Single GTX 1080 is enough for ultrawide ?

[Kogumaru]

Hi, first sorry bad english.

 

I finish my mini itx build and im really happy, but now I want to order an ultrawide monitor, maybe the Acer predator XZ35cu or the Asus ROG Swift

 34.

The question.... My GTX 1080 can run well on a ultra

Wide monitor? 60+FPS ?? Games like Overwatch, doom, battlefield1? 

This is my build

 

MOBO: Asus maximus impact VIII

GPU:EVGA geforce 1080 superclocked acr 8gb

RAM : DDR4 16GB 2133

CpU: Intel i5 6600k

TY for read and srry for my bad english again

i5 6600k would bottleneck your 1080 so I would get an i7 6700k if not a 1070

It shoduldn't bottleneck by much tho, especially if he overclocks. And I don't even think it would be a noticeable bottleneck although I'd still kinda recommend a 6700k if he has the money.

[zRinn]

For the kind of games he listed, the 6600k will be fine and it won't bottleneck the 1080. Games don't usually need more than 4 cores, and since it's Skylake it should be fine. The 1080 should be able to run ultrawide, if you're talking 3440x1440, on ultra above 60fps as long as you're willing to do some overclocking. On certain demanding games, you may have to turn it down to high to break 60 at full resolution. Remember, 3440x1440 is less pixels than 4k (3840x2160), and the 1080 does really well with 4k.

I'd go 1080Ti if you can.

Battlefield one is the most CPU demanding games of late, and Overwatch is up there. 

 

Buy a 6700k and get the 1080ti later.

No, it would not.

[ARikozuM]

No issues should come up. I'm playing Battlefield 1 at about 90hz at 5760x1080, so you should have no issue with an ultrawide 1080 or 1440.

So that 6700k you have. Nothing to do with gaming huh?

Of course it has. But there is a difference between more performance and a bottleneck. You know that.

The term is lost, it has ceased to be. 

 

That 60+ is what is the important bit. You know that after 60fps The CPU get important really quick. If we weren't talking Battlefield1, and if we were talking 60hz. You and I would be in agreement.

Minimum frame-times do not support your hypothesis.

But the average does. When you run 144hz and higher you want every last frame. If the numbers between the 6600k and 6700k where the 1060 and RX 480.

 

Would you argue?

Yes. A 144hz monitor can display nearly everything below 144hz without issue and you're arguing for an upgrade that isn't necessary nor in the scope of this thread. The benchmark is for 1920x1080 and the numbers would run much lower with ultrawide 1440@100hz or 144hz.

Why my original post said to follow that with a 1080ti. 

 

And before you bring up price, we're talking about ultrawide here. I run dual cards and that's too rich for my blood LOL.

Price? He already has the components assuming his "build" is built. He's asking if the ROG Swift or Predator would be a good match for the GPU.

So, no? 

 

For Overwatch all day. But not Battlefield1. 

[Kogumaru]

Ty for all the Replys 

 

Cant overclock my CpU because its a slim build with the Silverstone RVZ02.

 

Maybe upgrade the cpu the next year.

 

Sad because my build can run well the BF1 on ultrawide.

no... it won't. not if it's a gaming machine. you simply don't need hyperthreading for gaming.... at all... watch any of linus' videos. 1440p is also very gpu intensive.

 

as to the OP's question, it's a mix. On games like Overwatch, 144hz easy, or even a much more intensive game like GTA V, you should pull over 100fps pretty easily. Doom will perform similarly to GTA V.

In only one game (BF1) because it's an unoptimized piece of shit. This word gets tossed around very lightly on here.

 

Please. Stop.

 

To answer the OP's question though, it's entirely dependent on the game. I'd personally wait for the 1080ti imho.

You're fine, don't listen to LTT's overthinking CPU bottleneck squad.

 

I suggest grab that ROG Swift 34 1440p.
