I currently have a gtx 970 and i5 4690k(planning to upgrade cpu and gpu, but gpu later since even gtx 1070 gets bottlenecked by i5 4690k) and notice that i5 4690k bottlenecks gtx 970 in some modern titles. I want to upgrade to i5 8600k.
Will i actually notice a difference in fps?
Other urls found in this thread:
modern games choke 6 threads hard even a 4/8 7700k is better than an 8600k
user benchmark says i5 8600k is better than 7700k but okay
The only games that will choke on your CPU are those that need as many cores as possible, like Assassin's Creed Origins & Odyssey and Monster Hunter World
An i5-8600K is enough for MHW but not for the AC games, they choke even on a 6-core.
But we've been on 14nm so long it feels like a huge mistake to buy a CPU now that we're just 2-3 months away from 7nm. It's probably one of the last transistor shrinks we'll see in the history of the silicon CPU, and definitely the last one for the next 4-5 years.
>Will i actually notice a difference in fps?
why don't you run some monitoring software and see what kind of bottlenecks you've got in the games you like right now? It's not hard to see if it's the GPU or CPU or both that are holding you back.
As for buying a Intel CPU right now: If prices are anywhere near what they are here in your area then that's just utterly stupid. You get about twice the performance per dollar with AMD CPUs at just about every price-point right now. That's money you could spend on a better GPU instead of wasting it paying twice as much for the same performance with Intel.
Your CPU isn't bottlenecking a 970 in anything. You'd be retarded to upgrade before getting a new graphics card, and before seeing what Zen 2 offers within the next six months.
ok i'll just get a rtx 2070 then i guess, unless I should just wait for 7nm for the gpu too. i'll just dsr to 1440p to get rid of most bottlenecks until i get a new monitor
yup it is,especially in cpu hungry titles
refer to image
sir please consider buying amd ryzen
>I currently have a gtx 970 and i5 4690k
it's your lucky day because apparently, you are me from another dimension, because that's my old fucking combo and I switched to same shit as you except 1070 Ti instead of vanilla 1070
>Will i actually notice a difference in fps?
aboslutely
a big one
i was actually looking at the rtx 2070. In my original post i just stated the gtx 1070 because it's around the point where you'll start seeing bottlenecks with a i5 4690k
i heard it's cheaper so i'll consider
well, this is just a dumb guess, but if you get a major FPS boost over 970 with a 1070 Ti, I think a two months old $500 GPU should also provide some
>yup it is,especially in cpu hungry titles
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is an almost comical exception to the rule. Your CPU is not limiting you in 99.99999999999% of games on the market, and you don't know what you're talking about if you think it is.
Google a bottleneck checker and see if you have significant room for improvement. Then you can easily know the answer and have some rough idea of how much performance you could get.
got the same build except a r9 290 instead of 970
ive been wanting to upgrade as well but i'm waiting till zen 2 i recommend you do the same
Why do people keep posting that image as if it were anything but a joke
T R I G G E R E D
get a ryzen 5 2600
cheaper and better performance in anything other than gayming
it's really sad that you are so used to intel's marginal improvements year after year that you just cannot belief you could actually get good improvements on a new generation

User benchmark isn't a game

I've seen this video and the improvement over i5 8600k in most games seems pretty marginal in most games
