Hey all,

I've been thinking about upgrading the pc I built back in 2016 with a new GPU (an EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER XC Ultra Gaming) and I'm hoping I could get some feedback on potential bottlenecking that would keep me from getting the best performance while gaming! It's currently running:

 

i5-6600K cpu
ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING LGA 1151 mobo, and
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 ram

Any thoughts would be appreciated! If I need to buy new hardware to get the most out of the 2080 super, that'd be fine. I'd just like to see if there's upgrade potential in my rig first, though 1f642.png:) 

 

THANK YOU

2080 Super, the third 1080ti from Nvidia

 

price to performance ratio tilts to the bad side starting from the 2080, I'd keep down to the 2070S and wait for next gen cards.

Z390 boards dont work with 6th or 7th gen CPUs, despite sharing the socket pin count. how did you get it to work?

Hey thanks for pointing out the motherboard incompatibility - I ordered a Z390 board a while back and thought that was what's in my PC but I just double checked, and it's an ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING LGA 1151. The ram is only 2666 :)

I would say ur gonna have some decent bottlenecking in new games bro 

4/4 cpu is gonna chug for big open world stuff like rd2 or asslickers creed games

 

depends on what games your playing 

put ur cpu will be pegged at 100 percent a lot of the time 

 

what res are you going to be playing g at 

-14900kf

- 4000 32gb ram 

-4070ti super duper

9600k + Z390 board or R5 3600 + MSI B450 ATX board at the very least then, maybe 9700k or 3700x.
