question on specs and required resolution.

[DAME]

Budget (including currency): 

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Warzone, Cold War, Valorant

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

hello all,

I’m new here and I just needed assistance on whether a 3070 with an i9-10900k will be good for 1080p? I’ve heard both sides and never have I been so confused. Atm I have a 27 inch 1080p IPS 165hz 1ms monitor and it was a gift, therefore I don’t really want to change resolutions for awhile... my overall concern is will these two 

GPU: 3070

CPU: i9-10900k 

work fine in a 1080p without any problems or killing either hardware before expected lifespan. 
 
Thank you!

Yes, No

Overkill.

 

You could do 1440p 144/165Hz without breaking a sweat with that hardware.

If your focus is gaming and you can find the parts at a reasonable price (good luck...) I'd consider lowering the CPU to an i7 and upping the GPU to a 3080.

If you want to stick to 1080p, then an i7 and a 3060/Ti would be quite enough.

The only 'issue' with 1080p with an RTX 3070 and a 10900K, is that these parts are capable of much more.

There are no negative effects in terms of it killing hardware, it's just that the PC can do more than the monitor can show.

 

1080p 144Hz to me - on an RTX 3070 and 10900K - only makes sense if you want to reach those 100+ fps numbers on the latest AAA games.

1440p 144Hz would make a lot more sense to me, since you get the added extra detail of 1440p and still have more than 60fps.

Thank you!

it's just like building a nuclear plant to power a lightbulb but if you want to turn on rtx can be a good idea for future proofing new pathtracing intensive titles. 

if you are interested in playing older titles just push DSR as much as you can

a bit overkill, especially on the cpu side.

a ryzen 3600/5600 or intel 10600/11600 with a 3060ti would be more appropriate.

Thank you! I plan on switching to 1440p just atm I’m still saving for a good IPS 1440p monitor since they’re quite pricey. I already purchased the i9 and well the gpu will be given by an uncle of mine. My main concern is whether it’s safe and okay to use it on 1080p in the mean time.

Of course it's safe. You can use it on 4k or on 720p, it has nothing to do with safety.
