bottleneck?

[HeavyFtw]

how much of a bottleneck will a i7 6700k + gtx 750 have

wont be able to purchase my 1070 for a 2 months so im stuck with this setup

 

i just want to play F04

Bottleneck is when the CPU can not handle the GPU not the other way around.

The term "GPU bottleneck" exists, y'know.

Really? Where?

When the GPU is the limiting factor. Ever heard the phrase "your system will always have a bottleneck"?

 

The word "bottleneck" isn't only reserved for CPUs.

Less bottleneck if you lower the resolution and settings

Your 750 is likely holding you back.

Unfortunately, the community saddens me in this regard...

"Bottleneck" does not mean what you think it means.. lol

 

This setup will have a hard GPU Bottleneck. Why? Because the CPU can push much more fps, than the GPU.

The CPU has to slow down for the slow GPU.

 

And a GPU Bottleneck is a "good" Bottleneck. It's a Bottleneck every Gaming System should have as an optimal State.

Because ONLY with a GPU Bottleneck your GPU runs at 100% performance. If those fps isn't enough, you can easy reduce settings for more fps.

 

If you have a CPU Bottleneck, you can't reduce settings except a slight bit with shadows, objects etc. But difficult to have smooth gameplay, if your CPU only hits 30-40 fps.

 

There is ALWAYS (at least) 1 Bottleneck in a Gaming  System. Otherwise you would have unlimited fps. ^^

 

 

Btw: The Term Bottleneck is overused so hard here, it's not even funny anymore..

What bottlenecks depends on the used software. There can be situations and games, where a i7 6700k will bottleneck a GTX 750 ti.

Unless the Software + settings aren't specified, it's not really possible to tell what bottlenecks, and how much it bottlenecks. For example all those "will my i5 bottleneck a GTX 1070".

 

So the point of this whole Thread is pretty nonexistant. Who cares how much the bottleneck is (which is not even possible to quantify anyway). The GTX 750 will be able to push certain fps. If those aren't enough for you, the question about Bottleneck is 100% not interesting here ^^ You can either lower settings, or get a stronger GPU.

 

 

As long the whole System gives out enough fps for you, it doesn't matter if anything bottlenecks.

For example if you paly on 60 Hz with V-Sync. Doesn't matter if your GPU can push 65 fps, or 500 fps. 60 will be enough for you in this situation.

Always one factor will bottleneck another. It all depends on process that we are currently running. If bottleneck wouldnt exist our frames per second wouls be infinite Will it bottleneck? In games I would say yes if youbtalk about 3d ganes with decent graphics.

Don't worry so much about "bottlenecking", people throw the term around all the time on this forum without knowing what it means. Every system has a bottleneck, no exceptions. It is a meaningless term.

 

You will be getting the full power of the GT 750 while you wait for your 1080. Yes the CPU will be overkill in the meantime but I don't see the issue.

Holy fuckin shit somebody else get it. I'm so tired of seeing that word plastered everywhere while being used incorrectly. It's super refreshing seeing someone else take the time to explain it, and explain it well at that. 

 

The definition I like to use is that a true "bottleneck" only occurs when one component is severely limiting the performance of the system in nearly every task. For example: an old Pentium 4 with a modern 1080ti. In this case everything done on the computer would be dictated by the CPU and not the GPU. That is a true bottleneck. 

 

Basically everything we see today are situations where someone is "GPU limited" or "CPU limited" and like you said it's all application specific. Very little actual bottlenecking occurs.  I just wish people would use the proper terms to describe the situation.

There will be no bottlenecks because the CPU is perfectly capable of maxing the potential of the GPU.

 

like @deXxterlab97 mentioned although the CPU won't be on its full usage it is not common to go for a "GPU bottleneck" kind of approach since your gaming experience relies on graphical quality which should be on its full potential as the 6700k squeezes every bit of the 750ti.

 

If you're planning on buying a new GPU and this is all temporary I wouldn't even concern myself with bottleneck, even if there's one there is nothing you can do about it but wait for the brand new GPU any ways.
