Gtx 1080 ti on a 4th gen desktop

[Maxie94]

Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to install a gtx 1080 ti on a 4th gen desktop.

Specs:

Cpu: Intel I7 4770K

Cooler: Corsair H90 94.0 CFM Liquid

Mb: Asus TUF Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1

RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz

Hdd: Seagate 4TB 5900RPM

Power Supply: Corsair 850W 80+ gold

Of course it's possible.

 

Any potential bottlenecks depend on your resolution.

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

Yes, why would it not be? It's all PCIe.

Ok, I'm intending to buy a 1440p monitor as well.

[Majinhoju]

I run a 1080 on my 4670k (at stock) with no complaints.

it'll perform very well.

And an SSD. You need an SSD.

 

Back to the topic - you should be fine. You might be slightly bottlenecked in a CPU demanding games/places in games but nothing you will really notice.

[hconverse02]

You'll be fine and shouldn't experience bottlenecking with a good quad core like that

Possible? Yes! recommended? No... a 1070 is plenty for that build.

[Bcat00]

Your cpu is more than enough to handle anything the 1080ti can throw at it.

 

the only bottleneck I might see is you running a 144hz monitor, then the cpu might have issues then. Otherwise, its smooth sailing

[WereCat]

It will work flawlessly. I run 1080ti OC with my 4770k OC and 1440p 165Hz monitor without issues.

[Mick Naughty]

Should be fine. Just depends on the game. By cpus struggle with a few regardless of res.

I have a GTX 1080Ti and I ran it on an overclocked i7 4790k with a 165 Hz monitor. In games like GTA 5, there were small bottlenecks. The GPU would drop to around 70-80% usage at worst.

I upgraded to an 8700k and those problems went away.

I am aware of that. I want a future-proof graphics card though

Huh. Wonder how it will go with a 2600x

Depending on the game performance of the CPU. 
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-2600X/2384vs3956
According to this comparison, the 2600x runs a little bit better than the 4790k, so it will bottleneck less, but it still might bottleneck.

Maybe not, the 2600x has 2 cores and 4 threads more than the 4790K

That's overall gaming performance. Games perform better with higher core clocks will get more fps with the 4790k, games that perform better with more cores will do better on the 2600x.

I ran 1080ti with 3rd gen i7 and it was perfectly adequate. There was a significant difference when I upgraded to the 8700k so clearly the card wasn’t reaching its full potential on the 3770 but it was by no means *bad*

Ha... future proof, at the moment this is probably the wrong component to future proof, due to Nvidia soon releasing a new architecture, and how quickly video cards have been advancing (this generation excluded), and how expensive they are. You are probably going to need to buy a new one in 4 years anyway...

your ram might be a bottleneck, at 8gb 1600 mhz at higher resolution games.

Could barely play pugb on 1080p with a 1080 on 8 gigs. Not a pleasant experience.

[iMTHESAN]

My Delidded i7 4770k @4.5GHz with Strix 1080ti 150core+ 300mem+ overclock at 3440x1440 run great. (I have the X34P 120hz)

 

It actually still bottlenecks in some titles like BF1, ultra settings is like avg 90-100fps with 80% gpu usage (sometimes goes to 99% gpu) and 100% cpu.

 

PUBG on pretty much everything maxed is a constant 100+fps.

 

This card is a beast haha

The thing is that I don't need something more powerful for the moment. For a 1440p experience, and occasionally 144hz, I think this is the sweet spot.

[Mick Naughty]

Assuming the games you play won’t be cpu intensive, you’ll be fine. 2 current games I play are, can’t imagine games getting easier to play any time soon.
