does gtx1050ti bottleneck with i7 8700k if it does does it bottlenech with gtx1060

You can pair a 1080ti with an 8700k and still see bottlenecks, quite often actually.

The 8700K will allow any current GPU to perform to its full potential.

Even the Titan V ?

Yes. the 8700K is as good as it gets for gaming.

Which will be the next "best"?

[Fraser Cow]

The i5 8600k is the next best for gaming and the best value for gaming is the i5 8400 or the AMD Ryzen 5 1600.

I know what you mean, but kind of a confusing way to say it

8700k will not bottleneck a 1050ti. There's a lot of factors that affect performance of a GPU.

 

1) CPU power (speed, cores, IPC)

2) System stability and ram speed (Will only cause issues when not running dual channel in memory hungry games)

3) Resolution - The higher the resolution the more the GPU will be utilised, placing less emphasis on the CPU

4) Texture detail - See 3)

5) Game title - Some games are Single Threaded, in this case even a 8700k will bottleneck high level GPU's (Black Desert Online is a good example)

 

Basically don't buy a 1080ti for low texture 1080P gameplay as even a 8700K will struggle to process the information fast enough, this is typically where you see 60% GPU usage and 99% CPU usage.

 

And to mention, equally a really fast CPU for a low end card is also not ideal as the CPU will be under utilised, you need a balance between the CPU and GPU, imo a 1050 should be paired with like a Ryzen 1600

 

Keep in mind as games become more difficult to run the GPU will become the bottleneck again, even in the 1080P 8700k/1080ti scenario

Are you building a new PC?

[gbergeron]

Jesus lol

8700k is the best gaming CPU up to date and you think it's going to bottleneck a low tier GPU ?? 

 

Its the best cpu you can get nowadays for gaming dont even think about a bottleneck here

You're always going to be technically bottlenecked, as in the 8700K can't run something like PUBG very well even at the lowest possible settings.

wtf lol my 6700k runs it 1440p ultra-high settings 

 

You're not always getting a bottleneck if the gpu delivers 100% of its power and the cpu is not used at 100% then there is absolutely no bottleneck.

You are bottlenecked in the sense that you can't get any more performance out of your hardware

An 8700K and 1080ti is still a bottleneck in that sense, as in it won't run AAA games at 4k 120+fps

And does it run PUBG as well as it would run say CS:GO? PUBG is just very poorly optimized, so no hardware runs it as well as it should.

Should also totally sell that GTX 1070 for like $600 while you can

I think you don't know what the term bottlenecking means. It doesnt mean a maximum performance or anything like that at all.

 

Bottleneck means a component can't deliver it's max performance due to another component,

 

So that said,

 

a 8700k will not limit any GPU on the market now, any GPU will be able to deliver 100% performance with a 8700k

 

Bye

Of course it'll bottleneck, if you take a 1080ti and run a AAA game at 480p lowest settings, the CPU is going to get stuck at like 200fps or something, so until the next Fastest Gaming CPU comes out you won't be able to run a 1080ti at 100% at 480p lowest settings.

You are......... i mean seriously ???? 480p ??? who the fuck wud play in 480p

 

I get over 500 fps in some old games and my cpu doesn't give a shit

 

200 fps a bottleneck dude go google bottleneck definition PPLEAAAAASE ffs

200fps would not be enough to saturate a 240hz display right?

Bottleneck is an entirely relative term, you are always bottlenecked somewhere someway either through your hardware, or by the game engine itself, such as GTAV not being able to run above 180fps or so, else the engine breaks, or Skyrim breaking above 60fps due to the physics being tied to the frame rate.

If you were trying to push a 1080p 240hz display the 8700K may not be enough. 

The OP needs to learn what he's asking. He didn't specify any resolution or refresh rate, or if he's planning to build a new PC to fix his chosen hardware based on need. So there's no way to properly answer his question.

If he wanted to know what kind of gaming the 1050ti could do that's a different question, the answer would be running AAA games at likely medium settings 1080p to get above 60fps if he was shooting for 1080p 60hz.

You are confusing the performance you get in a game with the term bottleneck

 

Simply put there are 3 kinds of bottlenecks for PC Gaming

 

Your CPU and GPU are hardware bottlenecks

and the game engine you're running is a bottleneck

 

A bottleneck is something that stops you from getting more performance, that's it, you are always bottlenecked by something, it just matters to what degree you are bottlenecked.

[Paddi01]

This explanation is pretty good i guess

 

[Jay Deah]

i have never heard anyone use the term bottleneck in the way you are.

 

if something is not limiting you in some way, say would you consider it a bottleneck? it's meeting requirements!

 

i dont care what the dictionary says, everyone ive ever known in the world... ever... wouldnt consider this to be a bottleneck. and ive worked in enterprise IT for 10+ years

[macska]

What? A stock ryzen 3 would not even bottleneck that video card, so consider that as an answer to your question.

[Jon Jon]

That card won't saturate an i7 8700K for sure.

 

As for this weird bottlenecking topic that I feel is more trolling than anything else, it depends on what your target performance is.

 

I target for 2560x1080 @ 75hz, so I mean, my RX 580 8GB bottlenecks me depending on the game as I want to play at ultra everything at times, but I am okay with the drops due to freesync.

 

We have to be realistic in terms of bottlenecks, not just "it doesn't have infinite performance, therefore bottleneck".

 

That's pretty ludicrous.

 

So for the majority of the market that uses a 1080P @ 60hz monitor, no, an i7-8700K won't bottleneck a 1050ti.

Watch the video the other guy posted.

The point is if your gpu is used at 100% ( which would be the case with a 8700k or even a 6700k or 4790k etc ) there is no bottleneck since the gpu is able to work at his full power, so NOT RESTRICTED by the CPU. Not restricted means NO BOTTLENECK
