[SOLVED] 4770k bottleneck Vega 64?

[mopforfree]

I have a 970 atm and i play a few games like WoW, Hearthstone, and Far Cry 5, but i mostly use it for work(Graphic Designer). My kids play several other games and they have complained of low frame rates on my new monitor (lg 34UC98-W Ultrawide), and i can tell the 970 struggles sometimes(or maybe some other hardware?). My bother in law will sell me his Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 64 (he just upgraded to a 2080 TI) for 250$. I wanted to know if my setup will bottleneck the Vega 64.

Specs:
Windows 10 pro
4770k (OC 4.4 with H100i v2)
Gryphon z87
32gb 2133Mhz
1 TB 850 pro

Hmmm. Yeah, the 970 at 1440p res, will hurt a bit. It's possibly running out of vram in certain games, which can cause that issue.

I wouldn't say the 4770k will be much of a bottleneck. It's still a very relevant CPU. 4c/8t at 4.4 is decent. It should drive the GPU (Vega) fine. The very odd and demanding game (BF V) might push it. But still, it would be pretty balanced match IMO.

You should be fine, the 4770k is still a strong CPU.
