Cpu needed for a 1080ti

lol I thought the same thing. More than likely he spent at least 1-1,2k$ on that 1080ti and hes cheaping out on an old i5.

Well shit, because i want to play my games on the highest settings etc?.
With such a wide range of cpus i don't want to just empty my pockets on something overkill.

Are you actually retarded? Even a fucking 8700k is only 350$ but that's what is going to break the bank?

Buy ryzen 2 fren

Get an 8400 my dude. Throw that in the calculator

Go enjoy things in /v/ retard

From what I've read, most people who go from a 4670k or similar to a 4790k are usually satisfied and don't see much bottle necking afterwards.

Ryzen CPU would be excellent as well. Way more bang for your buck that shelling out a hundred more for marginal increase in performance.

>Trying to reason with a bottom feeding Jow Forums user.
As i was implying: I want a baseline cpu that can manage the 1080ti.
Then someone saw that and thought "well if he goes for a 1080ti then why cheap out on cpu"
Low tier reasoning skills at works here.

Just don't buy ryzen if the only thing you do with your pc is gaming.

jewed consumers will tell you to upgrade no matter what. Truth is if you are aiming at 60@4k then you dont have to. However, any higher fps at lower resolutions and you kinda have to.

There's no such fucking thing as a universal CPU bottleneck (within reason). Yes, some games will be CPU-bound with that chip. Plenty of others won't be. As you increase the resolution, that number becomes even more heavily-skewed towards the second option. Not to mention that you can't even say [Game X] will be bottlenecked by your CPU all the time. It often changes from area to area within games and even depending on what way you're pointing the fucking camera.

Stop listening to these drooling retards and just buy the 1080 Ti if you want one. See the performance for yourself in the games you play. If you're accepting of the fact that you may need to upgrade your CPU anyway, what exactly do you have to lose by buying the new GPU first and testing it on your current setup, to see whether you're happy with the performance?

get a Ryzen 2700X and don't listen to those intel shills.

the Ryzen 2700X has 8 cores with 16 threats and is future proof

Are you "that guy" who buys a top of the line GPU and pairs it with a trash motherboard?
Reminder that early 2700X benchmarks match Intel on IPC.

Good point, thanks user.

Only a shill would be recommending that he completely change platform as the first and only option. He could easily drop a 4790K into his current setup and gain significantly more CPU headroom for a lot less than buying a new motherboard and overpriced DDR4 RAM as well.

proof it

It's a 5 year old platform, it's about time for a change.

>early 2700X benchmarks
>early
That's the point. Fake hype, but amdshills will take it gladly. A literal religious cult.

pot calling kettle black

apparently I have a bottleneck. meh, no plans for another few years anyway.

Looks good!.

Do you already own a 1080ti and just wanted to check?.

Should I give in to the big nosed merchant?

Nah, I'm not taking sides here. Just don't like the cultish approach of AMD fans, and when AMD fails to deliver, they just shrug their shoulders and say "nobody promised nothing".

n..no. Everything is fine user relax.

I'll probably go for the i5-8400.
Reckon i need to upgrade the motherboard if i go with that cpu. We'll see.

That's why you should get the 4790k. It will perform the same before overclocking and you don't need to change motherboard or ram.

Old but still kicking.

On the "bottlenecker website" it reached 10 percent.
I'll definitely consider it tough.

And the 8400 is 9% and cannot overclock. If you run the bottleneck checker again with the 4790k overclocked at 110% it will drop down to 8%, at 120% overclock (~4.8GHz) it drops all the way to 5%

...I knew that.
Jokes aside i've much to learn regarding pc parts/performance.

You will also need new ram. Go 4790, dont pay alot extra for a "k"- not worth it. Avoid 4770/k

Oh right. Don't buy intel.

Get a 2700X when it comes out this Thursday then you should bee good.

Its going to be shit at gaymen just like the 1700x

>buy 4790
>sell 4460
>buy 1080/ti

I use a 1070 with an i5-6500, never experienced any bottleneck. Get a i5k, anything above that is meme for gaming.

This. I have a 1060 6GB with a 4790. I'd to have got an unlocked one, but I have a 212Evo, so whatever.
If OP wants to get something new, then an i5-8400 should be good enough, and now there are the B boards.

Someone out there is going to spend $1500 on a graphics card so their ryzen doesnt bottleneck

It's a short way of saying the newest unlocked i5 processor, not everyone has time to spend their days reading news articles about Intel and AMD to come and shill their preferred company on Jow Forums.

It all adds up.

Everyone is recommending the 4790K but if you can find a 5775C for around that price then snap it up. It'll hit lower freq but the fuckhueg L4 cache more than compensates.

uh oh

guess i'll sell my kidney for a new gpu

Depends of what you want to manage. This for example manages close to 60 FPS in Witcher 3, maxed 4K. The i5 would have no problems. For 144 Hz and lower resolutions you would need at least a six core, overclocked like the 8700K.

Just get a ryzen, bro. (^_-)

Its still an alright CPU
Wait for Ryzen 2 (not the soon released Ryzen+) for an upgrade unless you really want a new CPU

>tfw sporting an overclocked X5675 with a 1070ti.
I'm probably bottlenecked as fuck according to these graphs but I don't care things run well for me even though my machine is almost 10 years old.

not ti, just regular 1080.

You don't approve and disapprove who belongs on Jow Forums , people will always talk about things unrelated to technology and still try to pass it off, gotta deal with it

it's funny because your image is what the non-programming and non-GNU/Linux parts of Jow Forums look like.

My xeon e3-1231 v3 produces a 23% bottleneck with my 1080ti sli. I hardly even noticed.
