144hz monitor buddy , 1080

Then the 1080 ti is right now even TOO Strong ^^

you should see for yourself, in some modern games, even ULTRA settings will not be enough to bring your 1080 ti up to 100% usage - because it can deliver more fps, than an i5 7600k can. Even in 1080p Ultra :P

 

But before you upgrade your CPU, i advice you to think about the following:

try gaming with a 1080 ti inside, and then ask yourself: Do you have enough fps, or not?!

Does your 1080 ti run at 100% usage, or is it beeing bottlenecked by your CPU during high-fps situations?

 

If there is no CPU Bottleneck in your games, a CPU upgrade will not give you more fps ^^

 

 

You don't really have to think too much about RTX or Deep Learning. It's their first attempt. And 1080 ti is still a freaking monster, especially in such low resolutions.

You can easy peasy wait for 3-4 years for your next GPU upgrade. Probably RTX 3080 (ti) or even 4080(ti).

I herd tho the 1080ti with the 7600k is not a good choice tho ? a lot of people say it will bottleneck

First of all, i don't liket he term Bottleneck.

Every single Gaming PC has a Bottleneck, and will ever have. Even with an i9 9900k 8-Core with 10 ghz you would have a Bottleneck. But then, most likely the GPU.

no Bottleneck = unlimited fps.^^

it's NOT possible at all, to NOT have a Bottleneck somewhere. So having a Bottleneck isn't a bad thing.

The ideal state of a Gaming PC is a hard GPU-Bottleneck = GPU usage 100%.

Play Witcher 3 or Tomb Raider etc on Ultra 4k or even 5k --> This is a GPU Bottleneck.

 

Second: What bottlenecks (CPU or GPU in most cases, sometimes Ram, maybe slow HDD) has NOTHING to do with the CPU-GPU combination.

It depends 100% on the used software and settings.

You can even have an intel 8-Core 16 Thread CPU overclocked, and you will find Games / Settings, where the CPU bottlenecks in 4k resolution.

Different Games will have different requirements.

 

Ashes of teh Singularity, or Cities skylines and other Strategy Games? Yea, if there are thousands of Units displayed, an i7 8700k will bottleneck here, even in 4k most likely. Can't go around that.

 

CS:GO? Yea, your CPU will bottleneck hard here. Doesn't matter which one you have, you will probably have a CPU Bottleneck here. But who cares? You will have like over 300+ fps easy. Who cares if your CPU bottlenecks here, or GPU? You have more than enough fps ;-)

 

 

Just use the GPU with your 7600k, see how it goes, and decide then. Or post your MSI Afterburner Monitor-Graphs if you think you have any issues, and i can look that up where the Problem is. ^^

There is basicly 1 important Question here:

 

Do you have enough fps in this combination? Does your CPU deliver enough fps for YOU?

- If yes: Then there is no problem. Doesn't matter how much bottleneck, you have enough fps. Right?^^

 

- if no: Then the GPU is not the issue, because it's the CPU  that doesn't deliver enough fps. It won't deliver enough fps with ANY Graphic Card.

 

How do you find out, how much max-fps your CPU can deliver ?

Simple, reduce Resolution to 640p (or whatever the abslute lowest is), Ambient Occlusion OFF, Anti Aliasing OFF. Keep stuff like Object Distance etc on, because stuff liket aht taxes the CPU too.

These 3 things should already be enough --> reduced settings = your GPU can hit MUCH higher fps --> your CPU is forced to work harder to deliver more fps for the GPU --> GPU is bored, CPU is bottleneck.

The fps you see here are most likely how much fps your CPU can get you. Everything up to that is your GPU. Above that is not possible with that CPU~
