BOTTLENECK i5 3570k

[Swordtiny]

hey guys, so i have a question that is very in need of answer.
so TECHnically (get it?) i have this computer of mine with i5 3570k. it doesnt have a GPU yet, but i'm planning on buying one. i am thinking on buying gtx 1070 for it. but then this question keeps popping in my mind, "will it bottleneck my GPU?" and then because of this question i'm start thinking to buy gtx 980ti or something like that.

so please if you know the answer, even small answer will help alot.

thank you

I have both a 3570k and a GTX1070 with 16GB of RAM. Runs great,I haven't had to overclock yet

What resolution? Do you have a high refresh rate monitor? 1440p+, no real bottleneck. 1080p, yes, but you will still get over 100fps in any almost any game maxed. If you dont have a high refresh rate, you wont see any differnce between 60 fps or 100 becuase your monitor can not display it. Dont bother with a 980 ti unless you can get it cheap, it performs very similar to a 1070.

1070 will *likely* be bottlenecked by that CPU, unless you overclock. Even then it might not be enough.

so even if it will bottleneck the GPU, will i be able to see the bottleneck effect clearly?

Quote us in replies to we get a notification so we can reply easily. As I said above, you will still get very high frame rates regardless, and if you dont have a high refresh rate monitor, there wont be a differnce at all as the monitor cant display it.

thank you for all of your answer. it helps a lot

it will bottleneck but that dosent mean it will be bad, you will get good FPS ect but you WILL have a bottleneck

Not necessarily. At very high refresh rates (100+), any i5 will bottleneck a high end GPU. Clocking the 3570K to 4GHz, which they all do, will be more than sufficient. I had a 2500K @ 4.3 and that didn't bottleneck any cards I threw at it. My i5-4460 doesn't bottleneck my 1060 either, not even close. It's all down to the resolution and refresh rate.

what is the minimum of high refresh monitor?

If you want to have the best possible experience at 100-144Hz, you have to get a Skylake i7 pretty much. For 1080p @ 60Hz, any i5 from any generation will do.

CPU is unlikely to be bottlenecked by 1070 if you run games at higher resolutions like 4k and 1440P at 60fps. If you game at 1080P 144Hz monitors, CPU is likely to be bottlenecked. In a case like this you can overclock the CPU provided you have a suitable motherboard and a cooler.

I have GTX 1070 with a i5 3450. At 4k usually CPU is not bottlenecked, but lowering resolution in games like Fallout 4 and Crysis3, I'm experiencing a bottleneck in CPU
