intel i7 4790 GPU compatibility

[feud__]

Hello!

I'm fairly new here and I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU, but I'm not really sure what GPU's are compatible with the 4790 so that there are no bottlenecks.

Thanks!

They are all compatible, as in they will all work. It also won't really 'bottleneck' any current GPU solutions. Sure it may not get as high fps as maybe Coffee Lake will, but the differences will not be huge, as Haswell Refresh already had high IPC and your CPU has 8 threads.

Any particular GPU you had in mind?

I was just thinking about a GTX 1060, is it good for the 4790?

If you can get it for a good price, yes. The 3gb variant isn't really worth it and the 6Gb variant is being scooped up by miners and as a result the price has inflated quite a bit. If you can, I'd push a few more dollars for a GTX 1070

Alright! Thank you people for helping me so quickly!

Have a nice day!

The price is actually FINALLY coming down as of late (STRIX model is hovering around 300 bucks instead of almost 400).

 

Pretty sure the RX580 is still royally boned tho.

I'm running a 4790k with a 1060 6gb, you will be fine

I have a 4790k and running a GTX1080 and have no bottlenecks. I am only running a 60htz monitor but I doubt I would have any troubles with more. I am never even using the CPU when gaming at 1440p.
