[SOLVED] i5 4690k (stock) + RTX 2060 for 1080p/1440p @60hz ... bottleneck?

[denisxbr]

Hi guys,

My current setting is:
i5 4690k (3.5 Ghz - stock)
8GB (2x4) DDR3 1600 Gskill
240 Gb SSD
VGA RTX 2060 (loading ... hehehe)

I want to play 1080p@60hz (high or ultra settings). I don´t buy a new monitor now.

I play games: The Witcher 3, BF V and GTA V, Fortnite.

Do I need to update my CPU?

Thanks.

I think you will see a little bottlenecking....but I wouldn't go running out and buy a new CPU just yet.

I think it will run pretty good!

I would try it and see what you think before I upgraded the CPU.

Regardless....I think you will easily get 1080p on ultra with your current CPU.

With only 8gb ram you may be struggling with BF V.

No sure why you got a 2060 and you are playing 1080p/60hz. Yes, in some games the 4690k will hold the 2060 back. And in some games only 8gb of RAM will hold you back.

8gb more of RAM and a good deal on a used 4790k would solve some of your issues. But you also need a 144hz monitor.

I sold my old VGA (gtx 970) 1 year ago and I'm out of VGA all this time. My current monitor is 1080p@60hz.
In that first moment, I'm going to buy a new VGA, so I thought of the RTX 2060.This is my money limit now hehehe
In the future, a new monitor and then upgrade to MB and CPU.

Update: I´m from Brazil. RTX 2060 today available equivalente U$ 500 😱
