4770K performance with 1080ti

JusticeBeaver · October 20, 2017

I would just like to share my results with my non OC 4770k, EVGA 1080ti FTW, and 1440p Ultrawide results.

I was very concerned about my CPU being a major bottle neck with my new 1080ti and if I would have issues once I go to an ultrawide. I loaded up shadow of mordor ultra everything and ran the benchmark with a high of 150fps Low of 80 and average of 110. So I am very happy with these results for my older gaming rig. I was concerned that I would have to upgrade to coffee lake to play AAA titles with my new monitor, but I learned that I can now stretch this old 4770k system out longer. I plan to do some OC once I get everything in my new case that is more breathable, since I am air cooled.

But figured I would share this in case anyone was on the fence about doing an upgrade.... I don't have many more titles I can benchmark, but after I OC my system, I planned on making a little video on it.

That's pretty neat! I'm planning on jumping to Skylake from Kaveri so I can make better use of my GTX 780(and mostly just to get there, if I don't do it soon I'll have to wait another year and my platform is pretty much obsolete anyway)

Yeah I also had my doubts on how my locked i7 6700 would hold up with the 1080 Ti and it did wonderfully fine... We do over worry about bottlecks some times.

Yup, I was getting ready to put my system for sell to upgrade to the new coffee lake, but I think I still have a few more good years on it. Its only 100% for gaming, so I am not doing anything where I need faster ram or cpu really. So until I see my benchmarks drop below 100fps which my monitor is 100hz and mess with my gaming experience. I will keep my current setup.

Seeing how most people on this forum will have a heart attack if the bottleneck results in a 2 fps loss out of 200fps...yes...they over worry way too much.
