Question about bottleneck

[enki364]

Hi guys  my build is:
cpu: i7 6700k with Nzxt Kraken x61
motherboard: Maximus VIII hero alpha
ram: Dominator platinum 2400 Mhz cl10 2x8 GB with dominator airflow
case: Graphite 780t
vga:  gtx 1080 strix
ssd; samsung 850 EVO 250 GB
HD: Western Digital 1 TB blue
psu: Evga supernova G2 850 watt  80 plus gold
os: windows 10 64 bit home

I'm asking if my cpu bottleneck my gpu when i will play at 120-144 Hz on ultrawide monitor 3440x1440 g-sync making lag or not ? i need to buy an i7 6800k ?
O maybe i should take an 120-144 hz ultra wide 21:9 2560x1080 g-sync to have a better and fluid gameplay ?

You should be fine with that CPU if overclocked well.

nope for gaming this is the best choice.

no you dont need to overclock the cpu for it to not bottleneck. and you wont see much improvement with more cores since games are single threaded so this cpu and a i7 6950x will bottleneck a gpu in games at about the same rate.

 

tldr that cpu is the best cpu for gaming RN because it has the fastest single threaded performance. it will perform better in games than a i7 6950x a 1500$ cpu because games wont take advantage of all the cores

[enki364]

So i can take serenly an ultrawilde 3440x1440 21:9 g-sync  100-144 Mhz ?

if the answer is yes, what do you recommend ?

the resolution of the monitor doesnt change how much a gpu is bottlenecked and that cpu wont bottleneck any gpu on the market rn

Games are now using multiple cores/threads. I can't think of an example... @don_svetlio I think you're the one who knows this c:

wonder why having a monitor with 60 hz , when i put on the monitor options 120 hz , notwithstanding the gpu give me 120 fps make lag when the processor reaches 90 % of use , I have a i54690k + gtx970 , I would not want problems the generally happen with the new configuration and the new monitor

i7 6700k is best gaming CPU avaliable ... so no, there won't be any bottleneck, even with 2x GTX 1080s.

4 cores on average and yes it might use 8 but not very effectively. for example a quad core cpu with a performance of 100 using all cores vs a 8 core cpu with a performance of 120 using all 8 cores the quad core cpu will still run better

that is not a bottleneck issue but probably a software one or something

ENKI! bb. I thought we settled this in your previous thread! You're getting all worked up by that AMD fanboy in the previous thread lol. Your system is pretty much the best single GPU configured gaming system on the market today. if it was incapable of running games without bottlenecking, then intel would have made better CPU's, monitor companies wouldn't make 144Hz panels, and Nvidia would go out of business.

 

You're getting all worked up over nothing. You have an amazing build there. It will stomp any game you want to throw at it.

[enki364]

Now the question is, what is the best monitors ?
 

[Zyndo]

Of course, if you're still worried about it... just drop another 1080 in there. you know, for extra assurance

PG278Q is arguably the best 2560x1440 gaming monitor

X34 or X34p is probably the best 3440x1440 gaming monitor

1080p would be silly with this system, and 4k is still not really all that amazing with a single GPU yet.

pg 278q isn't ips panel ç_ç
