How much of a bottleneck will this be?

[Tech Reprise]

How much of a bottleneck will a 2400g cause to a 1070?

2400g has 12 pcie lanes divided into 8+4 so gpu gets pcie 3.0 x8.

My frames didn't increase much from 1060 3gb to 1070 8gb but its atleast stable now and doesn't drop.

If you know anything about PCIe lanes, you know what you just said has no relevance at all.  

 

The 2400 isn't the best CPU to pair with a 1070.  Need a bit more info like what games, resolution, etc.

 

She's technically correct, so her post isn't simply just emo meanness.  You need to give us more information.

What games, quality settings, monitor resolution & refresh rate?    Need to know these to know if you really should be putting a Ryzen 5 3600 in there instead or if that quad-core will be ok enough.

Depends on games.

 

But generally, it should be mostly okay.

Games: SOTTR, PUBG Pc, RDR2, GTA V, R6 Seige, BFV/1, Apex Legends, MW 2019

Res: 1080p

Refresh Rate: 75hz

Quality: Medium on Sottr, Rdr2 and high on the rest. 

 

About the pcie lanes, someone from a different renowned forum told me that the lesser the pcie lanes for the 1070 the slower it will be. A 1070 on x16 will be bit more faster than the same 1070 on x8, no idea what he meant by that.

PCIe 3.0 x8 is only affecting the 2080Ti which uses slightly over the x8 bandwidth.  The 1070 won't even come close to even seeing the x8 limitation let alone being bothered by it.

Since you're at 75Hz it should be fine for now unless you're seeing major FPS dips (that aren't normal for the GPU at those settings).  If you were trying to push 144Hz at 1080p I would say the current CPU would be more likely to hold you back as high FPS 1080p does expose more CPU bottleneck.

 

At the end of the day, if you get the opportunity to flip that CPU and change it for at least a Ryzen 5 2600 or 3600 do it (like via Craigslist, eBay, a friend, etc).  Otherwise don't worry about it for now.

FPS is more or less stable. I saw major dips on the 1060 3gb but not on this one.

If you like how it games, than enjoy your GTX 1070 upgrade  

 

At some point down the road, maybe you'll change CPU, or maybe the GPU will move into a newer build.  But for now, if it doesn't look broken, no point in trying to fix it, right?

Hey, one more thing. Do I need to completely reinstall the Drivers, when I installed the 1070 nvidia control panel detected it though.

Usually it's good to DDU whenever you change GPUs, but it'd the same family/generation. I think the driver is the mostly the same.wont hurt to do it anyway though.

Likely the biggest benefit will just be installing the newest drivers fresh and it'll detect the 1070 and be all set.
