[SOLVED] How much of a bottleneck will an i5 9600 be for the upcoming RTX 3070?

[reapzstar]

Hey there!

What do you guys think, would there be an insane amount of bottleneck in 1080p in most games?
I wouldn't want to get an RTX 2070 S or 2080 cause they still go for the same amount if not more than the 3070 will cost, tho the upcoming one offering double the performance.
Could I get a few thoughts?

Thanks in advance for every answer!

Best Regards, Richard

Some performance lost yes but far from insane. That 3070 is so worth it anyway. Just upgrade your CPU, RAM, board later.

Do you have a good PSU for that 3070?

 

[reapzstar]

Yes sir, I have a Seasonic Prime 650W Gold rated.

hi,
Using 3000series cards for 1080p is "a waste" for my opinion. They are build for greater graphics. Rtx on and 4K.

well, not necessarily... maybe he want to play flight simulator, cb with all the raytracing goodies, or competetive where every frame matters, so its not necessarily a waste, but I understand where you're coming from there.

No telling, performance tests are not yet out for 3080 and 3070 will be later.
Games are limited by the cpu or the gpu.
What is your cpu?

I believe the 3060Ti is going to be the gem of the lot for 1080p gaming.

On what do you found your belief?
I have seen no such rumors, let alone a card with that name.

OP. Buy that 3070.

I only play competitive titles, don't give a flying <Mod Edit> about their <Mod Edit> RTX and same boring ass games over and over again. I have a 144Hz monitor right now, would the i5 9600 prove to be enough for the 3070 to push the card to it's maximum potential in 1080P, i'd be picking up a 240Hz monitor with it.

Probably not to its max potential at 1080p because you'd want a very heavily overclocked intel to do that.

Its still worth buying though irregardless, why would you pay similar money for a less powerful card.

It'll future proof well at the very least which is always the best idea when buying a new gpu.

The rumors have been solidifying for several days now. It is supposed to run with the vanilla 2080 in terms of performance, with similar power requirments to a 2060. There is a typo in the Tom's article that says it is 80% 2070 in performance. That should read 80% of 3070. All other sites show it as having more CUDA cores than a 2080 Ti, so how can it be slower than a 2070?
