Will an amd r9 390 bottleneck a i7 9700k?

 

Do you already own the 9700K? or 390? What's your monitor resolution/refresh rate?

Your CPU bottlenecks your max fps/refresh rate

your GPU bottlenecks your Resolution/quality settings.

 

That GPU is still fine for 1080p gaming, but if you're buying a GPU I'd just get a used RX 470/480/570/580 8GB

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

That's an overkill CPU for that graphics card. What is your performance target?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I have the r9 390 currently and am just looking to upgrade my cpu, do you think i would need to upgrade my gpu aswell if i go with the i7?  Or even the i5 9600k.  I want to play some of the newer fps games (Modern Warfare/BF5) at 100 ish fps or higher.  Im also really big into playing arma 3 and dayz, which are not the hardest titles to run.

Save the cash and get the 9600k and put it towards a better gpu, the 390 is a bit dated. you're not going to get 100 fps in MW/bf5 with it at max settings, if you lower it down to medium/high, you might be able to pull it off.

What's your current CPU? If you have to replace your motherboard anyways, it's a better idea to go for a Ryzen 5 3600 for a much lower price, and the same gaming performance once you enable PBO in the BIOS. (basically an automatic overclocking feature, 100% perfectly safe to use though) It's also much better for future gaming, as it's got significantly better multicore performance.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X with Arctic Liquid Freezer II 120mm AIO & push-pull Arctic P12 PWM fans RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 4x8GB 3600 16-16-16-30

PSU: Be Quiet! Pure Power 12 M 1000W GPU: ASRock RX 5700 XT Reference with Eiswolf GPX-Pro 240 AIO & 2x Arctic P12 PWM fans Case: Antec P5

Motherboard: ASRock X570M Pro4 Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VC Storage: HP EX950 1TB NVMe, Mushkin Pilot-E 1TB NVMe, 2x Constellation ES 2TB in RAID1
