Will I get any bottlenecking

[Baked Potato]

I recently bought a GTX 1070 SC, it's on the way over from the states. Will i get any bottle necking with this build with the GTX 1070 SC.

 

CPU - i5 4460

MOBO - H81m-PLUS (I thought there would be bottlenecking because the mobo has PCI-E slots that are 2.0 and the GPU has 3.0 PCI-E)

 

^ only important things that could lead to bottnecking, would there be any?

Yes you will

@8-Bit Ninja I do think PCI-e 2 will hurt the performance, even with a game which favors a CPU.

No, no it will not. pcie2 has more than enough bandwidth to handle a 1070.

At higher resolutions it'll be an issue (also at 144Hz).

It's like the 80th time I'm going to post these two links (and I hope they update them soon)

tl;dr, PCIe 1.1 x16 doesn't even cause issues with last gen's flagship GPUs. It didn't cause issues with the generation before that.

 

I'd argue that PCIe is rarely used by the GPU. You can think of it like a storage device bus for the GPU. GPUs load everything they need into VRAM and use the PCIe bus either to stream stuff in if it can be, or swap stuff in and out. If you are swapping, you're pretty much in trouble anyway.

 

As for the processor, I mean, it's not going to give you the same bench scores as an i7-5775C, but it's not going to be capping your performance under 95% most of the time (and no, that's not your absolute performance cap).

i am using an i5 4440 with same gpu...i get severe bottlenet on pretty much any cpu demanding games,i can see the 1070 usage ranging from 50 to 70% ...in some games i cant even hit 60fps,games like AC unity or syndicate,gta 5...tbh its not that bad,but it's noticeable

At 1080p 60Hz it'll bottleneck a bit. At 144Hz or at higher resolutions, it won't. 

It will bottleneck worse at 144hz than 60 u cabbage

Well, you don't have to be quite as rude about it. A simple correction would be enough.

144 hz dosn't change anything. It's juste that to get smoother gameplay you need 144 fps or so.

Your computer will probably run games smooth. There will be a little bottleneck because of the cpu.

I have a 1070 and a 4690K OC @ 4.5 ghz and sometimes my cpu get to 95% usage in rise of the tomb raider ( intense cpu game )

When the cpu was stock, i would get 100% cpu usage in that game.

144 does change everything because ur cpu has to refresh 144 times per second 

and keep the gpu fed at over twice the speed 

so actually 144 is over 100 percent more demanding on the cpu than 60 Hz when playing with vsync

Ah ok.

But, why do I have the same fps in 144 hz or 75 hz or 60 hz in  the same game ?

i5 4690k @ 4.5 ghz gtx 1070

Either because of vsync or a bottleneck

That makes no sense. Vsync just set the fps limit to the HZ of ur monitor.

And where is the bottleneck in 144 hz if I get the same fps as in 60 hz....

That's not how it works 

 

and that's the definition of a bottleneck
