Go to solution Solved by will0hlep,

I wouldn’t worry about any bottlenecks until after it’s installed. As long as your current 970 doesn’t bottleneck your 3200g (which it shouldn’t) you will see some improvement with the 1070 installed.

 

To check if one component bottlenecks the other download something like HWinfo and watch usage stats while your gaming. If 1 devices hits 100% alot of the time then it is a bottleneck.

Hey everyone

I'm getting my dad's old gtx 1070 soon (he got a new pc with a 3080 ti)

 

Can you see how well some games run on it (e.g American truck sim, Descenders and Forza Horizon 5)

I've got a GTX 970 4gb, how much more fps will I get?

And also, how much does my CPU (Ryzen 3 2200g) bottleneck it?

 

Thanks for helping if you can

look at reviews from when the 1070 launched, it'll have been compared to the 970 at the time.

That'll get you quite a big uplift from the 970, I'd say about 40%. You'll also be able to run more games at much higher settings.

You shouldn't need to worry about bottlenecks, this CPU is good enough.

 

Enjoy!

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Expand for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components and other tech. I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need.

 

Common build advice: 1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

There will be minor difference on performance... as the GPU will be bottlenecking the CPU... but not much difference will be observed... as its a very minor bottleneck...

2200g is pretty weak and its a pure quadcore so yea youll be quite bottlenecked

 

look for a used 3100/3300x if you can find one <60$ or buy a new ryzen 5 5500 (~100-120$) but running a maximum overclock on 1.3-1.35v vcore or as high as you can possibly go with your cooling (i would advise against going >1.5v) should alleviate your bottleneck
