bottlenecking GTX 745 bottlenecking i7-6700

[Kudden]

Have a GTX 745 with an i7-6700 from a prebuilt from ~1 1/2 year back ASUS G11CB. Wondering if the GTX is bottlenecking my i7?  

EDIT: I can barely keep up with the comments. An how big of a bottleneck is it?

yes, definitely.  You could throw a 1080 Ti in there and the CPU would still be fine.

[Kudden]

Any recommendations on GPU's? And the gpu is bottlenecking the cpu. Just to be clear. I'm dumb

[That_PC_Kid]

Yes, that GPU is holding back the CPU. You should upgrade to a GTX 1060 6GB at the very least with my recommendation being a GTX 1080.

It can handle any GPU at the moment. Even a 1080 Ti.

1080, medium settings in shaders etc. Have barely touched any game outside cs.

1050ti would do for cs but if you ever wanted to play any new games(triple a games) you would want a 1060 6gb

Basically the best one you can afford/care to get.  If you don't need more no need to upgrade, but if you do want more power, it's up to you what to get.  Like I said, your CPU will handle pretty much any card on the market right now just fine.

hmm, Want to play Arma more. Seem to barely get over 60 fps. and I don't really have a lot of money to spend ~360 $ ( 3 000 SEK )

That should be enough for a 1070 iirc.  Except all GPUs are horribly overpriced right now

 And Thanks for the recommendation

Dude the 745 is a slow card. Not to shit on it or anything but even a regular 750 Ti is a shit ton faster.

 

If you can, since you play a lot of CS:GO and stuff, get something like a GTX 1060 or RX 480.

Gtx 1070 or 1060 you should see a huge improvement

Sorry, but that's just a completely stupid Question.

 

Please guys, get away from this "Bottleneck" bullshit.

 

It is 100% irrelevant if your GPU bottlneekcs your CPU, or vice versa.

In a Gaming System, you ALWAY S have a Bottleneck. It's not possible to NOT have a Bottleneck. No Bottleneck = you haf ve unlimited fps. Do you ever have that? Of course not. There is ALWAYS a Bottleneck, no matter What game. Period.

 

The important Question is only: Does your GPU deliver enough fps for YOU, in YOU Software, in YOUR Settings?

IF yes, it doesn't matter if there is a Bottleneck. You have enough fps.

 

If NO, then upgrade your GPU.

 

 

Same otherwise. Does your CPU deliver enough fps for you? If not, your GPU does NOT matter at all for Gaming. Because no matter what GPU you would throw at it, your CPU won't deliver enough fps for you.

If it delivers enough fps for YOU, the GPU is irrelevant, as it's dependant on settings and Software.

 

 

Now to your Question. There is no GTX 745 out there. This Card is only OEM. Which means, you own an Asus OEM Computer.

---> What PSU do you have? If you don't know how to look at it, make a Picture of the Datasheet on the PSU.

 

 

If you get a GTX 1060 (which is totally fine for 1080p / 60 Hz gmaing), get only the 6gb Model. Forget the 3gb Model, it doesn't exist. It shouldn't exist.

 

GTX 1070 is fine too, if Price is fine. Depending what Games you play, what Settings you use, and waht fps you want.

Yes this is all true.  I can't speak for everyone but I'd like to think people all understand this (never hurts to say it though I guess).
