Hello, 

 

I was wondering if a 4770k would bottleneck a 1060. I am wondering because I am looking to get a new video card and i'm just wondering that. I have 3 monitors and i would be using nvidia surround. all 3 of my monitors run at 1080p and have display port. just to let you know i'm playing world of tanks mainly with these monitors and i currently have a 760.Thanks in advance Daniel V

It would not, the i7 is perfectly capable of using the 1060 to its maximum, overclocking the CPU will help squeeze extra performance though.

 

Worth noting that you should always DDU in safe mode before installing the new display drivers.

Should be fine with that card. 1080/ti would have issues on some games.

I have a 4790k at 4.8 and it gets destroyed by a single 1080 at 1440. Which is why I said some games.

some games like what?! there is absolutely no way man, i often see you in those threads claiming this and that but these things only happens to you all the time and it always end up with ''well, there has to be something wrong with your machine then''....cause i ain't seeing it...and you know that this haswell CPU at 4.8ghz is faster than a 7700K at 4.5ghz so it's basically a top dog CPU for gaming...since you can't really get anything ''noticeably'' faster for gaming, where do you go from there huh?!

BF1 and BO3, which make up a third of games that Ive actually played in the past year, year in a half. So when some expert comes along and can pin point the so called issue, ill fix it. Until then ill continue to blame the games. Even have the same issue with my other rig, even when the cards were swapped. So that means all of my stuff is messed up as it couldn't possibly be the games.

i played 210hrs of battlefield 1 and havnt encountered any framerate, framepacing or GPu load problems...card was fed all it could handle rendering at 2560x1440 ultra settings at around 100 to 130FPS...no issues there, and i don't know what BO3 is...

well duhhh...that's not the CPU being an issue though, it's simply having WAY too much GPU horsepower and a dated monitor.

 

EDIT: 1440p...no no no, i can assure you that that CPU has enough legs to fulfill a 1080ti at 1440p without skiping a beat so long as you run ultra settings.

Ive played plenty of hours without issues aswell. Doesn't mean Ive never had any. And bo3 would be black ops 3.

fair enough, but look man, like i said i run an overclocked GTX 1080 and i do high end gaming and VR gaming, demanding stuff and i'm stupid picky, i've been gaming on PC for over 25 years at this point and i do notice every stutter every slow downs everytthing and if my CPU wasnt up to the task it would be out already but there is simply no worth upgrading this ATM and i would love to trust me i have the money and i would love me some fancy LED DDR4 and a nice bad ass board but i don't see the point of taking this perfectly adequate kit out...and OP is talking about a 1060, which is not a lot of GPU compared to what that CPU can handle realisticaly in demanding modern games...thats my point :D

no hard feelings.
