i7 2600 & GTX 1070

[bajasadrveta]

Hey everyone, I found a good deal on a GTX 1070 (used)
And I was wondering if my i7 2600 will bottleneck it on an ultrawide resolution (2560x1080)?

There will be a bottleneck in cpu intensive games but overall it won't be too bad since you are playing on a higher resolution.

yeah you could, Some games will be held back, but you should still have a good experience.

any further GPU upgrade will definitely warrant a cpu upgrade though.

So what won't bottleneck on this platform?
