Question i5 8600 + rtx 2080 bottleneck ?

[name68]

Hello,
Will my i5 8600 non-K paired with gtx 1080 ti/ or rtx 2080 work well? 1440p 144hz monitor
Or would it bottleneck ? Thx

older games: no problem, new games: hell ya. I7 7700k minimum I'd say.

or Ryzen 7 1700

Maybe a small bottleneck. But you should be fine for basically most games. Only the most seriously demanding games like BFV it might struggle a bit.

Exactly, look to upgrade to a i7 9700 or i9 9900 in the future.

The i7 7700K is slower than a i5 8600.

Remember too guys, that were talking 1440P on a NON TI 2080. So the 8600 should be able to keep up pretty well with the latest titles.

Yeah about 20% bottleneck

thanks for the answers so it should be fine ? Or can these bottleneck caltulator apps be trusted and there would be 20% bottleneck ? thank you

For 1440p it really depends on the game.

I would say there will be a slight bottleneck overall but both components are pretty decent. If you turn settings up a lot you shouldnt have much bottleneck.

Those apps are pretty much useless as they don't account for the game nor resolution. At 1440P the 8600/2080 is a good combo.

You are right i think it calculated the percentage at 1080p not 1440p but it's not useless like you said.

I'd be careful about those bottlenecking calculators. Take them with a GRAIN of SALT.

Without the resolution it is kind of useless though. At 720P it could potentially be a substantial bottleneck (depending on game as well) but at 4K it could work perfectly balanced. Without these kinds of details it's very misleading to new builders who think they need to spend a lot more on a GPU then they really need to.

Gaming wise a good rule of thumb is to spend double what you spent on the CPU on the GPU.

Here https://pc-builds.com/cyri/Core_i5-8600/GeForce_RTX_2080/0Qr12l/ some benchmarks for 1440p sorry for previous reply.

Bottleneck calculators are junk science.
Here is one test for you if you are looking at a stronger graphics card:

Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

There is nothing wrong with combining that GPU and CPU.

Some games may peg the CPU. Others might peg the GPU if trying to run a full 144fps on 1440p.

The only way to know for sure, if any game appears to be giving you trouble, is to run HWInfo and graph the usage (CPU, GPU, RAM, disk use, temperatures) over time while playing the game.

If anything pegs at maximum for any significant amount of time, then that's where you have a weak link.

6c/6t still does pretty well, albeit one will likely see high cpu usage (expect 100%) in pretty much all games, but, that in itself is common, especially with a very fast GPU...

In gaming comparisons, the 8600K usually outperforms the 7700K, but, if a potential streamer, I'd look at a CPU with more cores and threads...

(If you already have the CPU, you can certainly get the best GPU you can afford, and, carry it with you to the next system when you feel your are too cpu limited...)
