When playing at higher than 1080p the gpu is getting more load than cpu. So it probably would not bottleneck ssince you have decent oc on your cpu. 

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Well no it will not bottleneck your CPU...

Your CPU will bottleneck your GPU though, so if you upgraded your CPU you would get better performance.

The 1080 should still perform better than the 1060, just not as much as it could.

Good day,

Why a 1080 in 2019? Was it at least cheap?

Your CPU is fine for 60hz displays, probably just wait for Ryzen 4000 next year before upgrading.

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

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

I've bought it for 200 euro, so thats a pretty nice price. im not looking for the best FPS, just enough to reach that 60fps mark!

 

I am indeed looking to upgrade my MB and CPU to ryzen next year! thanks for the tip

what is with the scourge of people trying to buy massively overpriced 1080tis that were designed years and years ago

STOP IT, JUST STOP

a 2080 Super will cost less and kick its ass if you have to spend this money, your CPU will be okay for awhile, not best but okay, i wouldn't worry about bottleneck so much as why you are researching old ass overpriced graphics cards

o ok sorry, damn just got PTSD from earlier today.  Yeah it should do good job

i would love to see that forum, you might wanna link it?

 

I get what you mean, i always reccomend newer hardware over older. but this was just a deal i could not resist. ( i sold the 1060 3g for 120 euro so i got the new card for just 80 euro's extra)
