Hello everyone.

I wast just wondering what type of gpu setup can the i5 4690k handle without getting a bottleneck of any significance?
Also a little side question, do any of you have any experience with overclocking this cpu, and if so how far did you get it to go, and what performance gains did you see?

Thank you very much :)

I would actually argue that you could run those, because quad cards are rarely supported so it won't matter if it bottlenecks a tiny bit.  :lol:

Overclocking helps in certain CPU bound games, most games, overclocking doesn't help, but in the games that do benefit from overclocking, they benefit greatly.

That depends on the resolution...at 1080p stick to single high-end card (GTX 970 or GTX 980, R9 290/290X) as those are plenty you'll get good performance...

For 1440p put two of those same GPU's in the cart.

| CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v  |  Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING  |  CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 |
| GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC  |  RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz |
| Displays: Acer Predator XB270HU 1440p Gsync 144hz IPS Gaming monitor | Oculus Quest 3 VR

I have the AOC g24pqu While it may be a 144hz monitor I am fine at 60Hz (1920*1080 24")

I currently just have a 7870 @ 1170Mhz on the core and 5000mhz on the ram, I was however thinking about the new r9 300 cards, but let us see what they bring ;)
