Will my i7-8700 non K bottleneck my RTX 3060 Ti?

 

I only play on 1080p @ 60Hz and I am kinda confused if I need to upgrade my CPU right now or just wait and save the upgrade for new CPU releases.

Yes it will, but that doesn’t mean you need to worry about it. 
 

Would you get more FPS with a 12900ks using a 3060 ti vs your CPU…. Yes. Does that mean it’s worth upgrading? No, it doesn’t.

 

Your good 🙂
