i5 bottlenecking 1170 ti

[Bergami]

Sup?

 

I got a 1070 Ti from a very good price, but I have an i5 6400 with H110 chipset that is bottlenecking really hard my vga.

 

Most games I play at 2k or 4k, are no trouble for my card, but my cpu is mostly at 100% all the time and I can see most graphical options that are cpu bond sucking even more frames.

 

Which brand new cpu should I switch to in order to ease this blottlenecking? I´d like to pair it with a cheap mobo.

 

i5 8400 or r5 2600, other price/performance option?

mabye a i7-6700/i7-7700 k or non k so you dont have to buy new mobo, a i5-8400 has better performance for gaming tho you should get a i5-8600k for the OC

[IdiotPenguin]

You can’t really go wrong with both but since I’m a fanboy of intel I’d go intel.

Strange, it shouldn't be at 100% while playing at 4k. Just upgrade to a 6700 or 7700 so you don't need to to move to a new motherboard and cpu

Ryzen is going to be a better value overall, but what's your budget/country?

[Bergami]

About 4k I thought (as everybody says) cpu was no issue, but it has been. Even at 4k my cpu runs at 100%, must be the low 2.7 @ 3.1 boost that cant handle a 1070 Ti.

 

I dont want a K processor since I dont want to pay for a Z chipset.

 

i7 (even old gen) is overpriced in my country, cant afford them.

 

My budget would be about $ 200 for cpu and about 75 mobo.

And the DDR4? This motherboard might need a bios updated to run the R5 2600

I just need the mobo + cpu or upgrade my cpu.

 

My dram is 2400, perhaps issue for r5 2600?

if you're just gaming, then look for an i5 8400 and H310 board.

Surely an i7 6700 / 7700 non-K would be cheaper than getting an i5 8400 plus new mobo?

Just to let you know, they are at the same price of the 8700

At retail maybe.  Used I'm seeing them around $200, but that may vary based on location.  Going used on a non-k cpu is pretty safe.

Aaaanyway, if you're going to stick to your new board/cpu plan, both chips are good.  I think the i5 will play a little better with the RAM you have if you choose to carry over, and it's a tad better for gaming.

Sadly in my country the used market is too weak to strife for.

Understood.  The i5/cheap motherboard is probably the way to go then.

I got the 8400 and a B360 for R$ 1500. 

My old kit should worth R$ 700-900.

In this upgrade I am going to invest about R$ 600 (U$ 150)
