An i7-7700 non-K will bottleneck a GTX1080Ti at 1080p?

RRGT19

Hi,
Yeah yeah I know that a GTX1080Ti is a lot of graphics power for 1080p, no need to remind me that.

 

But, I had a GTX1070 from MSI and I couldn't play some games with everything at max, for example GTA V with 4x or 8x AA, The Division neither.

So, I have sold it to a friend and now I have the money to buy the GTX1080Ti, I want to be happy, is not a crime.

I hope that I can play all my games at MAX, god!.

 

Back to the topic...

 

My Gaming PC:

  • i7-7700 non-K
  • Asus Strix H270
  • 16GB 2400MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX
  • EVGA Supernova G3 650W
  • Dell Monitor 24" 1080p 60hz

The question is, as the title says, my CPU will bottleneck the GTX1080Ti or not?.

In some ways yes. I personally wouldn't throw a 1080 Ti in a system with a locked CPU for 1080p though.

How is GTA V falls behind? What frame rate were you getting? It most likely driver issue

why?.

7700 turbo is 4.2

7700k turbo is 4.5

is not much of a difference. Besides, I won't OC the CPU and I don't like that so, why spend the extra money on a K processor?.

If you are playing 1080p just get a 1060/1070

Did you read my entire message?.

I had a 1070 and it wasn't enough. Besides, I have the money and I want a GTX1080Ti, is not a crime.

MSI GTX1070 Gaming X

1080p 60hz 24" monitor.

 

GTA V with everything at max but, if I turn on the AA from FXAA to 4x or 8x, my FPS slowed down to 40 FPS.

I think the 8x consumes just 20FPS or something like that.

and I have the latest driver installed.

No it won't.

I don't think you understand how overkill a 1080Ti for 1080p is... My laptop runs a 1080 screen with a 7700HQ and 1070 and I can max GTA. I have multiboxed WoW on 2 clients with solid 90FPS on both clients...

 

 

edit : my desktop 1070 rig also maxes everything with no overclock, the divison included..

Somethings wrong with your system if you can't max everything on a 1070.

7700 turbo is 4.2

7700k turbo is 4.5

That's single core only. A 7700k can be overclocked to 4.5Ghz on all cores - turbo boost only does a single core and nobody [sane] uses that for an unlocked CPU.

I play all my games max out and control pannel 0n 24in 144 at 1080p with 2 1080 SC, 1 not enough. Now lucky 499-559 plus tax my cost 700 each plus when I got in june. I knew X was coming out  TI was coming out I always get to SC and call it a day. Goal is always to be faster than a single card top card. And my guess would be too and mine will be about 20-25 25% faster than 1 Ti @2038-2068 5400 and temps cooler than X.

another example with my old 1070.

 

The Division on Ultra 60-65FPS but, if I select Ambient Occlusion to NVIDIA HBAO+ and Post FX AA to SMAA 1x Ultra and Shadow Quality to NVIDIA HFTS I had 50-52FPS. I don't know why.

 

therefore, I sold the GPU to a friend.

I still stand by my point that a 1070 can max everything in 1080.. did it have an overclock?

 

Have you considered a 1080? Their price dropped nicely  with the release of the 1080Ti.

I didn't OC the GPU.

I have sold it anyway.

I have the money to buy the Ti, even if it's more than enough, but for how long?.
Maybe it will be at 90-95% of power while playing games, on 2017 but, what about 2018 and 2019?.
I'm planning to keep it for 2-3 years.

Something is wrong with that 1070 of yours, or other parts in your system, maybe software as well, because:

 

Looking at this guru3d bench, a gaming X 1070 plays GTA V at max settings @ 1080p yields 152fps...

 

Yea, 152 fps..

 

For the Division, everything max, 1080p, they saw 83 fps...

 

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_geforce_gtx_1070_gaming_x_review,22.html

 

So, you sold that 1070 too quickly before doing any research to see how powerful the 1070 actually is.

 

Did you read any benchmark at all before buying that 1070? Or you just thought oh this is new Nvidia card let's just buy it?

Dude go for it, The Ti is a beast card, No you won't see any bottlenecks, hell with a i5 you still won't see bottlenecks at 1080p 

I completely agree with you going with the non K, biggest mistake I ever did was going K& Z Mb. I thought I would overclock, never bothered with it, let MSI do its OC tune now at 4Ghz constant and happy with it, But could be sitting similar with alot more $ in my pocket. 

You got the money grab the card. the rest you will upgrade when the time comes.

Regarding overclocking, do you think your signal contradict greatly with the fact that you don't overclock?

hahahaha I like that saying regardless. also its done a bit tongue in cheek, just like the GTX980 3.5G there as well.

remember that all of them just did clic on ULTRA and that's it but, there is a few more options beyond ULTRA,for example the division and GTA V, 4x, 8x, etc.. they don't test the games with those settings, that's why they have a lot of FPS, I had too.

As soon as I turned on more AA, I had 48-52 FPS.

Just saying, turn on AA doesn't dropping the FPS by 100 fps.

 

If you get 1080Ti, probably the same thing will happen again, because it is not the graphics card, 1070 is still kinda overkill for 1080p.

 

Something else in your system is the problem
