2080 Ti with i5-4670K

[Gamer Schnitzel]

Would a i5-4670K bottleneck a 2080 Ti?

 

Would it damage the card to run with this CPU or will it simply give you less performance with no consequences or damage to the card?

Way less performance. Especially at 1080 or 1440p.

Yes.

You'll get less performance out of the card to the point it wouldn't matter if you had bought a significantly cheaper card like the RTX 2070 Super

Yes! but it doesn't mean you wont enjoy the beast 2080Ti

The CPU is quite old (2013), maybe he have future plans to upgrade.

Isn’t always enjoyable. Lots of lag isn’t fun. 

 

Just keep the expectations low and you’ll be fine until you upgrade.

As someone that had an rx 480 with a 4690k @ 4.4Ghz, don't be an idiot and don't combine those.

You will get AWFUL performance, like my rig couldn't even max out the rx 480.

 

It will work but expect RX 480 performance because that's the max the CPU can feed.

What? How’s that even possible?? I’m using older cpu (i5 3570k @4.5) and gtx 970 (nearly identical performance as rx480) and they working perfectly together so how’s your system not utilising that gpu

It worked fine, but the bottleneck was the CPU in new AAA games which would only get worse as time goes on.

My CPU was at a solid 100% all the time while my RX 480 was between 80-100%.

Also because it was maxed out the fps dips were afwul even with my 144Hz freesync monitor.

 

I have a 2700x now and the rx 480 gets maxed out just fine now and not only did my average FPS increase (not a lot tho, but enough that I notice it), the awful fps dips are basically gone as well.

I would still contend that a 2080 ti on a older processor would still outperform a 2070 on that same processor. I mean it probably isn't worth the $600+ additional investment for the 2080 ti if your processor is that old, especially since that $600 would buy you a significant CPU+MB upgrade, but you should still seem some performance gain when using the 2080 ti.
