GTX 1080. i5-7600k bottleneck?

[Elevatormusictime]

what are you planning to run on it?

a pc...

It will at 1080p 144hz, but should be fine for 1440p+. 

[Elevatormusictime]

programs, like are you going to be gaming, or are you gonna be trying to stream/ record / video edit on it

What about 4K 60hz

It will not bottleneck for that (Not noticeably anyway).

Alright thanks

No..... The higher the resolution goes that more CPU power you need, that is why Ryzen has the same or better fps in 4K gaming than Intel

Should I change the CPU then?

What? The GPU load increases reducing load on CPU, its the other way round (I7 7700k is better than Ryzen for gaming flat out, IPC and clock speed is better than cores there).

So will there be no bottleneck on 4K 60hz?

No, it will not bottleneck it at all (Though you could consider R5 for a cheaper price, not that would improve performance much there).

If I went for the R5 would it decrease performance?

No, R5 is actually better than an i5 for most things (CPU power isnt as important for 4K anyway).

Well, that really depends a lot on what games you are playing.....

 

And I am sorry you are right I switched it around

[kronickiller]

my 6600k does just fine at 4k with 1080ti 

i got tons of random games i tried it on everything maxes out easily 4k 60hz

i only game in 4k whole reason i saved up for my xtreme aurous

although not sure a normal 1080 can do it so well

"most things"

Which R5 would I choose?

The 1600, but if you are solely gonna be playing games then you should stay with intel

Nope. Resolution doesn't affect CPU usage at all. Not even a little bit. That's all GPU.

Then you should go for an R5 1600 or an R7 1700

If you read more of the comments then you would see I corrected myself....
