Posted May 31, 2017 Has the title suggests, will a 1080ti "work" with a 6600k @ 4.5 without having to much of a bottleneck? Playing at 1440p aiming to buy a wide 1440p screen, will it work? Or will I need to upgrade to a i7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 31, 2017 it'll work, but there will be a bottleneck tbh, you probably won't really notice it in gaming anyway Snorlax: i7 5820k @4.5ghz, Asus X99 Pro, 32gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666, Cryorig R1 Ultimate, Samsung 850 evo 500gb, Asus GTX 1080 ROG Strix, Corsair RM850x, NZXT H440, Hue+ Smallsnor: Huawei Matebook X Canon AE-1 w/ 50mm f/1.8 lens Pentax KM w/ 55mm f/1.8 SMC lens Zenit-E w/ 58mm f/2 Helios lens Panasonic G7 with 14-42mm f/3.5 lens Polaroid Spectra System Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 31, 2017 Should be fine, not major bottleneck at 1440p, R5 is a better buy if you are getting it new though. Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily.

Posted May 31, 2017 if your screen has 100+hz refresh rate I would upgrade cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 31, 2017 The bottleneck will really only be in CPU intensive games. You'll be fine depending on what game you're playing until you go Ryzen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 1, 2017 If it's 60Hz you can run either 1440p and 4K with the i5. You only would need to upgrade if aiming for high refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 1, 2017 You'd think by now people would understand. The word "bottleneck" gets tossed around too loosely nowadays. How can anyone possibly think that any relevant i5 (K) processor would bottleneck a 1080/1080ti? Cpu architecture hasn't changed much over the last 5 years. General rule of thumb for certain games that are poorly optimized, the higher your resolution - the less likely your cpu will be your "bottleneck". And before you ask: lower resolutions are easy for graphics cards, so the limiting factor is how fast your CPU can calculate data. Higher resolutions stress the graphics card so the CPU isn't the limiting factor.. I game at 3440x1440 and have a 4690K @ 4.5Ghz along with a 1080ti, and everything is fine... i5-4690K @ 4.5GHz |:| Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H |:| Noctua NH-D14 |:| Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 Ti XE |:| G.Skill 8GB 1600 |:| Samsung EVO 250GB |:| WD Caviar Blue 1TB |:| XFX 750W BE |:| Corsair 450D |:|ASUS PG348Q |:| Moon Neo 230HAD Dac/Amp |:| Sennheiser HD 800 |:| Logitech G900 |:| Ducky Premier (MX-Reds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 1, 2017 Author The thing is I managed a sweet deal with a X370 board, a K7 mobo from gigabyte for 100 euros, well I got my mind on the ryzen now question now, 1700x or 1700, is the 1700 just a downclocked version of the 1700x? I will be paring with a NDH15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 1, 2017 If already on a Z170 socket just flash the bios and drop in a 7700k, will better in games and cheaper than buying a new board + 1700x 6600k @ 1440P wont bottleneck a 1080ti anyway, you may get some stutter in thread heavy games Ryzen Ram Guide My Project Logs Iced Blood Temporal Snow Temporal Snow Ryzen Refresh CPU - Ryzen 1700 @ 4Ghz Motherboard - Gigabyte AX370 Aorus Gaming 5 Ram - 16Gb GSkill Trident Z RGB 3200 GPU - Palit 1080GTX Gamerock Premium Storage - Samsung XP941 256GB, Crucial MX300 525GB, Seagate Barracuda 1TB PSU - Fractal Design Newton R3 1000W Case - INWIN 303 White Display - Asus PG278Q Gsync 144hz 1440P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If money for some really fast DDR4 is an issue (3600mhz) then I would suggest dropping to a non X 1700 and adding the 3600mhz DDR4.
