Will GTX 1080 bottleneck

[MikeBoy]

HI guys,

short question: would GTX 1080 bottleneck with my i5-4690k CPU, hyperx DDR3 16GB 1866 Mhz RAM and Z97S SLI Krait Edition motherboard? If yes why?

Thanks for help!!!!!!!

in most cases, no. but in games that are more cpu-bound, yes it'll bottleneck.

It won't bottleneck for a long time. The only games that give me trouble are ones that are plentiful in AI like Total War.

God. It WILL bottleneck. I5's have been bottlenecking GPUS For awhile now you won't get max performance out of your GPU but it'll be sufficient.

Any suggestions which CPU should i use with GTX 1080 and this-> LGA1150 socker? Or should i change motherboard and put 6600/6700 CPU??

You're not bottlenecked by the 4690K, but if you want to upgrade I'd recommend 6600K or 6700K unless you can find a 4790K.

check the link I showed. Clear bottle-necking shown. just not to the point where its unplayable you are just losing slight performance.

Games that use more than four threads will bottleneck. Games that don't will get identical performance to an i7 at the same clockspeeds.

 

Note that the performance loss from not overclocking will be as much or more as the performance loss from having less than the optimum number of available threads.

Get a 4790k, great CPU. With Kaby lake so close no reason to go with Skylake.

It only "bottlenecks" at high framerate which would occur even on high-end rigs. Unless the OP is playing with 120 or 144Hz monitors I wouldn't worry too much.

true but why else would one need a card as powerful as a gtx 1080?

Triple monitor 1080@60.

Virtual reality.

CAD or productivity software.

Person likes the X80 cards.

 

Who knows?

I use a 980 Ti for my rig, wife has 1080, son took my 1070, and daughter uses the 750 Ti(ny) for her ITX LAN box/main rig.

Different strokes for different cases. 

 

As far as this "bottlenecking" issue that's been going around lately regarding the 1080/1070 being held back by CPU's: It's preposterous since everyone is quoting high frame-rate gaming. The most common panels are 1080 according to Steam hardware surveys, with the majority of the market utilizing 60Hz.

I would like to add steam hardware survey also says that the majority uses 970's which is built for 1080p and some 1440p and not at 100+ hz.

So either way facts are fact when you start running at higher refresh rates or resolutions you will encounter bottle necks. not trying to cause issues here just telling the Op the truth. and yes all of you guys are right that he could be doing CAD or VR or maybe even Multi Monitor setups but if he has a multi monitor setup or VR wouldn't you expect that guy to have more money to blow on the computer first? just my guess I'd rather beast my PC out before even thinking of Multi-monitor or VR. CAD and Productivity I understand but they shouldn't bottleneck cause they won't utilize the CPU in the first place my Rendering program will completely rely on CUDA Cores and rarely even use the CPU it goes like up +10% usage on my crappy i3 so not an issue I would assume.

either way I'm not here to start trouble or arguments although I might have contributed to doing that a lot  I just wanted to tell op the truth that is been happening I was a bit dumb and aggressive and being a dick about it sorry bout that.
