Upgrading time?

[BoiZen]

Hi everyone

 

Right now my current specc are:

Asus P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 with a Intel i7 2600K (OCed) to 4.4 GHz boost (been oced for 7 years now at that speed)

16 GB of DDR running 2000 mhz

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 770 AMP! Edition

 

I have however been so luck and gotten my hands on a brand new Asus Geforce 2080 Strix. (just awaiting delivery)

The card it self should fit fine in my rig, and the motherboard does have PCI express 3.0 support. But will my 7 year old system be too much of a bottleneck for the GPU?

It still "clock wise" pretty fast, on papir as a brand new i7-8700K runs 4.7 GHz Turbo (not overclocked). 

 

I was not planing on upgrading my machine just yet, but the new GPU might have changed my planing a bit. :)

Well... Why don't you just wait and try it out? Why ask us the question when you can answer it for yourself shortly lol... I don't think it'll be too bad. Depends what resolution you play at also. It'll certainly be better than the 770, that's for sure!

Clock speed isnt everything, IPC gain from 2nd gen to Covfefe is not negligible. 8700k also has 2 more cores and 4 more threads.

 

Some games will have 0 fps difference whereas other more cpu heavy games could see as much as a 50% uplift

 

That said,  I doubt you'll be running into any issues. You already have the card anyway.

What is your monitor resolution and refresh rate? It should be fine with the i7-2600K. Of course you wouldn't get as high fps as with i7-8700K, but I'm sure you will get a lot higher fps than with the GTX 770.

You'd probably be fine tbh

My monitor is something i will need to upgrade as it only runs 1080p in 60 hz. 

So i was thinking something in the lines of a WQHD with gsync, as i doubt i will be able to run 4k smoothly.

Hardware Canucks recently did a review of a 2600K and an 8700k paired with a 1080 Ti.

Maybe it can give you an idea what you want to do when you get that 2080 paired with you i7-2600K.

The ipc jump from 2600k to 8700k is too much. U won't notice much fps difference at higher resolution. But at 1080p ur CPU will bottleneck that GPU.
