Would a 1080ti Bottleneck a 4790k?

I am getting a 1080ti and I have a 4790k. I can overclock it if needed I'm just wondering if I will get a bottle neck and if so, how much of a bottleneck.

I have a 1080 and an i7 4790k and im pretty sure there is no bottle neck so you should be fine but id wait for some other people to respond first as im not too sure.

I've got a 4790K myself (not overclocked) and 2x1080, I don't have any issues with bottlnecking.

Quote me in replies so I see them.

I think you should be asking the opposite, will a 4790K bottleneck a 1080ti, and yes but very little I believe.

whoops. thats what i meant my bad

Doubt it.

 

You should also buy unlocked CPUs if you're going to overclock - sounds like you haven't overclocked the 4790k?

Depends on what you're playing and at what resolution.  Lower resolutions put more strain on the CPU.

a 4790k at ~4.5 GHz is still one of the best gaming CPU's around.

1080p @144hz

I think you got the question backwards. I'd look into the 4790k bottlenecking the card. Depends on the game. Generally I think it may be fine. Not worth getting a 6700k or something higher.

Nothing.

It really depends on what resolution you are planning to game.

If you use FHD - it may as well bottleneck a little bit.

If you use anything higher than FHD - I don't think there will be a problem.

 

Check this article from Tom's Hardware.

Yeah 1080p @144hz

Yeah my bad. I meant to put it the other way around

No he is right, the higher your resolution the more work you throw at the GPU making it easier for the CPU to catch up with it to feed the information of what you're doing in-game so the graphics card can render the scene.

 

The smaller the resolution the faster the Graphics Card can render it and if it renders all too fast for the CPU to feed new information then the bottleneck occurs, that means that if you have a weaker CPU rising the GPU load by going higher resolution helps reducing bottlenecks.

You have enough cores to support this resolution and frequency - so no, you won't bottleneck the GPU.

The main thing is that the 1080ti will help you with this 1080p @ 144hz is that you won't dip too much under 100fps in almost any game.

1080p 144hz you will definitely have no issues. I'd go for 1440p 144hz if I had a setup like that :o

Nah, it shouldn't. That's because the lowest resolution monitor to pair with a 1080Ti would be 1440p. NOBODY should purchase this GPU for 1080p, it'd be retarded.

nah you're good.

 

buta 1080Ti at 1080p? that's just ridiculous :/ at least go for 1440p 144hz or an ultrawide... at 1080p, you should be looking at a 1070 or 1060.

No i mean lower.  Lower resolutions means fewer pixels, which equals less work for your 1080ti, which equals more work for your CPU to keep up, and keep feeding  instructions to the GPU.  Basically, your GPU moves too fast for the CPU to keep up because its rendering frames so quickly at lower resolutions.  I would look into a 1440p monitor, but thats just my opinion.

depends on the game you play, you play a game that loves a CPU yes, probably will, how ever you play a game that loves gpus no, it won't so depends, but for most games probably not

yeah lol. I play a lot of CSGO so I prefer 1080p. I'm also an FPS nut

I'm getting 150-250 frames in csgo 1440p mostly high settings on an i5 and a 1070. Believe me I like muh frames too

Yeah I see now. Im still gonna stick with 1080p because I like it better for csgo and I like crazy high frames in games lol.
