Would a GTX 980 Ti be bottlenecked by my core i5 4670k?

Go to solution Solved by bakwan,

The title pretty much says the question. My core i5-4670k is running at stock clock speeds at the moment and i'm wondering whether it would bottleneck a 980 Ti. I'm asking because i intend to upgrade my PC within the next year and i'm wanting to make sure everything will run fine.

no it wont bottle neck it at all, and overclocking the cpu will help getting a few more frames out of the 980 ti

There will be bottleneck though all we can do is to minimize it, but yeah i5-4670K is still an awesome CPU and can keep up with 980Ti.

It's the exact set-up I'm using at the minute. The only bottleneck I've had was playing GTA5 @ 1080 with the settings cranked to max, FPS wouldn't go above 60ish in the city due to the CPU, go to 1440/4k and you don't get any bottlenecks then.

 

Otherwise it's perfectly fine for everything.

Not at all. Even my CPU can handle the 980Ti just fine. No need to worry.

Bitfiend, don't take me wrong, just a suggestion but i think you should oc a little bit,

1) if you are a little "geeky"(which, being on ltt forum i suppose you are) overclocking can be a very enjoyable and rewading experience

2) you paid som extra bucks for the K version of your cpu so better use the unlocked multiplier

3) oc isn't soooo dangerous for the cpu life as a lot of people say(as long as you keep under a certain voltage)

That being said...your choice

Bye everyone
