bottleneck? Will it bottleneck

[hakamale]

Hi there

 

I am planning to upgrade from two 1080P 60Hz to two 1440P 144Hz

At the moment i have an i7-4790K at stock speeds

and a 770 NVIDIA card

 

I am planing on upgrading to an 2070super or even wait for the 3000 series (maybe September?)

But my main question is:

Is my CPU still good enough to run this?

Because if i look at bottleneck stuff online they say it is not good and i should upgrade it as well but on forums some people say it is more then enough.

 

could you be so kind to help me out?

thanks in advance!

It might bottleneck a bit at 1080 144 as it does lack ipc count and you might get bad frame time but at 1440p for the most part you'll be fine

These old processors are still impressively good, in some thread heavy games you might be bottlenecked but otherwise you will be fine, your cpu is similar to an i3 10100 or even an R3 3100

You could experience slight stuttering due to the 4 core nature of the cpu but nothing too bad, just if you want to stream use NVENC

i'm gonna stop you right there. do you plan on playing on both monitors at the same time? (having a big black frame bang in the middle where the crosshair should be) if not, you don't need two 1440p144hz monitors, you just need one (maybe look into ultrawides), and you can keep one of your current monitors as the secondary one.

I agree with this

Maybe something like a 21:9 monitor heck even a 31:9 they exist I'm not saying that it will be a good experience but for something like a super ultra wide you can go for that 

2 monitors getting them synced up will be a night mare

Thx all already for this crazy fast reply!

@boggy77 no i do plan to only game on 1. However i would like to have exactly the same screens just for the looks

If you mean 2 screens rendering one thing 

Then don't functionality is better than looks

most screens look the same. if you can, at least, get the second one from the same company (so that it looks the same), but 60hz or 75hz so you save some money.

@TofuHaroto no no i use two screens right now as the following:

1 screen to game

1 screen for discord, guides, excels for calculating stuff.

So only one screen is rendering the game

But i would like just for looks to have 2 screens looking the same because right now i do not have that and it is kind of itching my OCD

Oh my bad I misunderstood 

Then do what @boggy77 said 

Same company same looks and maybe save your money and get a 60 or a 75 for your secondary monitor

@TofuHaroto @boggy77

Thanks for the help and explaining!

will do that for sure

 

something else totally of topic do you think it is best to wait for 3000 series or upgrade now?

 

thanks again for all the help!

Simple

If you absolutely need a system rn go for it 

If you can wait then wait and if ampere was expensive / it didn't meat your expectations then you can get Turing for cheaper

@TofuHaroto plain and simple thanks!
