GTX 1070 Bottleneck??

[Guest]

At what level will a processor bottleneck a 1070? If you could post both results for Intel and AMD that'd be great.

Game dependent. Some is more cpu heavy than others.

If by "bottleneck" you mean "no amount of upgrading the GPU will help", probably something anemic like a low end Pentium or an A6 APU or Athlon X2.

 

If by "bottleneck" you mean "performance drops below 60 FPS or some other arbitrary limit virtually none of the time", you're looking at maybe an i5 if you overclock it fast enough. Otherwise you need an i7 or a Ryzen.

 

If by "bottleneck" you mean "I want the absolute greatest performance ever and my GPU never goes below 99%", probably an i7-6800K or i7-6850K and has been overclocked the snot out of. Or maybe a Ryzen R7 1800X that's been overclocked the snot out of.

Ok cool. Im just looking to get somehwere above 60fps (70-90) with a 1070 and trying to save money on the CPU a little

i3 yes

i5 maybe

i7 no

 

r5 maybe

r7 no

 

fx 8000 yes

anything older yes

would an r5 1600x bottleneck?

Also depends on the res. An R5 and i7 are on par at 1440p

sweet because thats all my monitors can take! rip me

any really?

[knightslugger]

I believe that the term "Bottle neck" should be applied user specific.

Yeah. Most bottleneck occurs at lower res. Can't be bother splitting to different res since I am on mobile. It was like an example

Getting a 1070 next check to be rid of this old 660 and I also have an R5 chip that's OC'd. You should be fine, I see no reason why a 6c/12t Ryzen chip would bottleneck a 1070 when it crushes the i7's in other work loads.

Drive past 60fps only should be no problem with r5 1600. Unless the game is graphically demanding like Deus Ex or Crysis 3 in which a cpu wouldn't matter much.

If you want a solid high end gaming experience without cracking your head much just get a skylake/kaby lake locked i7 with 16gb of ram, it will work out fine even with the 1080ti really, it depends much on your display, like yes a TITAN Xp gets bottlenecked at 1080p by any processor, but to begin with why would you have it, even if you're a cs:go pro player looking for the ultimate fps, a 1080 would suffice for 300+fps in any map which really should be enough.

Im more or so going for mid tier gaming

I would get the 1600 with a 1070 just fine, would actually look for a second hand 980ti even, some are really well priced on the used market.

Just search for some CPU benchmarks and you will see.

 

At 1080p, CPU (any really except the 5.0Ghz 7700K) will bottleneck fast GPU

At 1440p, GPU matters a lot more and an i5 OC (4.4Ghz for example) will handle the 1070 fine

ok so now i guess the question is how much bottleneck

you said you play at 1440p so just get a decent CPU, no need for extreme high end.

 

I don't suggest getting i5 though 'cause Ryzen is so good. Get 1600 or 1700 (don't get the X model, get the normal one and OC)

yea i plan to go Ryzen

i have a i7 2600k 3.5 Ghzand a gtx 1070, is that okay like in BF1? i keep on getting different responses from people and i cant get one consistent answer, thx

under what kinds of settings? 1080p60 high? probably...

The higher the resolution negates a CPU bottleneck as when you are playing at higher resolutions the GPU will get maxed out first before the CPU.
