How bad will FX-8370 and 1070ti bottleneck?

[Snaiiks]

Looking into upgrading, plan to play BF1, SWBF2, R6 Siege, and Overwatch. Just curious on how bad it will bottleneck so that I can downgrade if its too harsh.

I will run those games at High or Ultra settings at 144hz

I have 32GB 2433mhz ram

About a 12% bottleneck, its not too bad

8350 at 4.5Ghz with a 780ti which is ~1060 I get ~80% usage in BF1 Games like those you should expect considerable amount of bottleneck for those types of games

But its highly recommended switching to ryzen or intel.

All I have in my budget is for the 1070ti, and I need to upgrade my R9 290X as I am sick of

-Crashing

-Noise comparable to a jet engine

-Unable to run games at 144hz consistently

The pros will outweigh the cons though if I upgrade the GPU. 

Later I might upgrade my CPU, what would be a good one to pair with the 1070ti?

Then get it. It's not like it's going to be obsolete anytime soon.

More like 50%, lol

And this is just with weaker GPUs than the 1070ti, AND the 8700k is much better than the CPUs in these tests.

 

I don't know where you have been these past 7 years, but the FX CPUs are pretty crap.

[Princess Luna]

It will bottleneck considerably, all FX processors are pretty much obsolete nowadays, darn cheap 70 dollars pentium g4560 alread outperforms even the FX9590, quite frankly I would not get any thing higher than a GTX 1050 Ti if you want Pascal latest cards paired with any FX chip for gaming.

[Snaiiks]

Alright alright alright. Would a ryzen 5 1600 work?

Albeit I don't want to get an entirely new motherboard.

No choice, new board, new ram, and the Ryzen chip will be needed unfortunately.

For 144hz you want a strong cpu most importantly at(asumming) 1080p

No it’s WAY more than 12%. It can be 50% or more depending on the game. Watch Jayztwocents video he did where he tested to see how bad the 8350 bottlenecked the 1070. In GTA V with a 1070 and 6900K, 130fps. 1070 and 8350, 45fps.

[Snaiiks]

Will the 1070ti just be good enough for now until I can get my next paycheck?

I primarily just play R6 Siege and my FX-8370 can run that at an average of 116.3 FPS (from the ingame benchmark) and I want consistent 144 FPS.

a 750ti is quite a bit lower than a 1060

 

 

AFAIK

Well obviously it will work together even if it doesn't work WELL together

[Snaiiks]

So in conclusion;

Will it be better than the R9 290X and by how little, how much, how much worse, etc?

[asand1]

It will probably be bettter, but who cares? just consider it step one of a new system build. You have to start somewhere, and you can run the card while waiting to buy the rest of the system.

i already relooked at my perspectives. leave me be ik now.

[Snaiiks]

Does anyone know how much better a 1070ti over a r9 290x would be with my CPU?

Just to finalize.

I would honestly debate that it isn't worth the upgrade because of the CPU bottleneck.

 

I would focus on saving for a new system, though I would say keep an eye out for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals!

1.just hang on

2.get more money

3.build a whole new computer from scratch

4.profit

I have an older i7-4700k with a motherboard and 16gb of DDR3 ram. Would it be better if I paired the 1070ti with that?
