i7-7700k+RTX 2060/3060...Will it bottleneck?

Deadlyraver · Sep 2, 2020

Hello Everyone,

I have currently a GTX 1060 that is finally beginning to show it's age. Yet, I also have an interest in the new ray tracing features offered in games like Call Of Duty: MW (new one). Therefore, I felt it would be natural to consider a successor to my current GPU, such as the RTX 2060 or wait a bit for the GTX 3060 to come out.

However, I am not the type of person who considers whole new builds for myself. When I buy a CPU, I expect it to last. So I am slightly concerned that this new (or newer) GPU may cause a bottleneck.

Thoughts?

I think you should be fine, the 7700k overclocks like crazy, overclock it to 5.0ghz. I would think the 3060 might perform around a 2070 super.

It will some but not much.
Here is a run my brother did with his 2080 Super.

hi m8,

Glad to see someone asked this, as I have the same CPU and am considering getting either the 3090 or 3080 Ti.

You will be bottle-necked with your cpu, the 7700k can not feed that kind of gpu enough.

hi,

Yes, I realize that.

At least I can run it for a few months until I do my next major u/g = new cpu (probably = i9 10850K or 10900K), mobo.

When it bottlenecks you will know. Regardless there is nothing worth it now. So you are hitting the pause until 2021. ZEN3 and Intel's Cove with 20% IPC improvement are the ones to look for when you're asking for no bottlenecking or less of it.

i see no problem with the 7700k and 2060. the 7700k is still well in 2020 in my view the best quad core chip ever made and is happy to sit at 5ghz all day long. saying that you will get a small bottleneck but its nothing to worry about games will still look and play nice.
