gpu upgrade

[Hamusii]

so ive been thinking lately about swapping my 1070 to a 1080 and im wondering if im going to have any major bottleneck considering my cpu is an i7 6700 4c 8t running at 4.00ghz 

thanks

Wouldn't make much sense. If I where you, I would save up and then build a new rig with 5600x, B550, DDR4 (min. 16gb at 3600 CL16), 6800/3070/6800XT/3080

1080p 75+fps and some vr games too

It's fine to do but a step from a 1070 to 1080 is a very minor performance upgrade. Are you getting it for free or something if so sure why not. If you need to pay for the card then don't bother and save up for something that gives you more than a 10-15% performance increase.

What are you coming out of pocket for the 1080 upgrade?   That will define if it's worth it really.

 

But to answer you, no bottlenecks will occur with either.

That's actually a pretty good deal. See if you can find a similar deal w/ a 1080ti

ikr and the 1080 sc preforms like a 1080ti and even a bit better
