1080 bottlenecking?

[rowanhazard]

Hello all,

 

I have an i5 4590 that doesn't bottleneck my 390, but will it bottleneck a GTX 1080 or 1070?

 

Will I have to upgrade CPU as well as GPU?

You will be fine in most cases. If the game is cpu bound, the gpu upgrade wont change that, but the majority of games are gpu bound, so you should be fine.

Depends...

1080p, likely would (still maxing games) but not getting 100% out of it, due to ALREADY displaying 100fps or so...

1440p, no, 4k, no.

I play in 1440p now, so It wouldn't bottleneck, correct?

I would seriously doubt it would at all.

Some games badly made (like Batman AK) will punish it, but you and everyone else too.. nothing to do with your setup in those situations.

 

IMO, only BADLY made games affect i5's in such a way to create bottlenecks, but in 1440p and 4K, your usually always GPU bound.

Even if the GPU can provide 100fps, the 4590/4690 are great CPU's and no slouch, I have a GTX970, even in lighter games (unlocked FPS) I hardly ever TO never... see bottlenecking on my GPU at all.

Awesome, Thanks!!!

 

Yeah I play games made (pretty) well by big developers.
