080 super are true. How badly will my 3770k be bottlenecked. I game at 1440p (monitor goes up to 165 hz) and 4K (60 hz). So will upgrading to a 2080 super impact gaming performance at these resolutions ????

Your CPU will be the bottleneck.

that's very challenging for a CPU that old.

Not one bit since what will be extremely bottlenecked is the RTX 2080 Super instead, your CPU is not really capable of extracting the maximum performance of the RTX 2080 Super as it is quite outdated specially for the latest AAA games, even at 4k you will suffer with bad 1% / 0.1% lows.

Above 120FPS older CPU's will show a rather significant difference vs newer ones.

 

At 4k you wont have to worry about it much unless ur playing much older games that can easily be run at high fps even at 4k.

 

For 1440p depending on the game u will be in a similar situation.

 

it depends on what ur after, if ur after a competitive advantage at super high FPS, then ur CPU will most certainly be in the way. if ur just looking for a high FPS smooth gaming experience you will be fine, it will be bottlenecked by the CPU, but it wont matter ull still have high FPS of over 100.

 

If you ever find ur playing a game where your GPU isnt be fully utilized you can always crank up the fidelity by using DSR.

 

I personally still use an old 3930k paired with a1080ti for 1080p gaming. I run DSR on any game that the GPU can handle running at 4k and maintain minimums above 60.Make no mistake even a 1080ti/2080/2070s can chug below 60 in intensive scenes on some games when running 4k max settings. At those frame rates the CPU makes much less difference.

 

As for how much the upgrade to a 2080S will affect u at those resolutions, that depends on what ur upgrading from. Regardless i would say ull still notice a difference, though how much i cant say.

Won’t handle many game at any reasonable res. Card should run real cool though.
