Will i bottleneck?

[Prizzo]

hello everyone im currently looking to upgrade my pc but i used a bottleneck calculator and it sayd my CPU is too outdated for a gtx 1080 and then i checked with a1070 and it said my bottleneck should be fine. so my question really is will gtx 1070 bottleneck with my rig? the website says it will work fine with only 7% bottleneck is that okay?

MY RIG
_____________________
i7 4790 CPU @ 3.60Ghz

GTX 970 EVGA 4GB (3.5)

8gb of ram (will have this up to 16 by the time i buy the 1070)

It depends on the game and the resolution you are playing at.

I dont see a problem with this config. (open for other opinions).

Delete this Page from your Favourites and forget it exists.

It's one of the most useless pages you will find on the internet, ever.

 

1. It's NOT possible at all, not even entirely close, to "calculate" a bottleneck by percentage or number or anything.

 

2. How much which part bottlenecks depends entirely on your used Software, and settings, and has NOTHING to do with a CPU + GPU Combination.

 

3. you will ALWAYS have a Bottleneck in a Gaming PC, no matter what. it's not possible to not have one. Otherwise you would get unlimited fps.

 

The usual desired Bottleneck is a GPU Bottleneck. If your Graphic Card is bottlenecking your PC, this is the perfect ideal state for a Gaming PC, you WANT this!

Because this means, your GPU runs at 100% usage, and gives it all. And your GPU limits how much fps you see. You can easy work with that. Not enough fps? Reduce settings, voila, magic. Problem solved. Or buy a faster GPU, based on your desired needs in performance, and Budget.

 

If you have a CPU Bottleneck, that can be quite a Problem, because you won't get more fps even with reduced settings (except stuff like Object density, etc), much more difficult to work around with.

 

 

So yea. You can have Games, where you will be in a CPU Bottleneck in 4k Ultra.

You can have Games, 3where you will be in a GPU Bottleneck in 1080p Medium.

 

Different games have different requirements for the Hardware, they are differently taxing.

And you can move from a GPU Bottleneck over to a CPU Bottleneck in the same Game - by just changing the Graphic settings alone.

 

 

So yea.. Bottleneck % can not possibly exist. 7% Bottleneck is a bigger Bullshit than me telling you stories about how the flying spaghettimonster saved our Universe from another evil Meatball monster. Well, maybe similar~ lol

 

 

Now some details: Tell us what games you play, in what resolution (and maybe how much Hz your Monitor has, and maybe if it has g-Sync), and on what settings you want to hit how many fps (like, at least high settings on a 60 fps lock?).

Then we can say something about how it will run^^

 

In general: an i7 4790k is still perfectly capable to run a GTX 1080, since you usually run 1080p @ high/ultra, or maybe even 1440p on higher settings.

thanks for ur reply i dont have a i7 4790k though i have a 4790 no K on it anyway would that be able to go with a 1070 or a 1070ti?
