hey guys, I finally saved up the money to upgrade my 1070 but i'm still new to this I didn't think about bottleneck. the bottle kneck calculater says a little over 18% bottlekneck , how bad is that really and is it still worth purchasing ??? if it is , I was planning on getting this( put the link at the end ) model card becuse of cooling and highest over /boost clock I saw. is that pointless with bottle neck and maybe I want to get a cheaper card with more base speeds if there of no use to me ??? thank you for any advice. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TV9BVV...-8VQTQSEr4hF0rwQ&slotNum=9&tag=pcg-roundup-20

Bottleneck calculators are garbage - just ignore them.
What is your current rig, your monitor, and what are you looking to play?

my rig is an i7700k with an Msi armor 1070 , Asus apex ix MB EVGA 750w psu. My monitor rn is acre xfa240 1080p 144hz , but I figured the next upgrade after the card would be a 2k-4k monitor. I play pretty much everything, shooters, rpgs, open world , ect. as I stream as well.

I’m not overcloced now but was planning it after the card upgrade if it helped with the supposed bottle neck

"the bottle kneck calculater says a little over 18% bottlekneck "

That site is an absolute joke. Totally meaningless.

Same system (mine), a few months apart:

There's nothing wrong with your current setup... unless there's something not meeting your expectations?
