Bottlenecks anyone?

[RyanZ]

Hello LTT world.  Was hoping for some help.  I came across a decent deal on a i7 4790 system and was wondering how bad, if at all it would hinder a 2070 super @ 3440x1440 on a 120htz panel?  I can get a decent deal on both parts from a dude a work so...thinking of going this route now as I don't have a ton of time, then building later.

Not finding a lot of info on the subject out in the Wild.

 

Thanks

It's going to be fine. Of course a 9900k would be better, but that's not the point. The 4790 is a good cpu, the 2070s is a good gpu, you have a deal on them so go for it

I agree, it should be all fine

It will depend on the game but at 1440p ultrawide( max settings) , you will be GPU bottle necked in most cases.

Depends on the game with a locked cpu but must likely will be ok.

Thnks all.  I'll be trying it next week and follow up.

I'm kind of afraid of buying a 2070 Super since I use a very similar cpu: Xeon E3-1231v3, which is basically just an i7-4790 minus 200 MHz, minus the iGPU, and with ECC support. From what I have seen of games like AC Odyssey, RDR2, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider I'm expecting probably too much of a cpu bottleneck to lock to 60 fps, much less push 120 fps. Hell, I got a cpu bottleneck on the SOTR benchmark with this cpu paired with my GTX 970 at 1080p (never played the full game before my 970 died though).
