[SOLVED] Graphic Card Upgrade Bottleneck

[Simoay]

Hi, I would like to know for my PC spec what is the best graphic card I can install before it bottleneck with my CPU. I am thinking of installing GTX 1660 super
PC Spec:
Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.00GHz
RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 932MHz
Motherboard ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. MAXIMUS VII HERO
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980

My goal is to play on 1080p resolution 60fps on max setting for most games
I would like to know anyone input on this if such thing is possible

What are you PSU specs?

With regards to the CPU, can you overclock? You should be able to push that 4790K up quite a bit which can really help.

In terms of what GPU to go for, a 1660 Super is probably a good choice for 1080p 60, ultra settings. The 8gb RX 5500 XT, and 6gb RX 5600XT are also worth looking at in that performance bracket / price range.

I think your cpu could handle a bit higher (especially as you are going for high quality vs high frame rates), say up to a 2060 Super / RX 5700, although both are a bit overkill for 1080p (would be better suited to 1440p).

This isn’t really a bottleneck question. Your cpu should be good for 60fps in nearly all or all games. With a target of 60fps gpu choice just determines what game settings you can use while achieving 60fps. However 8gb of RAM may cause you to suffer stuttering in a some games.

How as asked above, we need to know what psu you have.

PSU model is Corsair RM850

PSU model is Corsair RM850

That should handle any gpu you want so no problem there.
