is i5 - 13500 good for RTX 4070 Ti ?? will this cpu open the full potential of this gpu ??

[Fiveros]

i bought an Gigabyte Eagle OC RTX 4070 Ti  12G GDDR6X and i have a cpu bottleneck bcs i have an i5 6600K

 

for sure i will need to change the mb and cooler , not only the cpu

 

my PC right now :

 

ᴄᴘᴜ⇨ Intel® Core™ i5-6600K ,3.9GHz, 6MB Cache, 14 nm, FCLGA1151
ɢᴘᴜ ⇨ Gigabyte Eagle OC RTX 4070 Ti  12G GDDR6X
ʀᴀᴍ ⇨ Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB, 2 x 8GB, DDR4,3000 MHz
ᴍᴏᴛʜᴇʀʙᴏᴀʀᴅ ⇨ ASUS Z170-P LGA1151
ᴘᴏᴡᴇʀ sᴜᴘᴘʟʏ ⇨ Corsair TX650M "650 W",80 Plus Gold EU.

oof that 6600k..   I had to swap my 9900k@5.1ghz all core because it was bottlenecking my 4080 quite hard. The 13500 will be a massive upgrade over the 6600k.

Your cpu might get bottleneck over there cus the 4070 ti is like a beast (no it’s still worse than the 3070 ti) so I’ll recommend the i7-12700 or the i5-13600k and a z motherboard.

 

Also for the cooler, I’ll choose the cooler master ML240, which is fairly cheap currently and efficient enough.

 

You can keep using your old PSU btw, assuming you can get enough power for the GPU.

The 13500 will be plenty for a 4070 TI.

 

That being said:  what you'll get out of it will depend on your workload.  Not all games run the same, so sometimes you'll have a CPU Bottleneck, other times it'll be GPU.

 

there is no perfect answer.

The 13500 should be perfectly fine for 4070 ti at 1440p and 4K. Although just a suggestion, the lga 1700 platform is approaching its end of life, and since you have to swap you MB and Ram anyways, maybe an AMD 7000 cpu might make more sense. Sure the 13500 is arguable better than the 7600x, but if you get the 13500, you won’t have a good upgrade path, because Intel is moving on with its platform. The AM5 platform which is new, should be supported for a least another 2 generations. As well as the fact that the 7600x or even the 7600 should be more than enough to handle the rtx 4070 ti. But one thing is for sure, if you upgrade, unless you are doing very small workloads with no demand for power, get a better power supply. A 650w power supply should be able to handle it, but it risks constant crashes when you’re doing demanding workloads or even playing AAA games. Upgrading even to a 750w power supply will save you tons of headache and give you a piece of mind.

13600 would be the perfect fit, but as said above, LGA1700 is a dead platform. No more CPUs would come out for that and the next time you want a more powerful CPU, which might not be that far into the future, you will have to change the entire platform again. And judging by the current state of memory development, DDR5 might be the GDDR4 of the GPUs - very short lived. Won't be surprised at all if only one generation and one refresh of it of Intel CPUs comes out with DDR5 support before they switch to DDR6. So probably consider going AMD with AM5 and something like Ryzen 7600X and 6000MHz CL30/CL32 memory. Going above 7600X doesn't really make sense with a 4070. It just doesn't have the umpf to sweat it even at 1080p.

i found a good mb for i513500 - GIGABYTE B760 DS3H AX DDR4, i don't want to change the ram , only the cpu and mb
